Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outsourcing involves finding another organization to provide products or services that were previously created in-house. It does not necessarily always "export" jobs, is not limited to contracting out a complete service, and does not divert the firm from its core business. While outsourcing can be part of a larger supply chain management strategy, it is not specifically focused on influencing demand for products.
