Emerald is launching a new journal: Strategic Outsourcing: An International Journal. Outsourcing — or “outside resource using” as explained by Arnold (2000)* in EJPSM — is a frequent object of study for scholars that seek identity in Operations Management, Purchasing and Logistics, and has wide implications for the interorganisational setting.
The aim of this new journal is to “…foster and lead the international debate on outsourcing by providing a central, authoritative and independent forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development, applications, processes and current practices relating to the design, implementation and undertaking of strategic outsourcing.
It aims to be the only academic journal to provide a holistic and global perspective on outsourcing, regardless what sector or industry of application.“
