Abstract

Traditionally companies focus on their core competencies when talking about efficiency and increase in performance. To achieve a certain aid of performance and make resources and knowledge available companies turn to outsourcing in traditional form and to strategic knowledge outsourcing. Can the support services / non-core activities be a successful driver of innovation through outsourcing? This paper is trying to show that the outsourcing of non-core activities can be a driver and alternative towards innovation and competitive advantage that can make a difference in the today's complex globalized markets.
