1. Instructions
Procurement Outsourcing (PO) Strategies:
PO strategies at the highest level involve either materials or
traditional business processes such as HR, IT, Finance,
Accounting, Travel/Entertainment services,
Marketing/Print/Advertising, or Customer Relationship
Management (CRM). Your task here is to choose a public
business organization and report on what direct materials are
being outsourced. Direct materials are categorized as strategic
(high-impact), bottleneck items (low-profit impact and high-
supply risk), leverage items (high-profit items and low-supply
risk), or non-critical (low-profit impact and low-supply risk).
Describe the outsource process in detail, who provided the
outsourced services, and what direct materials were involved.
You are to prepare a PowerPoint presentation, with a minimum
of twelve (12) slides, to include inline citations, a cover slide,
and a slide of references. Your citations and references should
be APA-compliant.
