Sourcing practices and boundaries of the firm in the financial services industry
We investigate sourcing decisions related to the back-office operations of 108 processes used by financial services companies. Guided by the arguments of transaction cost economics and the resource-based and knowledge-based view of organizations, we hypothesize that service customization and volume represent two key drivers of a service company's sourcing decisions. The inherent uncertainty of service customization gives rise to the transaction cost risks of opportunism and holdups and thus favors insourcing. Moreover, the competency gained from performing high-volume back-office operations aligns with the tenets of the resource-based view, which also favors insourcing. The empirical results corroborate these theoretical expectations..Printed journal
