Summary
The basic problem for companies during the global financial crisis is to maintain
financial liquidity. The high fluctuation of market conditions forces the companies
to conform to such changes that will ensure continuity of their business. One way
to look for savings in companies is the outsourcing mechanism, which means separating
in whole or in part certain tasks, functions and processes that are necessary
for proper functioning of a company, but are not a part of its core business activity.
This solution aids at reducing operating costs, imposes a more effective control
mechanism as well as presents a possibility to focus on the core business activity.
This paper presents a definitional approach towards outsourcing, indicates potential
areas of outsourcing usage, marks benefits and risks associated with separating
certain areas and transferring them to an outside company. Furthermore, it includes
an analysis of outsourcing market in Poland in 2012.
