Many businesses are looking for answers in the fiercely competitive, wildly unpredictable, and dynamic climate of today. As supply chain management grows more complex and the gap between what businesses want to do and what they can do internally widens, businesses start to understand that doing the right thing is more exciting than doing everything. As a result, by outsourcing and offshoring tasks that are unrelated to their main business, companies become sharper and more specialized.
