The Limits of Service Operations Outsourcing from the Resource-based View: Empirical Evidence in the Hotel Sector
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this work is to examine, from the resource-based view of the firm, the relationship between the propensity to outsource hotel services and outsourcing’s capacity for being a source of competitive advantage. The work also analyzes the strategic risks that restrict the use of service outsourcing. The results enable services to be classified according to their capacity for being a source of competitive advantage. They also confirm that services forming part of the core competencies, that is, those that are valuable, rare, and non-substitutable and that allow rents to be appropriated, are outsourced less than those that do not meet those conditions as given by Barney (1991). They show that the main drawbacks or risks limiting outsourcing are basically related to the loss of control and autonomy and distrust of suppliers, rather than its possible influence on loss of competitive advantage.
