“…Young et al (2012) revealed that the capabilities for surveillance inherent in a web-based knowledge management system severely limited knowledge sharing. Second, since China is a destination for IT outsourcing, research on the theme of IT outsourcing in China has mostly focused on vendors (Jarvenpaa and Mao, 2008;Abbott et al, 2013;Su, 2013), unlike studies based on Western contexts. Third, with regard to the value of IS, researchers often focused on IT governance (Xue et al, 2008), or on the impact of IS on organizational resources and capabilities Wang et al, 2012) in Chinese firms.…”

“…As late-comers in the developed market overseas, Chinese vendors usually undertake a subcontractor's role (Jarvenpaa and Mao, 2008). On the other hand, in the onshore outsourcing market embedded in an emerging economy, many client firms are in the stage of developing large-scale complex IT systems from scratch, and thus often adopt a full life-cycle outsourcing model including consultancy, business analysis, design, implementation, testing, support, and maintenance (Su, 2013).…”

“…A distinct feature of the China-Japan outsourcing market is a mediated offshore development model, in which a Japanese IT firm becomes the top tier vendor taking the contract and outsourcing low value-added work to Chinese vendors (Jarvenpaa and Mao, 2008;Su, 2013).…”

Research on information technologies (IT) in China has gained increasing attention in the international information systems (IS) community. This study systematically reviews papers on IT in China published in the 'Senior Scholars' Basket of Journals' from 2000 to 2013. We have two specific objectives: to identify key research issues and trends, and to propose future directions for research on IT in China. This paper categorizes the global distribution of authors and their research methods. Five research streams are identified, including human behaviors in IS adoption and use, IS management, e-Business, social media, digital collaborations and group support, and industry and societal issues in IS. While each stream is examined in detail, we specifically pay attention to the effect of the Chinese context in each paper and the approaches to contextualizing the research. On the basis of our findings from the literature review, we propose a focus on the Chinese context as guidance for future research.

“…If Cloud Sourcing is predicted to create an evolutionary shift in outsourcing of IT, then why is this evolutionary statement with a great impact not justified through research and with empirical evidence? Of course, many will probably disagree with this assertion that what is discussed in practice on IT outsourcing Chinese IT service suppliers expanding to new markets globally exploiting new opportunities Su [47] IT outsourcing Study on relation between IT outsourcing and decrease in IT operating costs Cloud Sourcing is still not captured by the academic world in published papers. But the growth of Cloud Sourcing as a field is real and, arguably, might be the most significant factor in the historical development of outsourcing.…”

Although Cloud Sourcing has been around for some time it could be questioned what actually is known about it. This paper presents a literature review on the specific question if Cloud Sourcing could be seen as the next generation of outsourcing. The reason for doing this is that from an initial sourcing study we found that the sourcing decisions seems to go in the direction of outsourcing as a service which could be described as Cloud Sourcing. Whereas some are convinced that Cloud Sourcing reduces cost and complexity in advantage for increased labor productivity, others maintain that the negotiation with the cloud provider is crucial to ensure data privacy, security regulations, compliance, standards, tolerance for risk, governance and service level agreements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the debate on Cloud Sourcing in the top IS conferences and AIS basket of 8 journals goes in the direction of Cloud Sourcing being the future of sourcing as practice predicts, and to identify the space for the development of this research. An introductory literature review showed that there is not much written about Cloud Sourcing as an alternative for outsourcing albeit it seems to have a great potential.

“…According to Banalieva and Eddleston (2011), the way the firm is going to enter a foreign market is one of the most important decisions to be made concerning internationalization. Su (2013) says that internationalization processes can vary according to these factors: internationalization strategies, the company's operational capacity and customer relationships. Therefore, in considering how to enter a foreign market, companies need also to consider such internal aspects of the organization.…”

The goal of this article is to identify internationalization patterns and analyze their effects on company performance. This is a quantitative study with a sample of 343 Brazilian companies that have had export operations for more than three years. Results indicate that companies choose between two distinct paths to internationalization. In the first group are firms that seek to enter the global market proactively. They are present in more countries, have an in-house department of internationalization and a better economic-financial performance. The second group consists of companies that approach internationalization reactively. They outsource part of the process, succeed only in entering markets that are less demanding and do not perform as well as the first group.
