- Abstract
- Outsourcing has become a common place in today’s businesses and organizations are progressively outsourcing some of their operations in order to focus on the core ones, making outsourcing one of the essential procedures in efficient supply chain management. However, the impact of outsourcing on organizational production performance in manufacturing firms is still underexplored in literature and underestimated in the business world in Zimbabwe. The study’s main objective was to investigate the impact of outsourcing on organization’s production performance in manufacturing firms in Zimbabwe, in a case study of Delta Beverages. To achieve this, the study had four specific objectives, namely: To identify services outsourced by manufacturing industries in Zimbabwe, to find out the drivers of outsourcing in manufacturing industries, to explore the challenges associated with outsourcing in manufacturing industries and to assess the relationship between outsourcing and production performance in manufacturing industries. The researcher employed a mixed (pragmatic) method and a descriptive case study research design to achieve all of these goals.
