The article argues that the outsourcing is very beneficial in several aspects. However, in the lecture, the professor opposes to this opinion. He said about different aspects to each advantages which is suggested in the reading passage. First, the reading passage shows one merit of outsourcing by mentioning that some companies are able to eliminate distractions and force themselves to stay focused on their core business. In contrast, the lecturer told that the companies can not focus on their core work and it is easy for the owners to lose control. The company should make the communication between them and the venders transparent but it is not easy because, telephone and even e-mail are not appropriate means for communication. Therefore, there is not any matter to make the communication transparent and convenient. Also, the lecturer casts doubts about sharing risks. Although the reading passage assert that outsourcing will be helpful with sharing a company's various dangers with their outsourcers, the speaker maintain that many companies are threaten by the danger of exposing their business secrets by the venders. Because they are supporters of their competitor as well as their company, there always exist those kind of risks. Last of all, according to the lecture, there will be a bad effect involving thier workers. In the reading, the writer said that outsourcing will save money by reducing full-time and temporary staff and training them. However the professor completely rebuts this idea by telling that some workers will loose their job and it will make other remaining workers loose respect for the company and they will be less motivated. Finally, it will leads to the lower productivity. |
