A Research On Outsourcing Risk Analysis And Control

Outsourcing is a new management model used to achieve lower costs,improve efficiency,full play to its own core competitiveness and enhance their adaptability to the environment by integrating the best external professional resources under the limitation of internal resources.It's a feature of economic globalization,and a new form of innovation network and strategic alliances,and the most,the strategic means of brewing and enhancing the core competitiveness.Adopting outsourcing, enterprise can achieve a lot of advantages,at the same time,it also face lots of risks bringing out by outsourcing.If the risks are not analyzed thoroughly,not only it can't benefit from outsourcing but also it may face an immeasurable loss.Therefore, researching on how to identify,evaluate and control risks that exist in the process of outsourcing is a very meaningful thing.Outsourcing risks may from outsourcing enterprise itself and also from the outsourcing service provider,as well as from the outsourcing contract;Outsourcing risks may from outsourcing decision-making stage,but also from the outsourcing implementation process.Among different stages,risk factors are not exactly the same.At outsourcing decision-making stage,risk factors mainly related to the limited rationality of outsourcing enterprises,the defects of outsourcing service providers,the potential outsourcing transaction dependent.At the implementation phase of outsourcing,risk factors are mainly about the moral hazard,the lost control of cost and coordination problems.At the same time,at the implementation phase of the outsourcing,different outsourcing model means different size of risks.As these risk play important role for a successful implementation of outsourcing,enterprises need to analyze these risks,evaluate the level of risk and adopting different strategies to control these risks.Based on the transaction-cost theory,the core competence theory and the principal-agent theory,considering the two-stage characteristics of outsourcing,this thesis summarize and analyze the risk factors of outsourcing decision-making stages and implementation stages,model risks of outsourcing;In addition,utilizing risk matrix to classify risk and identify the most important risk factors;at the end, propose adopting different risk control strategies by combined considering the acceptable risk level and current bearing risk level.These all have practical significance for guiding outsourcing activities.
