• Offshoring and the global distribution of work: Implications for task interdependence theory and practice (2009, background): “Following the transmittal of codified information, both sending and receiving actors need to interact frequently and intensely to achieve a common understanding of work requirements (Bechky, 2003; Boland, 1991, Carlile, 2004; Ngwenyama & Lee, 1997; Vlaar, van Fenema, & Tiwari, 2008 ).”
