Outsourcing
• The practice subcontracting manufacturing work to outside and especially foreign or nonunion companies.
• Since the 1990’s outsourcing has become a standard business tactic in today’s American organizations.
• Outsourcing typically takes place when a company decides that it can progress its overall efficiency by giving a third-party service supplier responsibility for certain progress within the company.
Outsourcing Continue

• When an organization turns towards outsourcing they are looking to contract out their work that needs to be done to a company who can produce the goods or services more efficiently.

labor with young Asians working in “sweatshops”

Nike Reacted with a campaign focusing on their corporate policy
• New Labor Codes• Press Releases to the
Publications• Personal Letters from
the executives• Campus Visits to
Colleges

attention to what is taking place overseas
• The advantages can be great• Outsourcing is a corporate trend that
is not going away
