Outsourcing

Hi,

Please have a look at this:

Outsource where possible.

Simplifying your operations should include a review to determine what might be outsourced. You can focus your mind on this if you consider what differentiates you from your competitors. Those things are valuable and should be kept in house. You can consider everything else candidates for outsourcing that will make your costs variable and may also take advantage of economies of scale not possible in house.

I find this paragragh so difficult to understand, especially I don't understand what 'those things' here are +_+

Please shed some light on this.

Many thanks,

Nessie.
