Critical Thinking
In today’s highly competitive, highly unpredictable, and dynamic environment, many organizations
are searching for solutions. Businesses begin to realize that doing the right thing is more thrilling
than doing everything as supply chain management becomes more complicated and the gap between
what they want to do and what they can achieve internally widens. As a result, businesses become
more specialized and sharper by outsourcing and offshoring jobs that are not relevant to their core
business. Companies usually decide to hire agents or outside logistics firms to do this task entirely
or in part.
Answer the following questions by mentioning any Saudi company, whether domestic or foreign,
that uses the ideas of outsourcing and offshore.
