Explanation

Outsourcing occurs when an organization uses external resources to perform business processes and tasks. Outsourcing usually involves hiring outside companies to perform business functions or tasks such as payroll, information technology, security, janitorial services, and so on. Outsourcing project team members, for example, by bringing in consultants to help with the work, can alter the make-up of the team. You should watch for team cohesiveness when there are outside members and make certain to nip conflicts before they arise.
