Critical Thinking
In today’s highly competitive, extremely variable, and dynamic environment, many firms are
seeking solutions. Supply chain management becomes more sophisticated and the difference
between what firms want to achieve and what they can do in-house continues to grow, firms begin
to realize that doing the right thing becomes more interesting than doing everything. Accordingly,
they become better focused and more specialized by outsourcing and offshoring activities that are
far from their core businesses. In many cases, firms decide to outsource this function in whole or in
part to agents or third-party logistics firms.
