Although the reading passage said that outsourcing has three main advantages that boost up the company both financially and economically, the speaker argues that those three advantages has no merit because it has more significant disadvantages of the outsourcing.

First, the reading passage said that outsourcing is good because it eliminates distractions so that employees are able to focus on what they mainly do, which are the marketing and sales activities. But the speaker counteracts by saying that outsourcing has a problem of communication issues. As a matter of fact that outsourcing occurs from countries to country, it brings the problem of language problem, precisely saying, translation trouble. Besides, e-mail takes a long time to receive the reply.

Secondary, the reading passage mentioned that sharing economic, market and business risks would enable the company that outsource be flexible so that they can adjust to promptly changing and demanding business environments. But the speaker argues that the share-risk has a security problem. By sharing information, it can be expected that the policy the company uniquely has would be exposed to the other company, such as pricing policy. So the confidentiality issue is predicted.

Thirdly, it is said in the reading passage that outsource is prolific because it saves cost which result from the reduction of trainee and staff and it eventually can be invested to the new-equipment purchase. But the speaker mentioned one of the disadvantages again, which is time-zone problem. Companies are all over the world, they have their own time-zone. Therefore, it is foreseen that different time zone would turn into the problem of retarding times and the money.
