As a result of greater information standardization and simplified coordination, clear administrative demarcations emerge along a value chain (Jacobides & Winter, 2005). This study focuses on the factors that influence adoption of outsourcing by manufacturing companies that are listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange and aims at establishing the effects of outsourcing t...
