What are two primary reasons why organizations outsource?

A) strategic and transactional focus
B) access to specialized expertise and advanced technology
C) access to specialized expertise and ability to service remote locations
D) organizational politics and restructuring

Organizations outsource primarily to access specialized expertise that they may not possess in-house and to gain access to advanced technology that may be cost-prohibitive to acquire and maintain internally.

Option A is partially correct as organizations may also outsource for strategic reasons, such as focusing on their core competencies while outsourcing non-core activities.

Option C is also partially correct as organizations may outsource to access specialized expertise and to service remote locations, but the latter is not typically a primary reason for outsourcing.

Option D is not a valid reason for outsourcing.
