Abstract

[fre] Le sujet des délocalisations s’est une nouvelle fois imposé dans le débat politique récent. Par ailleurs, il apparaît que les termes « délocalisation » et « externalisation » sont souvent utilisés, à tort, de façon interchangeable. Après avoir initialement touché les activités industrielles, ces phénomènes prennent aujourd’hui une dimension nouvelle au fur et à mesure qu’ils affectent des activités à plus forte valeur ajoutée. En raison du manque de données sur l’ampleur des phénomènes étudiés, nous utiliserons les résultats d’enquêtes réalisées par les cabinets de conseil auprès des dirigeants d’entreprises. Bien que conscient des limites de cet exercice, le présent article nous permet d’établir un panorama détaillé de ces deux processus à travers l’étude spécifique de l’industrie des services financiers. En effet, elle a été l’une des plus dynamiques au cours de la période récente. . Classification JEL : F23, G2, L23 [eng] Offshoring and outsourcing gather momentum in the European financial services . The main objective of this paper is to investigate what are the facts and implications about offshoring and outsourcing in the financial sector. Offshoring of services has received an enormous amount of attention in the political circles in recent times. Let alone its consequences, offshoring does not appear to be widely understood. Therefore, we thought it would be useful to examine this phenomenon to distinguish facts from exaggerated claims. Given the attractiveness of the phenomenon and the potential implications for competitiveness, there is a need for more analysis on the corporate strategies underlying this trend. In that way, our study will describe the offshoring phenomenon from the financial sector point of view. Although offshoring concern many industries, numerous studies have shown that offshoring and outsourcing scenes are currently dominated by financial services companies. .
