Sourcing World is a work of significant value to businesses from all sectors which are considering their outsourcing options. 

This first edition of Sourcing World will be of great assistance to corporations and their advisers, providing valuable insights and guidance to the local legal requirements and to local and global commercial best practices.

Written by outsourcing experts, every chapter gives a detailed overview of the legal and regulatory framework within each national jurisdiction and of the terms and conditions relevant to finalising an outsourcing deal. In addition, this is one of the first works to cover not only legal and regulatory issues but also in a structured manner to identify commercial practices on key negotiation items, such as benchmarking and remedies.
