Companies use outsourcing to cut labor costs, including salaries for their personnel,
overhead, equipment, and technology.
Outsourcing is also used by companies to dial down and focus on the core aspects of the
business, spinning off the less critical operations to outside organizations.
On the downside, communication between the company and outside providers can be
hard, and security threats can amp up when multiple parties can access sensitive data.
Some companies will outsource as a way to move things around on the balance sheet.
Outsourcing employees, such as with 1099 contract workers, can benefit the company
when it comes to paying taxes.
Important:
Companies use outsourcing to cut labor costs and business expenses, but also to enable them to
focus on the core aspects of the business.
Outsourcing Business Models
Project Improvements
When challenges arise or clients request a change to a project, each process may require
improvement or updates.
Improving results” implies that results are actually measured; therefore, process
improvement projects are focused on improving key metrics of the business.
● Service improvements
change to an organization designed to increase customer satisfaction. This is a process of
engaging the customer to learn where you are earning the customer's trust and where you are
failing. Failures are an opportunity for improvement.
Technology Infusion
The other advantage of having improved technology is to make things more affordable
and cheaper for people. It is through technology improvement that people realize cost efficiency
currently. On the other hand, there has increase in machinery costing low price and we can’t
imagine.
Outsourcing is difficult to implement, and the failure rate of outsourcing relationships remains
high. Depending on whom you ask, it can be anywhere from 40 to 70 percent. At the heart of the
problem is the inherent conflict of interest in any outsourcing arrangement. The client seeks
better service, often at lower costs, than it would get doing the work itself. The vendor, however,
wants to make a profit. That tension must be managed closely to ensure a successful outcome for
both client and vendor.
Another cause of outsourcing failure is the rush to outsource in the absence of a good business
case. Outsourcing pursued as a “quick fix” cost-cutting maneuver rather than an investment
designed to enhance capabilities, expand globally, increase agility and profitability, or bolster
competitive advantage is more likely to disappoint.
Generally speaking, risks increase as the boundaries between client and vendor responsibilities
blur and the scope of responsibilities expands. Whatever the type of outsourcing, the relationship
will succeed only if both the vendor and the client achieve expected benefits.
Organizations vs. institutions
Conclusion
The primary objective of an organization is to maintain the internal order of the organization
along with the effectiveness in the achievement of desired ends. Despite that, when it comes to
the institution, it goes beyond the goals of the organization.
Institution vs Organization
• Institution is bigger and deeper concept than an organization
• Institutions guide human behavior while organizations are formed to achieve special goals and
purposes
• Marriage, democracy, colleges, and churches are examples of institutions while charities,
companies, businesses etc. are examples of organizations
• Institutions have a bigger role to play in social lives in comparison to organizations
