Abstract

Outsourcing is an important part of business strategy and a common practice in both private and public organisations. A growing number of organisations are now outsourcing activities that used to be carried out in-house. The differences lie in the type of activities that each organisation intends to outsource, the motivations for the outsourcing decision and the way in which it is implemented. Through successful outsourcing, companies expect to gain as many benefits as possible. However, they need to consider that such a process, despite the significant benefits, may also carry potential risks. This study attempts to analyse the strategy of outsourcing a firm's activities to external partners, based on the existing literature on the subject. The aim of the paper is to highlight the advantages that a public organisation can gain by outsourcing non-critical activities to private companies, but also the numerous problems and legal restrictions that exist in such partnerships. More specifically, the first chapter of the study presents the main definitions of the institution, its evolution and the most common forms it can take. Then, the motivations for adopting an outsourcing strategy, the expected benefits of this venture and the potential risks associated with it are listed. Between the intention to adopt outsourcing and its final implementation, there are a number of processes and factors that need to be taken into account in order to make it successful. Finally, in the third chapter, a case study of outsourcing part of the production process of the 700 Military Factory and a cost-benefit comparison is presented in order to highlight the dimensions of outsourcing implementation in practice.
