Background: Studies of foreign literature on IT outsourcing indicate the variety of topics covered in the research. The comparison of these studies with the research published in Poland indicates a disproportion of the number and quality of research, and points to a gap in knowledge about IT outsourcing in Poland.

Research aim: The aim of the research would be to know the state of research on IT outsourcing in Poland.

Method: The method of literature study in relation to the results of studies on IT outsourcing in Polish enterprises was used, as well as with regard to some of the results in other countries and the methods of analysis and synthesis in relation to the comparison of Polish research in other countries. The reviews of published literature (Lacity, Gonzalez) were presented.

Results: The contents of dozens of publications on Polish and foreign IT outsourcing were analysed, and compared. The result of the paper is a recommendation to do research comparable to US and Spanish studies. So in the consequence of the future research it would be possible to make recommendations for users and providers of this rapidly growing service.
