Here’s a more detailed explanation:

• Core vs. Non-Core Activities:

  Companies often outsource non-core activities, such as customer service, IT support, or manufacturing, to free up internal resources and focus on their main business functions.

• Access to Expertise:

  Outsourcing can provide access to specialized skills and expertise that a company may not have internally, like in areas like IT or research and development. 

   
• Increased Efficiency and Flexibility:

  Outsourcing can improve efficiency and productivity by leveraging the expertise and resources of external providers. It can also provide greater flexibility to scale resources up or down as needed.
