Document Summary
Cathay pacific questions: evaluate the progress cathay pacific has made on outsourcing their it activities. Cathay pacific"s it outsourcing makes perfect sense because land in australia is cheaper than in hong kong, all employees got a free resident visas, and it labor costs were cheaper. I would advice cathay to re-open service to china because the it services have vastly improved since the first time cathay was launched in china. Outsourcing to china today is a possibility, but they"re a lot of risks along with it. Such as, cathay needs to manage its strategic smartsourcing alliance partners as well as the whole process more carefully before they make any commitments. Plus, it"s a huge risk to the whole corporation if cathay outsources its entire it operation to someone outside of the corporation.
