Since offshoring appears to offer a certain degree of protection from the liberation of an organisation’s internal knowledge or core competences to potential competitors, would this rank as candidate for deployment in strategically important processes ? or limited to the same selection as outsource deployment?
my Rationale; harmon’s model slightly ignores the influence of key drivers of change;’real world’growing globalisation; global convergence of standards & legislation redress etc,, could there be merit in offshoring strategically important tasks? Safe, or a step too far? May happen anyway from emergence, or through the combination of the lenses of ‘experience/design, but just seems un-addressed by the model somehow, .
