基于163个离岸信息技术外包项目,以分层回归与聚类分析相结合的方式,探讨了中国离岸信息技术外包产业中任务不确定性与外部流程整合对项目绩效的作用机制。研究结果表明,二者对项目绩效既存在单独作用,又存在共同作用。并由此期望通过对三者关系的认知,为中国接包方企业的经营实践提供更为明确的思路。
Based on 163 offshoring ITO projects,this paper empirically investigates the effect of task uncertainty and external process integration on project performance in China's ITO offshoring industry,by using hierarchical regression analysis and cluster analysis.Results show that task uncertainty and external process integration have both individual effect and collective effect on project performance.This enriches the current understanding of their relationships,and provides a clearer guidance on Chinese vendors' operation practices.
