Content: Pro 2: Outsourcing can increase economic efficiency. Sometimes companies outsource because of the opportunity costs of doing or producing a good or service themselves. For example, a CEO of a tech startup might outsource HR because she feels her time would be better spent meeting with venture capitalistsand getting her tech team up to speed than with managing employee benefits. When highly skilled people can outsource lower-value tasks and spend more time at high-value tasks, businesses tend to benefit. Proponents of outsourcing say that it can also increase overall efficiency in the economy by distributing tasks to people who have the appropriate skill level for those tasks and letting highly skilled workers be more productive. Pro 3: Outsourcing can distribute jobs from developed countries to developing countries. Some defenders of outsourcing say it’s true that outsourcing to foreign countries (and offshoring) results in the loss of some U.S. jobs but that less-developed nations benefit and that those benefits outweigh the costs to rich countries like the United States. Americans might object to this, they say, but outsourcing can lead to higher wages and more job opportunities in the developing countries to which U.S. firms outsource.
