PING: Relational OutsourcingURL: http://www.inhouseblog.com/inhouseblog/2005/12/relational_outs.htmlIP: 66.151.149.17BLOG NAME: InhouseBlog – News for Inhouse CounselDATE: 12/02/2005 04:06:29 AMDennis F. Penepacker of Chicago’s Meyer Brown Rowe Maw LLP has written an article on relational outsourcing – and the intimate relationship that is created when in-house employees are replaced by a firm which handles its business with its own
Outsourcing of business operations is a growing trend in the U.S. In-house employees are replaced by a firm which handles the business using its own staff. Such agreements, writes Dennis F. Penepacker of Chicago’s Meyer Brown Rowe & Maw LLP, require the closest kind of relationships between the parties. He argues that neither the command-and-control mechanisms of in-house operations nor the arms’-length contacts typical of ordinary supplier contracts are appropriate.
