Rouvinen has contributed to this paper as a part of BRIE-ETLA collaborative research.
2 Data show that Conclusions computer use is almost saturated (72%=>75%, 2004=>2010) share of IT specialists is growing in businesses (4% => 6%, 1995=>2009) IT support from external IT specialists is growing (42%=>53%, 2004=>2010) Attention to the role of IT specialists & IT outsourcing (i.e external IT specialists) Analyses give indication Significant productivity effects of computer use Effects bigger when supported by external IT specialists (vs. by internal IT specialists) Very significant with OLS (and careful control for other factors) Weakly significant (but supportive) with control for unobservable time invariant factors (management etc.)
3 Outsourcing Large and rapidly growing literature on outsourcing/offshoring (see Helpman 2006). Effects on employment (e.g. Falk-Wolfmayr 2008, Hsu 2011, Ohnemus 2011) productivitity (e.g. Olsen 2006, McCann 2011, Falk 2012) subjective well-being (e.g. Geishecker 2008, Böckerman-Maliranta 2012) Much less is known about IT outsourcing (e.g. Maliranta-Rouvinen-Airaksinen 2008, Ohnemus 2011, Kite 2012)
4 What IT Outsourcing Is in Real Life?
5 IT Outsourcing A process to contract-out or to sell the organization s IT assets, staff and/or activities to a service provider (Kern, Willcocks & Heck 2002) New, Big & Growing? Around since 1990s Commoditified in the 2000s Global IT outsorcing $246 bn in 2011 ( Major Suppliers (# of employees) Massive R&D on how to IBM 400,000 provide services Accenture 200,000 Tata Consultancy Ser. 174,000 Solutions databases: Solve Infosys & its subsidiaries 122,468 issues once (globally)
6 Evidence from Finnish National Accounts Labor input share of IT services (NACE.2, 62&63) in Business sector Source: National Accounts
7 Why outsource? The client firms point of view Scale/scope economies/efficiencies Lower quality-adj. costs Business vs employment contracts Higher flexibility Less hardware/software investment Lighter capital structure Why not? Long-run effects on firm s own innovativeness? Loss of control Transaction/coordination costs Induces a major organizational change Theoretical perspectives on IT outsourcing (Mahnke, Overby & Vang, 2005): (1) transaction cost economics (2) capacity-based (3) relational views.
8 Some empirical literature Few studies with mixed evidence, e.g. Ohnemus 2011 / German service & manuf. sectors -Cross-section (2004) and panel ( ) data -Consideration of endogeneity -Evidence on: * significant positive effects of IT * complementarity between IT use and IT outsourcing Kite 2012 / Indian service & manuf. sectors -Panel data Consideration of endogeneity -Evidence on: * significant positive effects of IT * outsourced IT has a larger effect than in-house IT
