Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outsourcing refers to the practice of using outside vendors to produce goods or fulfill services and functions that were previously handled in-house or in-country. The Internet has made it easier to outsource work to other countries where labor costs are lower, which is known as offshoring. Nearshoring refers to outsourcing to nearby countries, often with similar time zones and cultural backgrounds. Partnered is not a term related to outsourcing.
