| Summary: | Today outsourcing is a widely-used method for companies to face the problem of a more and more competitive business world. Especially offshore outsourcing to a distant country, where the labour costs are comparatively low, is quite popular in the media. Nevertheless, a lot of companies fail in accomplishing the high gains they hoped for. One reason for this is the miscalculation of the effects of outsourcing on the company which leads to a wrong behaviour of the management during the outsourcing process. Hence, a better understanding of the impact of outsourcing is crucial for the success of a company. To improve this, one way is to analyse the planning environment and the resulting planning method of a company before and after outsourcing.
