Hello, in part 2B, would a SFA analysis be ok when answering?
SFA can be useful, but given the amount of financial information made available, I think some sort of quantitative analysis is indicated as well.
Are there other factors other than the complexity and strategic importance of the department that affect a company’s decision whether to outsource or automate a given function?
Cost? Reliability? Control? Politics eg pressure not to outsource abroad, flexibility, commercial confidentiality.
