Answer to Question #182862 in Management for Shaun

Question

Outsourcing is a good way for an organisation to concentrate on core activities, whilst freeing up time by getting third party firms to conduct tasks or activities on behalf of the firm. 

 Briefly discuss this concept of outsourcing. 

Answer 1

During outsourcing, the service provider organizes for its employees to provide the service. To efficiently outsource tasks, a company centers on the business partnership since outsourcing focuses on managing relationships compared to service-level agreements. Securing and maintaining a reliable relationship is important in outsourcing efforts and is more difficult compared to founding relationships and service levels. Therefore more emphasis is usually on the exit section of a service agreement.
