2. Why do you think outsourcing has increased over the years and whether you think the
trend will continue?

There is a lot of reason why outsourcing has increased over the years and I think it will continue
because it helps a company to minimize their cost. In some of the countries, wages of an
employee or hiring in-house talents will cost a lot for the companies. So, when they outsource to
a company in different regions or companies where the service charges are low, they can save a
lot of money. Outsourcing gives access to a talented pool of teams which you don’t have to
manage personally. This eliminates the burden of training them to achieve your desired results.
Also, team management is a time-consuming process whereas outsourcing gives you more time
for yourself to work on core competencies. If business critically needs skilled personnel but
don’t have enough resources or time to hire in-house talents, outsourcing is the best option.
