What is another word for externalisation?
Pronunciation: [ɛkstˌɜːnəla͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Externalisation is a term used to describe the process of transferring certain services or operations of a company to an external service provider. Some of the synonyms for externalisation include outsourcing, offshoring, subcontracting, delegation, contracting out, and partnering. Outsourcing is often used to refer to the transfer of work to a third party to save on costs and improve efficiency. Offshoring, on the other hand, involves moving operations to a foreign country to access cheaper labor and other resources. Subcontracting refers to the practice of hiring another company to perform part of the work delegated by a customer. Although externalisation can have several benefits for businesses, it is often criticized for causing job losses and reducing accountability.
