A practical decision framework for sourcing product development services
The document presents a master's thesis by Janne M. Korhonen that develops a practical decision framework for sourcing product development services, addressing the lack of established management toolkits in this area. It emphasizes the importance of trust and interpersonal relationships in outsourcing, outlines three strategies for firms, and provides checklists to support decision-making. An industry survey of 60 respondents revealed that Finnish NPD outsourcing practices align with broader European trends.
