As it is well known, within the organizations there are different processes that are developed in different areas of the companies in order to achieve their objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The changes that organizations go through are factors that also determine whether or not they achieve their objectives, as well as the resources they use to carry out each of their activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In current times, globalization has made organizations look for their survival through the search for new markets, cost reduction and competitiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SMEs and why not large companies have sought new methods to help them achieve their objectives, making use of the tools at their disposal. Some companies need to focus their attention on the processes that are most important, that is, they invest more resources in the areas they consider most relevant for the development of the organization. This results in some of the areas with little attention being handed over to external agents to take care of the activities in those areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the other hand, companies seek to reduce costs and increase the competitiveness levels of some of their processes by looking for external professional personnel to facilitate the execution of the activities and, being agents from outside the organization, the costs generated are lower than those that can be obtained by using internal resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This technique that allows the entry of external personnel to the organizations to perform the tasks that the company should perform is called \"outsourcing\".<\/span><\/p>\n

Definition.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The outsourcing has different definitions are the authors, these can be the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outsourcing: is the incorporation to the organization of the competencies that this one has not selected as priority or main, making use of other companies to perform them (Business School, 2002).<\/span><\/p>\n

Other definitions are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outsourcing: process by which organizations contract or subcontract all or part of the processes in the production or, in some cases, administrative areas, which were previously performed by the company (Uribe-Echeverria & Rubert Adelantado, 2001).<\/span><\/p>\n

Outsourcing: economic process in which an organization takes the resources destined to the realization of certain activities and entrusts them to a specialized external company which is in charge of carrying them out (Mart\u00ednez G\u00f3mez, 2012).<\/span><\/p>\n

Outsourcing is a technique that companies use so that other companies carry out activities that are considered \"less\" important within the organization, so that the company that hires the services can focus on using its resources in priority activities and at the same time reduce the costs generated by performing these activities using the organization's own resources.<\/span><\/p>\n
