Abstract
The ongoing process of globalization drives the offshoring trend of IT-development and services in Sweden as well as in other industrialized countries. In contrast to the industrial companies that lead the trend, Swedish banks are extremely restrictive in this sense. In comparison to the US banking business, this is considered atypical behavior. In this paper we present the results of an investigation stemming from interviews of the four largest Swedish banks and their main reasons not to offshore IT services.
