Direct and indirect value creation in offshored knowledge-intensive services

Abstract: Despite increasing interest in offshoring of knowledge-intensive services, it is still undetermined if sourcing of services, truly creates the anticipated value for clients. Moreover, even less is known if there is value created for service providers in the process beyond the general service trade. This lack of knowledge is based on the challenges in capturing value creation, the unique production process of the services and the impact of offshoring on both value creation and the production process.

“…In the example above, the client explains the model and shares knowledge on possible locations of information. The service provider establishes how the models are updated and where required information can be found (Brandl, 2017). Thus, the potential benefits of increased CD associated with problem solving are vast, as solutions have been framed and can be understood fairly easily (Stabell & Fjeldstad, 1998).…”

“…the production of services (e.g. Goldstein et al, 2002) is subject to change as a consequence of offshoring (see Brandl, 2017, for an exception). For example, in the case of Outsourcia, a Moroccan provider of offshore services, "employees soon progressed beyond simply fielding complaints and inquiries to developing close and continuing relationships with the clients" (Financial Times, 2013).…”

However, in order to fully understand the complexities of service offshoring (as called for by Bals, Jensen, Larsen, & Pedersen, 2013), an activity-driven analysis that moves beyond a firm-level and static perspective is imperative (see also, for exceptions, Brandl, 2017;Brandl et al, 2017;Jensen & Pedersen, 2011;Srikanth & Puranam, 2014).…”

“…The framework is used to characterize KIS and identify the activities and actors to transfer and co-create knowledge in the production process. It corresponds with a variety of other service production processes from service management literature (e.g., Aarikka-Stenroos & Jaakkola, 2012;O'Farrell & Moffat, 1991;Ordanini & Pasini, 2008) and has, for example, been used by Brandl (2017) to study value creation possibilities for clients and service providers in service offshoring or by Mol and Brandl (2018), to conceptualize the impact of cognitive distance on service offshoring.…”
