Shared Services: Mining for Corporate Gold

by Barbara Quinn, Robert Cooke, Andrew Kris

Consultants from Canada and Belgium explain how companies can bring together functions that are frequently duplicated across divisions, subsidiaries, or operating units and offer the services more efficiently and at a lower cost through a shared services center. They set out the concept, and show how to assess it's viability for a particular organization and how to plan and implement it. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
