Critical Thinking
An organization can improve the resilience and profitability of its business model by implementing
outsourcing and offshore efforts. However, there are drawbacks to these attempts.
Today’s economy is dynamic, highly unpredictable, and competitive, and many businesses are looking
for answers. As supply chain management advances and the gap between what businesses would like to
accomplish and what they can accomplish internally widens, businesses start to see that doing the right
thing is more exciting than doing everything. As a result, they are outsourcing and offshore tasks that are
distant from their core businesses, which helps them become more specialized and focused. Businesses
frequently choose to contract out this function entirely or in part to agents or outside logistics
companies.
Answer the following questions using the offshoring and outsourcing concepts by using any Saudi local
business or multinational corporation.
