The fifth annual Black Book survey for Brown-Wilson Group's "50 Best-Managed Global Outsourcing Vendors" was distributed electronically to customers, employees, buyers, contractors and users world-wide and available at www.theblackbookofoutsourcing.com . In March, surveys were sent to the nearly 24,000 outsourcing decision makers who were verified in the previous surveys, followed by 357,000 additional invitations sent to individuals in corporations, businesses, organizations and government agencies who use, offer and are employed in outsourcing services or pre-registered for the survey on the Black Book website.
