Customer Reviews

Outsourcing - the way to go. Great help, excellent resource.

The complete Idiot's Guide to Successful Outsourcing has been an excellent resource guide for our business. We tapped into some very useful strategies with the help of this book which were never considered or thought about by us, before using this book. This is a very good resource guide as our business was not even sure if outsourcing was the way to go and it has helped us to formalize our business decisions. With the size of our company, we were concerned logistically how would we carry out the outsourcing and with these helpful tips we are now successfully on the path of outsourcing. Most importantly were are now going to reap the benefits from outsourcing in the form of tremendous cost savings. In my opinion, this book is the best choice not only for companies currently considering to outsource their work but also for those businesses who are not considering to outsource, in order to make them aware the potential benefits that they may be missing out.

Informative and helpful

This book provides a great resource for a business owner who is being introduced to outsourcing, who is weighing the decision of whether to outsource, or who is trying to implement a successful strategy for their company. Overall it is a great source of information and guidance for business owners.

This is a new concept that many companies can benefit from. I recommend this book because it provides a simple way to learn about Outsourcing

I loved this book

I totally disagree with the below reviews. There are lots of good books on outsourcing available, but this one was a great way for me to get introduced to the topic. Now that I've received this initial education I'm ready to read and learn more. I walked away from this book knowing alot more about the pros and cons of outsourcing then before.

very helpful

I'm really new to outsourcing. Many of the outsourcing books are written for people that already have experience doing this. I particularly liked this book because it assumes the reader knows nothing about this topic. I like the easy to understand approach the author took.
