About the course

Outsourcing can mean many things but the simplest explanation is that outsourcing is asking another company to do a job or perform a service that your company could do, but for some reason, chooses not to do. The main driver for outsourcing is normally cost; to decrease the cost of production of goods or decrease the cost of providing a service.

Outsourcing helps you to discover the real benefits and problems of outsourcing, and helps you decide if it will work for you.
