The concept is simple: bring together functions that are frequently duplicated across divisions, subsidiaries or operating units and offer these services more efficiently and at a lower cost, through a shared services centre." "Shared Services: Mining for Corporate Gold provides an understanding of what shared services really is. It outlines how to assess its viability for your organization and how to proceed with planning and implementing it. Providing in depth coverage from the initial size-up, assessing outsourcing possibilities, establishing the infrastructure and shifting the culture, it is the definitive guide to shared services."--Jacket.
