An easy-to-understand guide to this evolving business strategy

Outsourcing For Dummies provides small to midsize business owners/operators and managers with hands-on, step-by-step information on where and how outsourcing can benefit their company. Readers will discover how outsourcing fits into an organization's long-term strategies, as well as tips and advice on identifying qualified providers, helping employees make the transition, negotiating terms for scope of services and pricing, drafting a binding agreement, keeping in compliance, and more. The guide also provides examples of how some of America's most successful companies have used outsourcing to improve productivity. The bonus CD-ROM features samples of requests for proposals (RFPs), contracts, and forms and spreadsheets to track services and costs.
