Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa vilken betydelse kontraktsformulering och val av kontraktstyp har för ett outsourcinginitiativs framgång utifrån ett kundperspektiv.Teori: Studiens teoretiska referenser består av agentteorin, transaktionskostnadsteorin, teorin om ofullständiga kontrakt samt en omfattande litteraturgenomgång om kontrakt. Agentteorin behandlar hur det mest effektiva kontraktet bör utformas mellan två parter. I transaktionskostnadsteorin diskuteras de omständigheter och kostnader som uppstår då en aktivitet avslutas hos en part och påbörjas hos en annan. Teorin om ofullständiga kontrakt förklarar svårigheten med att kontraktsmässigt behandla framtida oförutsägbara händelser, och genom litteraturgenomgången framkom fem kontraktstyper samt fem faktorer vilka ansågs ha en avgörande betydelse för kontraktsformulering.Metod: En surveyundersökning i form av ett webbformulär utfördes. Urvalet bestod av de 125 företag som ingår i börslistan small cap.
