Benefits and Risks of Outsourcing the Global Supply Chain
QSO-321
Globalization has the most successful effects which resulted in many
achievers to get the results that they wanted and take their companies to
new heights. The most common and most used company these days is Ali
Baba. This product is a website and it was a page when it was started and
was creating logistic handling on their local level. But slowly, their
demands and their logistics exceeded the supply chain and they had to
outsource their logistics support for their operations to local companies and
use their platform to complete their operations. This made a huge impact on
their sales and they had a successful business plan for outsourcing the
operations in logistics as they approached the client for business they had to
bring in shipment companies with respective countries instead of their own.
That idea is still being used in different ecommerce as well as they are
relying on different local logistic companies to do their jobs easily. This
created a huge impact on their sales and also this was done for the business
and it added value to the business where it stands now. Link for the website
is given in the references as per instructions.
Ali baba has another outsourcing that they did in the making of their
website on the backend of their website. This outsourcing occurred when
they went short on the development team for their own website due to the
local internet restrictions, they had to face this issue of not getting the local
party for the development. So, they hired a US based firm to complete their
backend and show their competitors what Ali Baba is made of.
