Resumen:
Successfully managing the risks of information technology projects continues to be a central problem for
organizations regardless of whether the project is outsourced or not. While a plethora of studies has examined
the effects of risks on performance, majority fail to distinguish the sourcing characteristics of the projects
investigated. Furthermore, little is known about the joint effects of strategic importance and the risk on system
performance across internal and outsourced projects. Based on data collected from 77 internal projects and 51
outsourced projects, we find that social subsystem and project management risks are negatively associated
with system performance in both internal and outsourced projects. However, technical subsystem risk
negatively affects performance only in internal projects. While social subsystem risk exerts greater influence on
system performance in outsourced projects than in internal projects, the technical subsystem risk has greater
effect on performance in internal than that in outsourced projects. Moreover, the effect of project management
risk is not different in both types of projects. In addition, strategic importance moderates the relationship
between risks and performance. The negative impact of risks on performance is greater in projects that are
more strategic. Strategies are proposed to reduce the complexity and potential conflicts inherent to strategic
projects because these characteristics may amplify a risk's impact.
