- Abstract
Outsourcing is a strategy being considered appropriate to cope with the current turbulent times. In the information systems (IS) area, outsourcing has fastly become an essential part of an organization's IS strategy. By signing outsourcing agreements, firms expect to reduce their overall information technology (IT) costs, focus on their core competencies, and gain superior technical resources. This paper offers a conceptual model for the area of outsourcing, which is based primarily on the concept of meta-abilities. The principal argument offered by this paper is that organizations need to develop meta-abilities in order to facilitate the process of outsourcing. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
