Features: When a company decides to outsource, it should recognize the complexity involved—outsourcing requires rich negotiation skills, professional expertise in relationship management, and sufficient flexibility and insight to guide when to change the outsourcing relationship. In this book, we will discuss how to select what to outsource, how to choose suppliers, and how to maintain an efficient outsourcing relationship that benefits both your organization and external suppliers. The book introduces four basic outsourcing models—activity outsourcing, service outsourcing, co-sourcing, and stakeholder relationships—by starting with the strategy and models of corporate outsourcing. Then, from a practical perspective, it explains the decision-making rules for selecting outsourcing solutions, how to analyze the environmental context, the steps for planning outsourcing, the factors to consider when selecting service suppliers, the laws that affect the operation of outsourcing, the allocation of human resources before and after outsourcing, and how to execute and monitor the outsourcing process.
