Backsourcing is Just a Tool

The objective of this research as stated earlier was to investigate and assess whether backsourcing is just a tool that is adopted by companies today to correct the implication of unsuccessful outsourcing deals or if there are other underlying motivations behind the new approach.

Customer satisfaction and service quality are both also reflected upon to contextualize requirements of the changing times, and the adaptability of these two- inexplicably interconnect pillars of business performance. Quality and customer satisfaction are implicitly linked together in this paper in different sections – they remain linked by their respective definitions upfront.
