You need to JUSTIFY your decision for the business process outsourced (e.g., accounting, editorial, photography, publishing, distribution, printing, layout, advertising, editing, articles, etc.); and For the service that you intend to outsource: Establish the preliminary performance targets / level of service that will be required from the selected vendors; Establish the type of contract that you will use for each contract (i.e., fixed, cost-plus, reimbursable, unit); Determine the evaluation criteria you will use to select the preferred vendor(s) (e.g., low price, best value, etc.). [Are there different evaluation criteria for different business units? Why?]; Identify the number of vendors that you will select to provide the services to be outsourced (i.e., one vendor for all services versus individual vendors with specific expertise in each of the services to be outsourced); and Construct a timeline that summarizes the bid activities and time duration for each contracting process (i.e., plan purchases and acquisition through select sellers).
ALL FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE!
Case Study 3 will analyze a business process outsourcing scenario from a purely financial perspective. This case study will include items such as the cost to investigate the outsourcing to the cost of who will outsource in both the savings and fees. The paper will cover how the contracting process protects both the buyer and seller and what needs to be included in the contract to accomplish this.
The length of the paper should be 5 to 8 pages.
