美國會計專業留學生essay寫作指導-Principles of Managerial Accounting

 

One of the most common decisions managers have to make is the Make-or-Buy decision. Managers must often decide whether to make a product / perform a service function inside the company or to buy it from a suppler / outsource it to a contractor. The following excerpts provide two examples of outsourcing that the Pfizer Company undertook since 2007:

 

(1) “Pfizer saved 4,000 of its managers 66,500 hours of work by enabling them to outsource their tedious, time-consuming tasks to companies in India. With the click of a mouse the managers go to a website called PfizerWorks to prepare online work orders for services such as Powerpoint slide preparation, spreadsheet preparation, or basic market research. The requests are sent overseas and completed by a services-outsourcing firm.” 

 

(2) “Pfizer says it plans to outsource much more of its manufacturing to Asian countries, mainly India and China, to cut costs. The company is also planning to expand its R&D investment in China, India, Japan, and South Korea…[P]fizer opened a research center in Shanghai in 2005 and announced plans earlier this year to invest $300 million in R&D in South Korea over the next five years.” 

 

Required: 

Research and write about the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing for corporations in general. Clearly, companies see cost advantages to outsourcing, so your write-up should focus more on managerial, strategic, and competitive aspects of outsourcing.

一個管理者必須做出最常見的決定是自制或購買決策。管理者必須經常決定是否做一個產品/公司內部執行的服務功能或從suppler買/外包給承包商。下面摘錄外包提供了輝瑞公司承諾自2007年以來的兩個例子：

 

（ 1 ） “輝瑞挽救了4000名其管理者為66,500小時的工作，使他們能夠自己繁瑣，耗時的任務外包給印度公司。用鼠標點擊的經理去一個叫PfizerWorks網站的服務，如PowerPoint幻燈片的準備，試算表的準備，或基本的市場調研準備工作的網上訂單。該請求由一個服務外包公司海外發送和完成“ 。

 

（ 2 ） “輝瑞公司表示，它計劃外包更多的制造業向亞洲國家，主要是印度和中國，以降低成本。該公司還計劃擴大其研發在中國，印度，日本和韓國的研發投入... [P]費澤爾開了一家研發中心在上海于2005年，并宣布計劃今年早些時候在韓國投資3億美元在研發過未來五年。 “

 

要求：

研究和編寫關于外包的公司，一般的優點和缺點。顯然，企業看到成本優勢外包，所以你寫起來應該更專注于外包管理，戰略和競爭方面的問題。#p#分頁標題#e#
