Public sector outsourcing: A modified decision model
Article Abstract:
The objective of public sector outsourcing is to move the government entity toward a more optimal use of its limited resources and, thereby, improve its effectiveness. The discussion on how information and its usage of constrained resources may be integrated into a traditional activity-based costing (ABC) system to allow administrators to better assess the economic consequences of their outsourcing decisions is presented.
