The two big drivers of outsourcing are Select one: A. that a smaller in-house workforce and a low investment in intellectual capital will produce cost savings. B. a desire to reduce the company's investment in fixed assets and the need to narrow the scope of the company's in-house competencies and competitive capabilities. C. an increased ability to cut R&D expenses and an increased ability to avoid the problems of strategic alliances. D. that outsiders can often perform certain activities better or more cheaply, and outsourcing allows a firm to focus its entire energies on those activities that are at the center of its expertise (its core competencies). E. the ability to avoid capital investments that accompany vertical integration and a desire to reduce the company's risk exposure to changing technology and/or changing buyer preferences.
