如果一项工作是值得做的,那么它就值得自己去做,对吗?从全球数以千计的英国企业的外包活动来看,并非如此。作者对外包的过程进行了评价,揭示了在取得显著利益的同时,需要清醒地认识到与此相关的质量和安全问题。随着经济全球化进程的加快,外包活动无疑会越来越普遍。我们既有可能把自身的职能或过程外包给其他组织,也有可能承担从其他组织外包来的工作。本文作者强调了在外包过程前进行风险评估的问题,特别是信息安全的问题。这一方面提醒我们在外包过程时对此需要认真考虑,另一方面在承担其他组织特别是国外组织的外包任务时,要准备接受他们在风险评估中提出的问题,并事先做好有关的准备。——译者 If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing for itself, right? That is not the case with outsourcing activities by thousands of UK businesses around the world. The authors evaluated the process of outsourcing and revealed that while achieving significant benefits, there is a need to be clearly aware of the quality and safety issues associated with this. With the acceleration of economic globalization, outsourcing activities will undoubtedly become more and more common. We have the potential to outsource our functions or processes to other organizations as well as possibly outsource jobs from other organizations. The authors emphasize the issue of risk assessment prior to the outsourced process, in particular the issue of information security. On the one hand, we remind us that this process needs to be seriously considered in the process of outsourcing. On the other hand, we should prepare for the outsourcing tasks of other organizations, especially foreign ones, and prepare for the problems raised by them in the risk assessment. . - translator
