Abstract (Swedish)
Förtroende inom outsourcing har granskats av flera forskare under de senaste decennierna. Den här uppsatsen ger en förståelse av faktorer som påverkar förtroende i en outsourcing relation, samt ger en praktisk insikt i hur det ömsesidiga förtroendet mellan kund och leverantör kan förbättras. Det empiriska materialet består av djupintervjuer med experter från olika branscher. Forskningen utgör värdefull kunskap för ledare och specialister som antingen ska applicera en outsourcingstrategi eller redan samarbetar med etablerade outsourcing team, oavsett den befintliga graden av förtroende eller engagemang mellan parterna.

Fenomen zaufania i outsourcingu był przedmiotem badań na przestrzeni ostatnich dziesięcioleci. Niniejsza praca magisterska ma na celu zbadać czynniki wpływające na zaufanie w relacji outsourcingowej oraz przedstawić działania prowadzące do poprawy wzajemnego zaufania pomiędzy klientem a dostawcą usługi. Na materiał empiryczny składają się długie, dogłębne wywiady z ekspertami z różnych branż. Analiza i wyniki naszego badania mogą stanowić źródło wiedzy dla managerów i specjalistów zarówno dopiero wprowadzających strategię outsourcingu jak i współpracujących z zewnętrznymi dostawcami usług lub klientami, niezależnie od aktualnego stopnia zaufania i zaangażowania stron.
