So at work today, I finalized our latest edition of Faculty Focus*, that features Rudy Hirschheim, professor and PhD advisor in the ISDS department of the E. J. Ourso College of Business.
Rudy Hirschheim talks about his area of expertise and study: outsourcing... a topic we have been introduced to in BADM 7050.
"A phenomenon in which a user organization (client) transfers property or decision rights over information technology infrastructure to an external (vendor) organization (Levina and Ross, MIS Quarterly, 2003)."
My favorite part of the interview is a little fun fact on outsourcing I learned. Some say that outsourcing dates back to the Roman ages. Romans outsourced tax collection to people they conquered.
*Side note: Faculty Focus is a new series in which Dean Jones interviews faculty members about various achievements and/or their area of study.
You can check out the 3:42 video interview on outsourcing on theE. J. Ourso College of Business home page... enjoy ;).
