| Abstract: | The outsourcing decision considers the issue of whether an organization should perform certain activities internally or purchase these services from third parties. One of the key issues in outsourcing is the potential for cost reduction. This paper suggests the use of total cost of ownership analysis as an excellent approach for understanding the true cost implications of the outsourcing decision, rather than focusing on price. The traditional abbreviation for the total cost of ownership used here is TCO. |
