The Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and Foucauldian perspectives are brought to bear on five outsourcing relationships in order to test the application of these discourses to rich qualitative data over the outsourcing contractual life-cycle. This will be the first study illustrating the relevance of Foucauldian concepts of governmentality, discourse and power relations to the study of outsourcing arrangements, and will also incorporate the perspectives of both client and supplier organizations. Using discourse analysis, the objective is to critically deconstruct and provide fresh insight into the normative 'outsourcing' discourse that has grown up around global sourcing practices over the last 30 years.Technology, Work and Globalization,2730-6631Corporate governanceBusiness information servicesLinguisticsMethodologyCorporate GovernanceIT in BusinessResearch Methods in Language and LinguisticsCorporate governance.Business information services.LinguisticsMethodology.Corporate Governance.IT in Business.Research Methods in Language and Linguistics.658.4Lioliou Eleniauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut985808Willcocks Leslie Pauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337814103321Global Outsourcing Discourse2253261UNINA
