Advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing

The question about the right proportion between outsourced activities and activities performed within the company is not only a question concerning industrial companies. Today companies in the field of services should consider more profoundly the question which of their activities is vital for the competitive progress of the company and for that reason should be kept within the company resources and which activities may be outsourced.

Crucial issue for the decision which activities should be outsourced is to what extend that will benefit managers by ensuring them more free time and thus allow them to concentrate to their basic responsibilities.
