Theories of Outsourcing
Theory of Core Competencies
Organizations focus only on internalizing those components critical to the product or service in which the organization has distinctive competency, and outsourcing components that are peripheral to the organization. Outsourcing is then used to reap cost savings from suppliers with clear comparative advantages. Such savings can then be redeployed towards competence more central to the core skills and abilities of the organization.

Resource-based Theory
Outsourcing is a strategic decision which can be used to fill gaps in the firm’s resources and capabilities. Strategic resources are valuable, rare, non-substitutable, inimitable and manageable. All organizations find themselves dependent on some elements in their external environment.
