The Economics of Outsourcing: Meeting Demand in the Gig Economy
Two factors in particular will determine the economics of IT outsourcing in the coming years. First, there is a supply of more independent or freelance workers in the rising gig economy. Second, businesses are experiencing a growing demand for disruptive technological advances.
