Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Outsourcing is a highly controversial topic. It tends to get blamed whenever jobs move from one country to another. Despite all the bad publicity, however, outsourcing is currently a $6 trillion global industry, and within the next decade will grow appreciably as more and more organizations transform their operations to take advantage of everything outsourcing offers:
The ability to simultaneously reengineer and upgrade existing operations at the same time as offering new products and services.A genuine opportunity to create more flexible and adaptable organizational structures.The chance to leverage the skills and resources of organizations worldwide to develop and deliver better products and services.In short, outsourcing helps make companies more productive and more competitive in the global marketplace. By harnessing outsourcing intelligently, many organizations will be able to achieve a 10- to 100-fold increase in productivity and competitiveness. That is too big a potential gain to hand to your competitors by ignoring outsourcing.
“Even though about one-third of the typical executive’s budget is already outsourced, we are really just at the dawn of outsourcing. It is very likely that over the next decade or so, this one-third will climb to 70- or 80-percent - as it already has for manufacturing. This means that before too long most organizations are going to be far more outsourced than they are ‘in-sourced’. This is a fundamental restructuring of organizations that carries enormous implications for all of us - executives, managers, employees, customers and investors alike. For executives and managers, it means that the skill sets they need to do their jobs will change dramatically. No longer is it sufficient to know how to manage internal resources; managing outside relationships with outsourcing service providers is just as, if not more, important. For employees, greater outsourcing means specialist jobs are likely to migrate from current employers towards the companies that provide outsourcing services. For customers, it means the companies they are buying from are increasingly leveraging skills and resources from around the world to design, produce and deliver their products and services. This will continue to expand customer choice while driving down costs. For investors, outsourcing is spurring the formation of thousands of new businesses seeking capital to build and grow. Outsourcing makes companies more productive and competitive; it also makes them more interdependent. For all these reasons and more, outsourcing’s impact on organizations and on the overall economy is just at its beginning.”

Summary of The OutsourcingRevolution (Michael Corbett)
1. Where outsourcing is today
Traditional outsourcing focused primarily on reducing costs and improving productivity. Next-generation outsourcing will be focused instead on integrating world-class capabilities into every company’s essential and complex business processes to enhance performance. Instead of trying to improve what is, outsourcing will be used to build the future for most firms.
Historically, outsourcing was a reactive business decision. Many companies used outsourcing in the 1980s and 1990s to respond to the competitive pressures generated by globalization:
