    <title language="eng">The current state of IS offshoring in Germany</title>
    <abstract language="eng">This paper empirically examines the current state of the IS offshoring phenomenon in Germany regarding project characteristics and success patterns. Relying on a sample of 304 projects conducted at various industry sectors and companies, results show that IS offshoring primarily occurs in sectors Telecommunications and IT at large corporations. Cost reduction is the main reason for going offshore and offshore projects are executed as part of a larger program at companies. Noticeably, most projects are delivered from India. Additionally, neither captive offshoring nor offshore outsourcing dominates as a de-livery option. Comparing different project subgroups regarding project success, the results reveal that projects delivered by an internal or partially owned service provider are more successful. Other project characteristics such as a project’s embedded-ness in a larger offshoring program, a project’s size, or a project’s offshoring degree in terms of relatively offshored labor hours show few significant differences. The paper addresses the paucity of empirical research on the current state of the IS offshoring phenomenon in Germany.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Evaluation criteria for selecting offshoring candidates</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The  identification  of  suitable  applications  or  projects  is  a  main  initial  step  in  any  software  development  or maintenance  related  IS  offshoring  arrangement.  This  paper  examines  evaluation  criteria  and  their  importance  for  selecting application  or  project  candidates  for  offshoring.  Based  on  a  literature  analysis  and  interviews  with  47  experts  from  36 different German companies describing 64 case examples, we find that in contrast to the literature, “size”, “codification”, and “language”  are  perceived  as  important  selection  criteria  by  experts.  Case  examples  additionally  show  that  “business specificity”  seems  to  be  a  main  reason  for  application  or  project  failures,  that  “business  criticality”  appears  to  be  less important  than  suggested  by  the  literature,  and  that  adequate “size” might be a necessary prerequisite, but seems not to be a sufficient criterion for an application’s or project’s suitability for offshoring. These differences in comparison to findings from the literature may be explained by cultural and language differences.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Enhancing students’ IS offshoring capabilities</title>
    <abstract language="eng">An appreciation of globalisation issues by information systems (IS) graduates is a growing requirement of organisations with global reach. This paper discusses the planning of a joint course to be delivered online and face to face by two lecturers representing two tertiary institutes in Germany and New Zealand respectively. The IS offshoring content of the course is relatively unique and aspects of globalisation will be demonstrated through the dual country delivery of the course. The two lecturers involved have spent time lecturing and studying in their global partner’s country and tertiary institutes and so this joint delivery method is likely to also strengthen cultural ties between the two participating institutions including the students involved. Further research goals and issues are discussed for post-delivery of this dual country blended course. This paper provides a basis for this concept to be evaluated in further research.</abstract>
