Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Film/Article reviewpeer-review

Abstract

For decades, Erran Carmel has published on the topic of global sourcing and offshoring information technology. In his most recent book, I'm Working While They're Sleeping: Do We Need to Work in Different Time Zones? co‐authored with Alberto Espinosa, Carmel focuses on how to bridge time zone differences. The relevance of this topic is indisputable in an increasingly globalized world. This book can be recommended for both practitioners and academics. It illustrates in detail how to make outsourcing work when faced with client‐vendor relationships that span significant time zone differences.
