CEVAP:

Outsourcing refers to the contracting out of activities that otherwise would be conducted within a company. There are two types of outsourcing: outsourcing primary activities and outsourcing support activities. Outsourcing primary activities have to be organized for preserving a high level of operational integration because its main attractiveness has been the prospect of minimizing stock. Outsourcing support activities, such as accounting, IT, and HR, does not require such finely adjusted integration with primary activities.
