‘Defining Core’ chapter sets
process in motion
RALEIGH, NC, January 7, 2005 —To outsource or not to outsource? This is the question on the minds of most company leaders today. Now, it is easier to discover the answer with the release of a sample chapter from Logistics and Manufacturing Outsourcing: Harness Your Core Competencies, an upcoming book from Tompkins Press.
Learn how to determine whether you should outsource and which activities are best suited for outsourcing, as well as understand how to make outsourcing a core competency within your organization. A major trend these days is for companies to focus on their core competencies and to outsource all other activities. But because the majority of organizations do not have the competency of outsourcing as a core competency, they experience setbacks, losses and sometimes even complete failure. More time and energy tends to be spent on handling the outsourcing relationship—not the company’s core activities—and this is the exact opposite of why they outsourced in the beginning. The only way to overcome this outsourcing paradox is to create a core competency of outsourcing.
Today’s economic climate makes it virtually impossible not to outsource, but this activity can be dangerous if it is done at the cost of customer satisfaction or company stability. In Logistics and Manufacturing Outsourcing's chapter on “Defining Core,” you can begin the journey to outsourcing with a robust process that will help your company succeed and grow. For a copy of the sample chapter, go to News/Media resources at www.tompkinsinc.com, and be sure to look for the release of Logistics and Manufacturing Outsourcing book in spring of 2005.
