Outsourcing is the delegation of tasks or jobs from internal production to an external entity (such as a subcontractor). Recently the term is being used for delegation to countries where salaries are very low in order to cut the costs. Still, most of the outsourcing that occurs today still occurs within the country boundaries. Why? Delegation to eastern countries can bring several obstacles. Finding a reliable and suitable partner is a hard task. In order to benefit from outsourcing without a huge risk you need reliable partner, company or individuals. Selection process is hard due to cultural differences such as completely different education and people's skill set. Salaries are low in undeveloped countries where the market is undeveloped and the definition of an expert is different. Last but not least, despite the new age communication technology people still must have live meetings in certain situations which may be very expensive and takes time to organize.

Buying services is necessarily considered outsourcing. Outsourcing always involves a considerable degree of co-ordination and information exchange.

Because of a high risk of organizational problems, co-ordination and communicational obstacles (time zone difference brings many), lack of business understanding in eastern contries, cultural differences, physical distance, not enough trusted and reliable partners etc. many companies will not take the risk to outsource outside the country despite the big market pressure to do more for less.

But some companies do take the risk because of the high potential. They mostly outsource the least connected to bussiness parts of the product cycle chain such as development. For small companies offshore development by freelances can cut costs but is not easy to manage and has many risks.
