Recenzii

Uncovering processes, which underpin the convergence of doing well and doing good is critical in the discussion on the role of business in society. In this work, Nicholson, B., Babin, R. and Lacity, M. go beyond colorful anecdotes and political rhetoric by offering sound empirical evidence of both: outsourcing as a mechanism for doing well with its emphasis on efficiencies and effectiveness, and CSR mindset of doing good by bringing social outcomes into business equations. As digital revolution continues to reshape both outsourcing and CSR, understanding fundamentals is critical in continuing this discussion on business and society.'
- Wanda R. Lopuch, Chair of the Board Global Sourcing Council

"This book is timely and important in the light of the CSR mandate in the new Companies Bill in India. Corporations should be seen to do good, the impact should be visible, measurable and the result of strategic thinking."
- Gayathri Mohan, Vice President Corporate Responsibility Steria, India

"I recommend this book to players in the outsourcing ecosystem who need to better understand the value of Impact Sourcing. Impact sourcing not only creates an impact to the society at large but also makes perfect business sense! Organizations not only are able to procure IT and Business Process services at the right price points but also enhance their brand by doing socially responsible outsourcing. Service providers generate tremendous amount of good will in the society by employing underprivileged youth, diversify to new geographies and reduce operating costs"
- Kevin S. Parikh, Chairman of Avasant Foundation and Global CEO, Avasant

"Socially responsible outsourcing is a notion that has been gaining steam over the last several years and it's exploration has been sorely needed. This book approaches the subject in a reasoned and thoughtful fashion with the contributed chapters coming from distinguished individuals in the sourcing community. Their combined efforts give me hope that we will now be able to move forward with global sourcing having positive social impact. I very much welcome this book and encourage the sourcing community to read it, and learn from it."
- Rudy Hirschheim, Ourso Family Distinguished Professor of Information Systems and Decision Sciences Department & CCT, Louisiana State University, USA

'Brian Nicholson, Ron Babin and Mary Lacity have brought together a thought-provoking collection of articles which provide a definitive picture of the developments in socially responsible sourcing. The case studies they describe demonstrate the wide diversity of people and communities who have been benefiting from initiatives driven by a socially responsible sourcing vision. An impressive and heart-warming read."
- Adrian Quayle, Managing Partner, Avasant, Chair ISO Committee on Outsourcing ISO 37500, NOA Council Member, IAOP UK Chapter Co-Chair

"[This] book Socially Responsible Outsourcing: Global Sourcing with Social Impact is a must read for all stakeholders engaged in the outsourcing value chain"
-Chetan Sharma , Datamation
 
"Dr. Nicholson and his colleagues shine a much needed light on the companies who challenge the status quo of sourcing for global talent by living the creed of 'if you can do the job you should get the job...' "
- Monty P. Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer, Rural Sourcing Inc., US
