The contract criticality is greater if the outsourcing aim is made of highly strategic activities, functions, or processes and if the real aim is not the cost saving but the sharing of added value resources, skills, and knowledge.

In particular the remarks proposed concern the role of the contract as a tool to face the risk and manage the relationship.展开更多
