Decide what you want to outsource and how.

Defining a global strategy requires deciding which activities or processes are suitable for offshoring, how—through subsidiaries or outsourcing—and where. Study the complexity or simplicity of your processes and services, and the interdependencies between them, to identity the most outsourceable.

You should also take into consideration issues such as whether these processes require some sort of presence or physical proximity, or specific company expertise. You will need to review this analysis from time to time, since studies show that these situations are changeable.
