    <title language="eng">Do researchers investigate what practitioners deem relevant?</title>
    <abstract language="eng">There is a common understanding amongst academics that information systems (IS) research sometimes has limited relevance for practitioners. This can be explained by the fact that research lags behind the fast moving IS environment, has limited practical applicability and is hard to access. We have focused on the research area of IS backsourcing, and analyzed practitioner literature to increase our understanding of topics of interest for practitioners, to determine a potential gap between academic and practitioner literature, and to identify future research directions in this field. We observed that most publications are either news or background articles, focusing on describing backsourcing cases. Additionally, we identified four recurring themes, namely reasons for backsourcing, presentation of survey results, discussion of industry trends, and backsourcing success stories. The main reasons identified to trigger backsourcing decisions are cost savings, quality improvements, and increasing control and flexibility. By comparing our findings with academic literature on IS backsourcing, we conclude that generally both literature types cover similar topics. However, researchers have a more formulative or interpretive focus than the often descriptive practitioner literature. Academic literature also examines a broader range of topics, while practitioner literature has a narrower focus. Additionally, we observe one difference regarding applied terminology: while researchers employ the term backsourcing, practitioners mostly use back in-house or insourcing. Our paper contributes to facilitating the exchange between academics and practitioners, presents topics to consider when aiming to increase practical relevance and provides researchers with concrete directions for future research within the field of IS backsourcing.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Information Systems Backsourcing</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Information  systems  backsourcing describes  the transferof  previously  outsourced  activities,  assets,  or  personnel back to the originating companyto  regain  ownership  and  control.  While  there  is much  research on  information  systems outsourcing,  the topic  of  backsourcing information  systemsis  still  an  emerging  research  area. Therefore,  ourpaper aims to explore and synthesizethe existing literature  on information  systemsbacksourcing,  since  there  is  no  exhaustiveliteraturereview  of  the  state  of  the  research to  our  knowledge available yet. In  this  paper,  wecreate a  framework  to  structure  the existing  research  along  the overallbacksourcing  process.  We identifydifferent  motivators, such  asexpectation  gaps, orinternal  and  external  organizational  changes, leading  towards  a  backsourcing  decision,  and  factors  positively  or  negatively influencing  this  decision.  Additionally,  we  derive  implementation  success  factors based  on  the  existing  literature to  guide companies  through  the  backsourcing  process.We  also  differentiate  the  term  backsourcing  from  related,  sometimes synonymously  used  terms,  by  emphasizing  the  change  of  ownership  back  to  the  company  of  originas the main  criterion.Additionally, we discuss opportunities for future research in the field of information systems backsourcing.</abstract>
