Digital transformational outsourcing: A necessity analysis of service provider capabilities
Capabilities enable performance, but how does their absence constrain performance? We ask this critical question as firms continuously adapt to the fast-evolving environment, refreshing their capabilities. Studying outsourcing service provider capabilities in digital transformational outsourcing in the IT-enabled business services industry, we explore the capability constraining query by adopting a necessary but not sufficient logic. By developing and testing necessity hypotheses, we identify an inherent hierarchy in dynamic capabilities, depicting how different levels of capabilities constrain performance to varying levels. The above enables us to guide an order of capability development in provider firms.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
