Results
Discussion and Conclusion
Rational and Approach
IT outsourcing - widely accepted management practice
Effective management of IT outsourcing is a challenge
Wide variety of research resulting in greater knowledge production
Useful in understanding the common facts
Rational and Approach
Does not reveal the hidden structures and properties
Lacks Social Network Analysis and Triple Helix Perspective
Investigate IT outsourcing knowledge infrastructure from a network point of view
Scientometrics analysis – knowledge and insights about the quantitative features of IT outsourcing
Rational and Approach - Research Questions
What are the network structures of collaboration among institutions, country and region for IT outsourcing knowledge production?
What is the status of academia-industry-government relationships in the network of IT outsourcing knowledge production? and
Who are the key players (i.e. institutions, countries and regions) contributing to the network of IT outsourcing knowledge production?
Social Network Analysis
Helps in revealing hidden structures & characteristics
Key players & their collaboration of networks are investigated
SNA techniques are based on graph theory
For analysis & visualization NetDraw 2.117, UCINT and NetMiner 3.3.0 softwares are used
Triple Helix Analysis
Investigates the bilateral and trilateral relationship among University-Industry-Government (UIG)
A triple helix regime typically begins as university, industry and government enter into a reciprocal relationship in which each attempts to enhance the performance of others (Etzkowitz 2007)

Triple Helix Analysis
Authors' affiliated institutions are categories as “university” (U), “industry” (I), and “government” (G).
The collaboration among UIG is measured by mutual information (i.e. transmission T) derived from the Shannon’s formulas (1948)
The transmission (T) are measured in “mbits” of information
TH indicators were calculated using the mutual information derived through T values using a TH software available at http://www.leydesdorff.net/th2/index.htm.
