Analysis of increased information technology outsourcing factors

Franc Brcar (Author), Boris Bukovec (Author)

Abstract

The study explores the field of IT outsourcing. The narrow field of research is to build a model of IT outsourcing based on influential factors. The purpose of this research is to determine the influential factors on IT outsourcing expansion. A survey was conducted with 141 large-sized Slovenian companies. Data were statistically analyzed using binary logistic regression. The final model contains five factors: (1) management’s support; (2) knowledge on IT outsourcing; (3) improvement of efficiency and effectiveness; (4) quality improvement of IT services; and (5) innovation improvement of IT. Managers immediately can use the results of this research in their decision-making. Increased performance of each individual organization is to the benefit of the entire society. The examination of IT outsourcing with the methods used is the first such research in Slovenia.

Secondary title:	Analiza faktorjev povečanja zunanjega izvajanja informatike
Secondary abstract:	Študija raziskuje področje zunanjega izvajanja informatike. Kot ožje raziskovalno področje definiramo izgradnjo modela na osnovi vplivnih faktorjev. Namen raziskave je ugotoviti, kateri faktorji vplivajo na razmah zunanjega izvajanja informatike. Naredili smo anketo med 141 največjimi slovenskimi organizacijami. Podatke smo statistično obdelali z binarno logistično regresijo. Končni model vsebuje pet faktorjev: (1) podpora najvišjega managementa; (2) znanje o zunanjem izvajanju informatike; (3) povečanje uspešnosti in učinkovitosti; (4) povečanje kakovosti storitev informatike in (5) povečanje inovativnosti informatike. Izsledke raziskave bo menedžment v organizacijah lahko takoj uporabil pri svojih odločitvah. Večja uspešnost vsake posamezne organizacije pomeni pridobitev za celotno družbo. Ta raziskava zunanjega izvajanja informatike je z uporabljenimi metodami prva tovrstna študija v slovenskem prostoru.
