Abstract

(Under the direction of Michel Poitevin) Outsourcing and subcontracting often appear to be synonyms: however, the two terms overlap distinct realities. Subcontracting refers to the modalities - economic or legal - of any form of delegation. Outsourcing refers to a business strategy and differs from outsourcing in that it has an essential managerial dimension: it involves not only the sale of a production activity as such, but also everything that motivates the decision to transfer responsibility for producing a good or providing a service to an external supplier. In other words, outsourcing includes a reflection on the desirability of outsourcing. Does a company have to divest itself of part of its production? How much business should it transfer to the subcontractor? How can it optimize the choice of its partners? What types of contracts should it sign? These questions delineate the specific domain of outsourcing because, depending on the answers provided, a manager will or will not outsource the product or service for which he or she is responsible. The texts presented in this book approach outsourcing from a dual management and economic perspective and shed new light on the phenomenon by presenting the theoretical arguments underlying outsourcing and illustrating these arguments with case studies. This monograph is available from Universe Book Distribution 845 Marie-Victorin Street Saint-Nicholas, Que., G0S 3L0 Telephone: (418) 831-7474 or 1-800-859-7474 Fax: (418) 831-4021 (Sous la direction de Michel Poitevin) Impartition et sous-traitance apparaissent souvent comme des synonymes : pourtant, les deux termes recoupent des réalités distinctes. La sous-traitance renvoie aux modalités - économiques ou légales - de toute forme de délégation. L'impartition désigne une stratégie d'entreprise et se distingue de la sous-traitance en ce qu'elle comporte une dimension managériale essentielle : elle touche non seulement à la cession d'une activité de production comme telle, mais aussi à tout ce qui motive la décision de céder à un fournisseur externe la responsabilité de produire un bien ou de fournir un service. En d'autres termes, l'impartition intègre une réflexion sur l'opportunité de la sous-traitance. Une entreprise doit-elle se délester d'une part de sa production? Quel volume d'activités doit-elle céder au sous-traitant? Comment peut-elle optimiser le choix de ses partenaires? Quels types de contrats doit-elle signer? Ces questions délimitent le domaine propre à l'impartition car, selon les réponses qu'il leur apportera, un gestionnaire sous-traitera ou non le produit ou le service dont il est responsable. Les textes présentés dans cet ouvrage abordent l'impartition dans une double perspective de gestion et d'économique et jettent un nouvel éclairage sur le phénomène en présentant les arguments théoriques sous-jacents à l'impartition et en illustrant ces arguments par des études de cas.
