Briefl y describe the diff erences between off shoring and outsourcing.

What will be an ideal response?


Off shoring is the relocation of an entire business operation, such as manufacturing, to another country. Often, this is done to take advantage of lower costs (labor, materials, facilities, etc.) or more “business-friendly” regulation. The operation, though in another country, remains part of the company. Outsourcing is the transfer of a business operation outside of the company. For example, many colleges will outsource their information technology (IT) infrastructure operations to an outside fi rm. This can increase effi ciency and reduce cost.
