Abstract: Few corporate practises have awakened so much recent interest as outsourcing. Seen as the carrying out of a process or activity by an external company or organisation, when this process was traditionally undertaken within the heart of the company, it is not known how far it can be used to determine the limits of the company and, the final aim of this article, the repercussion of its use from the perspective of corporate results analysis. In this way, it appears indispensable to study the internal capabilities of the organisations, in particular their flexibility and the knowledge management that they carry out, understanding that these variables act as moderators when it comes to determining the true effects of outsourcing on the determination of results
