Offshoring Research Network

The Offshoring Research Network is an international network of researchers and practitioners, launched in 2004 by Duke University professor Arie Y. Lewin and managed through Dukes Center for International Business Education and Research at the Fuqua School of Business. It studies how organizations shift business functions, processes and administrative services abroad, conducting annual surveys of global sourcing strategies, drivers and implementation plans across industries, drawing on more than 3,000 participants from service providers worldwide and client firms mainly in the United States and Western Europe.
