Abstract: Companies seeking new ways to cut structural cost and to increase their competitive edge in the market will outsource activities. The result of this is that outsourcing has contributed to an increase in the strategic impact of purchasing departements. This article builds on the reasoning that the outsourcing process belongs to the purchasing departments themselves. Two fundamental questions are asked: What purchases should be covered by outsourcing? Which activities, internal to the purchasing process itself, should be outsourced?

Keywords: outsourcing; purchasing process; transaction costs; agency theory; industrial marketing. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
