Outsourcing In a Week

Outsourcing is a growing trend in businesses of all sizes. Organisations are increasingly seeing the value of allowing other companies to carry out non core activities leaving the core to concentrate on what it's good at.

Outsourcing in a week covers a range of key issues that any SME owner or manager would need to consider before making the step to outsourcing, including how to handle the tendering process, contractual concerns and staff considerations. The book's main message is that outsourcing is not just a one-off arrangement, but an ongoing project that needs to be maintained and built upon.
