Outsourcing, Offshoring and Exam Timing

Outsourcing

• Relocating a company outside of the country for better profitability.
• Example: Chloe starts a company and moves it to South Africa for better profits.
• The entire "node" (company) moves, sourcing out jobs and products.

Offshoring

• Moving a single job across international lines to another place, often to reduce labor costs.
• Example: Melanie calls a service line and someone from India answers.
• Only the job moves, not the entire company.

Key Difference

• Outsourcing: The whole company moves.
• Offshoring: Just a single job moves.

Exam Timing

• Check-in: It will be chaotic with tables divided by alphabet.
• Check-in phones and snacks, receive a ticket.
• Go into the gym.

• One hour fifteen minutes.
