The Make-or-Buy Sourcing Decision

Background: According to Sharda (2015), the first question regarding information systems (IS) in the Sourcing Decision Cycle Framework relates to the decision to make (insource) or buy (outsource) them. So, sourcing does not really just involve only one decision. It involves many decisions. Consequently, managers decide whether to make or buy information services and products.
