Abstract
The linkages between outsourcing and innovation are complex. Some findings suggest that outsourcing is a way to generate increased levels of innovation. However, some recommendations extracted from the IT outsourcing literature do not seem to favor innovation through outsourcing arrangements. By understanding the different types of innovation and combining this knowledge with the IT outsourcing body of knowledge, it is possible to conjecture the potential effect of outsourcing on innovation in various circumstances.
