Abstract

Rapidly or slowly, globally or locally, outsourcing has already penetrated all sectors of business and value chains. Outsourcing has been one of the most commonly used management practices during the last decade, and the outsourcing business continues to grow and expand significantly across all value chains. However, we believe that there is still no true consensus as to the understanding of outsourcing and its implications. More precisely, there is confusion as to outsourcing contracts in general and their legal nature in particular. Therefore, we believe that it is best to begin a handbook on logistics contracts with a review of outsourcing terminology and outsourcing contracts prior to dealing with logistics outsourcing contracts.
