“…We conducted a literature review of IT governance in general and governance mechanisms in particular, in order to provide an overview of the current body of knowledge and to share understanding of basic terms [22]. By focusing our research study on multisourcing, we could also investigate governance mechanisms that are utilized in IT outsourcing relationships (please refer to section 3).…”

Many international corporations are adopting multisourcing strategies. Multisourcing is defined as the blending of services from multiple companyinternal and external suppliers. To date, performance measurement and governance-related aspects have been scarcely covered in the academic literature of IT outsourcing. With this study, we intend to broaden understanding of how business groups utilize governance mechanisms in a multi-sourced IT environment. This article contributes to the body of knowledge in three ways. First, it describes established IT governance mechanisms; second, it presents insights into a real-life example of IT governance mechanisms at a leading financial services provider; and third, it extends current literature toward multisourcing in a group-context by proposing a framework of IT governance mechanisms targeting the different relationships of multisourcing in business groups. In addition, this research is useful for corporations facing similar challenges.

Many international corporations are now adopting multisourcing approaches to information technology (IT). Multisourcing is described as the disciplined provision and blending of services from multiple suppliers both outside the company and within the company. This approach to meeting business goals is primarily concerned with the relationship between the client organization and the multiple suppliers. To date, aspects relating to performance measurement and governance have scarcely been covered in the literature, and established IT frameworks such as control objectives for information and related technology (COBIT) provide imprecise approaches for monitoring suppliers. In this study, we intend to sharpen the existing understanding of how corporations manage and monitor suppliers in a multisourced environment and of why specific key performance indicators (KPIs) are utilized. We provide insights using a real-life example of the monitoring of IT application development and maintenance (IT ADM) suppliers and suggest monitoring dimensions based on a cross-case analysis. Based on inter-rater reliability, we further derive a minimum set of corresponding IT ADM KPIs. This study is expected to help corporations facing similar challenges by providing a set of essential KPIs to monitor IT ADM suppliers.

“…Indeed, the literature review is accepted to be an essential element of becoming an 'expert in the field' (Hart, 2003, p.1). Far from being an appendage, or an ad-hoc 'add-on' (Gordon and Stewart, 2002), a review of literature ensures that the researcher appreciates the debates in a field, helping to develop an argument and an explanation of how they are going to extend existing knowledge (Zorn and Campbell, 2006). There appears to be no disagreement amongst scholars on the importance of the literature review for academic purposes.…”

Marketing education and the employability challenge

A major external challenge faced by UK higher education institutions is employability. For some academics, this poses a challenge and many feel it is not their role to help students acquire the generic employability attributes required in the workplace. In this paper, we demonstrate how innovative teaching practice at a UK Business School has ensured the development of good marketing subject learning, whilst at the same time has provided students with an opportunity to acquire generic employability attributes. This has been achieved by approaching an academic staple: the literature review as a series of well-designed tasks in which students learn through participation in rather than individually. The approach is based on a social practice framework and contributes to assertions in the literature good learning can lead to good employability.
