Why outsource, isn't that un-American?
by Mike Gonsalves, StrategicFusion

Hardly! Outsourcing is as American as Mom and Apple Pie! A lot of people believe that outsourcing is the problem with America's economy today. For the most part they equate outsourcing with sending jobs overseas (off-shoring). The fact is that outsourcing started long ago when production lines where first formed to manufacture everything from nails for building to autos for driving.

Yes, outsourcing has gotten very sophisticated over the last decade or so. Yes, we are competing on a global scale for jobs, especially in certain sectors. But the fact remains that small businesses can help themselves grow and thrive by outsourcing tasks that are:

1. Difficult to master quickly
2. Better done by someone at a lower overall (more efficient) pay scale

For example, you can do your taxes yourself, or you can hire an accountant. I don't hire an accountant to add the numbers up for me on a form (Turbo Tax can do that just fine). I hire an accountant to make sure the numbers are in the right boxes, that's outsourcing. It would take me months (or years) to gain even the slightest competitive advantage on my accountant, so I rely on him and his firm to do the best job possible.

In another example, when you are thinking about moving your business, are you going to go to a commercial realtor an expert on getting the best deals in the market or are you going to wing it on your own? Wing it and the odds are strong that your new space will cost you more than if you had used a professional.
