Outsourcing of Supply Chain Processes: Evaluating the Impact of Congruence between Outsourcing Drivers and Competitive Priorities on Performance

DEDICATION I would be leaving out too many people if I were to dedicate this dissertation to anyone in particular. Instead, I want to dedicate this work to everyone that encouraged me to take this journey and to those who supported me over the past four years. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A tremendous number of people have provided me with guidance and assistance throughout my time as a doctoral student. I especially thank the staff, faculty, and my fellow students at Georgia Tech's College of Management for all of their assistance over the years.
