Scope of the study
The objective of this project is to study the evolution of the offshoring practice over time in order to better understand its benefits, risks, and strategic impact for companies, as well large as SMEs (download the project’s brochure).
The study is interested in both Belgian companies and Belgian subsidiaries of multinationals, be they currently offshoring, considering starting offshoring, or not planning to offshore in the near future.
