{"product_id":"logistics-outsourcing-von-vadims-kolmogorovs","title":"Logistics Outsourcing","description":"\u003cp\u003eRevision with unchanged content. In recent years the strategy of concentrating on core competencies of com­pa­nies led to a vertical disintegration of processes along the value chain. Prac­ti­cal experience shows that companies focusing on their core competencies in first turn outsource logistics operations within their supply chain to external ser­vice providers. A fundamental question to ask in this work is whether out­sour­cing is really value enhancing and, in particular, whether the firm that un­dertakes outsourcing becomes more efficient as a result.  It will be shown that in an attempt to increase efficiency by reducing ex­pen­ses and turning fixed costs into variable costs, companies pursue re­struc­tu­ring procedures that include outsourcing of non-core activities to specialists ha­ving a lower cost base due to better economies of scale and scope.   Anyone who wants to outsource a function, or who wants to know more about how outsourcing works, can find within this book a discussion of se­lec­ted issues that may arise during this process, putting the main emphasis on the planning stage as it is considered to be the critical factor in a successful out­sourcing project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783639398397\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA way to increase efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783639398397","offer_id":39484057256029,"sku":"9783639398397","price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/94422e14-1465-4f36-9828-3c34d2819ac8.jpg?v=1775886525","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/logistics-outsourcing-von-vadims-kolmogorovs","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
