The continuous search for efficiency gains and the goal of attaining a sustainable competitive advantage have steadily increased the volume of goods and services procured globally from third party vendors. In this context, named as "the next wave of globalization", the offshoring phenomenon has stimulated research and political debates.

Also, it is increasingly complex transactions, requiring a higher degree of qualification, which are becoming subject to offshoring as well. |
