Outsourcing is a business strategy used by companies to reduce their cost of production.
It can be defined as the business strategy where firms hire someone from outside the firm for a work, or a good that otherwise would incur higher cost if done within the firm.
In outsourcing, both goods as well as services can be obtained from outside the firm.
It is a term that refers to the idea that Western people had a duty to civilize so-called “inferior” or nonwhite cultures. It was used to justify the European imperialism during the late nineteenth century.
