Outsourcing/Offshoring - Bethlehem, , Palestinian Territory Occupied
As companies are looking for ways to reduce the vulnerability that comes with the more dramatic fluctuations in global economy, it is almost becoming a business imperative to maintain high levels of agility, business flexibility and organizational ability to be innovative and exploration.In this environment, outsourcing is no longer seen as a concept that can help companies to maintain current non-core activities and make these more efficient. Instead, the main driver of outsourcing is to innovate and develop better processes with increased focus on core competencies and market differentiation.The nature of outsourcing relationships and contracts is polarizing as well. On the one hand, relationships are changing to enable more long-lasting and strategic partnerships. On the other hand, some outsourcing relationships are becoming more episodic and consumption-based.In more sophisticated arrangements, Facility Management providers play a greater role in fulfilling the strategic objectives of their customers, with contracts serving as a framework for the relationship. In more consumption-based contracts, client organizations will only pay for what is used.
