Section 2: Continue Writing Final Paper (5–7 pages)

Drawing upon the insights you have gained from this 2-week unit’s learning activities and your own academic research, apply your insight to your chosen organization. Referring to the “how to” link (http://www.brighthubpm.com/methods-strategies/76008-looking-for-gaps-walking-through-a-sample-analysis/), conduct a gap analysis as part of the process employed in determining what the organization is missing in building capacity and agility internally.

As you write Section 2 of your Final Paper, consider the variables that influence organizational capacity, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing, alliances, and partnerships in building organizational agility and capacity. As you evaluate potential models of partnerships and alliances for your chosen organization, note the variables that impact and influence them (e.g., size, culture, or mission). Acknowledge other models HR professionals use in assessing different types of business partnerships and evaluating opportunities to create organizational leverage.

Note: You do not have to submit Section 2 of your Final Paper to your Instructor in Week 3. Rather, it will become part of your final compiled paper that you will submit by Day 7 of Week 7.

Instructions

As a manager of an organization, you will often need to find ways to cut costs. One way to cut costs is to outsource by hiring another organization to perform the service. Consider the scenario below.

As a manager for the public outreach department, you realize that the current system for managing outreach issues is outdated. You would like to have a new outreach system developed using the Cloudera platform to help manage big data. However, no one in the organization has the expertise. You will have to outsource the project to save on costs and avoid management problems. Two companies have sent in a bid—one from Vancouver, Canada, and one from Mumbai, India. The bid from India was slightly lower than the bid from Canada. Compose a response that includes the elements listed below.

• Define what is meant by outsourcing.
• Explain how Peter Drucker’s statement (covered in the textbook in uCertify) about how one company’s back room is another company’s front room pertains to outsourcing. Use an example.
• Summarize the management advantages, cost reduction, and risk reduction of outsourcing.
• Summarize the outsourcing risks concerning control, long-term costs, and exit strategy.
• Discuss which company you would outsource to and why. Does distance matter?

Your case study must be at least two pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages), and you must use at least two references as a source for your essay. See the Suggested Reading section for some sample articles on outsourcing. Be sure to cite all sources used in APA format, and format your essay in APA style.
