Book excerpt: This book provides executives with the necessary questions to approach outsourcing and insourcing decisions. Technological evolution brought about new ways to approach productive processes. Outsourcing or Insourcing is a question of convenience in the short and long-term. By understanding the nature of outsourcing and by having the necessary questions you will be able to build the natural complementation with third parties to increase productivity and quality. But insourcing is a natural alternative for certain business problems. The adequate mix of both outsourcing and insourcing alternatives will provide the adequate answer to your business problems. This book provides the description of the nature of the outsourcing and insourcing processes. This book is a support for executives that are familiar with the unicist approach to business strategy, and delivers the necessary questions and conceptual information to define the "blending" of outsourcing / insourcing decisions. It includes the unicist ontology of Outsourcing and Insourcing Processes and the questions needed to manage such processes. The implicit recommendation is to define to "outsource" when it is convenient and to "insource" when it is necessary. But when outsourcing has been decided it is necessary to make a deep reflection to define which type of outsourcing should be done. This book will help you consider the benefits, the risks and the costs implicit in each type of outsourcing.
