The aim of this literature review is to analyze the current situation of the offshoring industry and relate the offshoring practices into Sri Lankan context to identify the loopholes. Thereby this review identifies the challenges and opportunities for the expansion of offshoring industry in general and specific to Sri Lanka as a destination. Based on the review of 120 offshoring articles, this study extracts the insights for practice based on popular offshoring frameworks. Mainly three key major models were identified including Chile offshore services value chain, key provider evaluation criterion and A. T Kearney Global Services Location Index.
