Abstract:

In this paper an attempt has been made to find how outsourcing of activities influences agility of organisations. After reviewing the literature, a conceptual model has been proposed, which indicates the relationships between the two subjects. Based on the proposed model, a questionnaire has been designed and utilised in Kurdistan Tractor Manufacturing Company. Correlation analysis has been conducted and the results reveal that the variables of outsourcing, i.e., cost effectiveness, downsizing, focus on main activities, and job specialisations have direct influence on organisational agility. The findings support the proposed model.
