Abstract
Outsourcing research has flourished since the nineties and with this has come an increasing variety of theoretical perspectives that inform current outsourcing research. However, no satisfactory coherent theory is currently proposed and the selection of theoretical bases (reference theories and methods) for outsourcing research still appears to be more ad-hoc than systematic. This paper analyzes the theoretical and methodological foundations of a convenience sample of recent conference papers. The purpose of this analysis is to identify strength and weaknesses of current outsourcing research with a view of discovering fruitful directions for strengthening its theoretical foundations for future research.
