Abstract
Outsourcing and offshoring provide companies with ways to achieve their business objectives better or more cost effectively or despite a shortage of specific resources. From a research point of view, outsourcing and offshoring have mostly been studied as something that large companies do, not small and medium enterprises (SMEs). However, the business rationale for outsourcing and offshoring appears to be at least as compelling for SMEs as they are for large companies. NOT-12-02
