This article's main objective is to examine some known management theories under the offshoring point of view. It detaches some factors in existing theories and how they can be at risk in an increasing offshoring of services processes. In the absence of more systematic studies about the effects of offshoring over value chain and core competencies imprecise borders and definitions, we try to interpret them in a holistic manner and stimulate discussions in a new area of study rather than to provide definitive general conclusions. The methodological aspects mainly concerning the offshoring bibliography are very impressive, especially since 2000. There seems to be a new trend appearing, like a wedge between strategy and international business theories, or that at least complements these theories. The analysis presented in this paper is offered as an aid to systematic investigation involving value chains, core competencies, innovations and the accelerated process of offshore outsourcing of services. Some preliminary evidence showed countries and companies in good conditions to improve their participation in the international market. The internationalization of these new firms from emerging countries and their learning process may need extension to existing theories, at least from the perspective of emerging and in the developing world.

“…According to Clark et al (1995) andDe Looff (1997), the cost is the most important motivator of outsourcing due to the growth of the budget brought about by greater use of IT. And the dominant thinking that guides the current methodologies for suppliers selection of IT services, as Prado and Takaoka (2002), Reinhard and Bergamaschi (2008) and Meireles (2007), focuses, primarily, on the lowest price of the service and/or reduction the total value of IT services.…”

“…It is clear that technological evolution contributes to the growth of outsourcing as many products and IT services have become commodities and allowed the companies to obtain economies of scale through external suppliers. (Meireles, 2007) Prado and Takaoka (2002) concluded that there are seven main motivating factors for outsourcing in industrial enterprises from São Paulo, considering that cost reduction and access to knowledge and technology are the two more relevant factors.…”

The main reasons that motivate companies to outsource the services of Information Technology (IT) are: reducing costs, improving service quality and concentration on their core competencies. And the decision criteria of the contracting company are focused on those reasons. This article proposes a strategic criterion: the company should hire the supplier that best leverages their competitive advantages. This criterion implies the need to develop a specific methodology to this purpose, which is reported in this paper. To support it, the authors analyzed the models of Porter, Resource-Based View, Balanced Scorecard and the Fields and Weapons of the Competition, and making an option for the latter. The methodology was developed and applied to an Insurance Company and accepted by their leaders.

“…De acordo com Prado & Takaoka (2002), os contratos de terceirização podem ser contratos de incentivo, mais baseados em expectativas de que tanto o cliente como o fornecedor vão realizar negócios por vários anos. Klepper & Jones (1998) observaram que, apesar de a terceirização trazer benefícios, existem também custos e riscos a ser considerados.…”

A estratégia de terceirização tem sido praticada pelas empresas como uma opção para obter diferencial competitivo com a aplicação de sistemas de informação. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação entre a estratégia de terceirização de sistemas de informação e o alinhamento entre estratégia de negócios e de tecnologia de informação (AE 1 ). O método de pesquisa utilizado foi o estudo de caso. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de análise documental e entrevistas orientadas pelos modelos de AE e teorias relacionadas à terceirização de sistemas de informação identificados na literatura. Verificouse, pelos resultados obtidos, aderência da organização estudada aos modelos e concluiu-se que a mesma apresenta alto nível de AE. Ao final, foram propostas bases para um modelo de AE que contemple a junção das variáveis identificadas nos modelos estudados, destacando aquelas que possibilitam identificar a relação entre a terceirização de sistemas de informação e o alinhamento.Palavras-chave: alinhamento estratégico entre negócios e TI, estratégia de terceirização de sistemas de informação, modelos de avaliação do alinhamento estratégico.
