Software Outsourcing Partnership (SOP) is considered as a type of risk and reward sharing relationship between a client organisation, in the developed countries, and its overseas vendor organisation. Regardless of numerous benefits, the development of SOP still remnants in its infancy stage due to several interactive barriers. Some studies have been conducted to examine the barriers to SOP formation. However, no attempt has been reported so far to explore the multifaceted interrelationships amongst them. To bridge the gap, this study implements Interpretive Structural Model (ISM) approach to reconnoitre the interrelationships amongst the barriers in the context of SOP formation. The objective of this research paper is to develop a framework for modelling structural association amongst the barriers. To achieve the objective, we used a hybrid methodology based on systematic literature review (SLR), empirical survey, and ISM. Firstly, via SLR study, we identified 27 barriers to SOP formation. Secondly, to empirically explore the interrelationships amongst the identified barriers, a questionnaire survey was performed with 50 experts from a total of 20 different countries. Further, interrelationships amongst the barriers were identified using ISM via panel review, and their classifications were carried out via Cross‐Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to the Classification Approach.

软件外包伙伴关系形成障碍之间的结构关联建模框架：一种解释性结构建模方法

软件外包合作（SOP）被认为是发达国家的客户组织与其海外供应商组织之间的一种风险和回报共享关系。尽管有许多好处，但由于一些交互障碍，SOP 的发展仍处于起步阶段。已经进行了一些研究来检查 SOP 形成的障碍。然而，到目前为止，还没有报道尝试探索它们之间的多方面相互关系。为了弥补这一差距，本研究采用解释性结构模型 (ISM) 方法来重新审视 SOP 形成背景下障碍之间的相互关系。本研究论文的目的是开发一个框架来模拟障碍之间的结构关联。为了实现目标，我们使用了基于系统文献综述 (SLR)、实证调查和 ISM 的混合方法。首先，通过 SLR 研究，我们确定了 SOP 形成的 27 个障碍。其次，为了实证探索已识别障碍之间的相互关系，对来自 20 个不同国家的 50 位专家进行了问卷调查。此外，通过小组审查使用 ISM 确定了障碍之间的相互关系，并通过应用于分类方法的交叉影响矩阵乘法进行了分类。对来自总共 20 个不同国家的 50 名专家进行了问卷调查。此外，通过小组审查使用 ISM 确定了障碍之间的相互关系，并通过应用于分类方法的交叉影响矩阵乘法进行了分类。对来自总共 20 个不同国家的 50 名专家进行了问卷调查。此外，通过小组审查使用 ISM 确定了障碍之间的相互关系，并通过应用于分类方法的交叉影响矩阵乘法进行了分类。
