Summary/Abstract: The paper includes the recapitulation and critical analysis of the results of a pilot study of IT outsourcing management processes in selected industrial enterprises operating in Poland. Development of IT sourcing models in the context of ongoing globalization and technological progress is a challenge for both practice and theory. The publication concerns the principles and practices associated with the acquisition of IT resources and the management of IT sourcing in Poland ‒ a country poorly represented in the literature. Little research has been conducted on the strategic rationale behind IT sourcing decisions, the resulting challenges and the potential or actual consequences of such decisions. The article tries to identify the most problematic and critical factors for effective cooperation with suppliers of IT services. The results were analyzed on the basis of the broad empirical outsourcing literature.
