Abstract
While outsourcing part of the company’s manufacturing can appear attractive owing to reduced assets and headcount, many firms continue to be disappointed with their outsourcing experience. In this chapter, we identify the underlying causes of outsourcing failures and discuss ways to avoid these underlying causes. Specifically, we use real examples to describe eight different outsourcing-related risks and ways to avoid or mitigate them so as to improve the chances of outsourcing success.
