Abstract

The following qualitative research aims at analysing dependent outsourcing and the creation of dependent self-employment in three industries in the UK, Italy and Austria. It does not aim at representativity but it will illustrate the logic of dependent outsourcing by looking at the mechanisms governing this special form of labour relations. Our main aim is to empirically demonstrate horizontal disintegration, the blurring of firm boundaries by mixing hierarchical and market elements in one distinct form of governance, namely dependent outsourcing. Moreover, we analyse how dependency is created and which role trust and power have in such business relations.
