Your goal in this assignment is to research FIVE (3) companies who are outsourcing at least part of their operations. You should research companies that are outsourcing DIFFERENT parts of their business (1.e. only ONE company in your assignment can outsource manufacturing). Report on the details of the outsourcing (eg. what exactly is made overseas? When are customers being directed to a call center? Etc), two benefits of the outsourced activities, two risks of outsourcing those activities, and whether you believe outsourcing is the night decision for the company with your reason). Note: You will be tempted to report the same benefits and risks for the different companies. While it's true that "saving money might be a benefit for all of the companies in your report, you'll get full credit in your report for framing those benefits as being specific to the needs of the company. FOR EXAMPLE: Instead of saying "outsourcing customer service saves money" you could say hiring labourers at a call centre in India cuts spending on wages which would be more expensive in Canada" Feel free to use a chart like the following. Company Outsourced Task/Activity/Process Details (what Two Two exactly is Benefits Risks outsourced, and to where/what company) Is this a good use of outsourcing? Why/why not?
