Add to ORKGThe paper examines whether market competition fosters outsourcing. We analyze the situation wherein a manufacturer decides between in-house production and outsourcing, when faced with cost uncertainty and competition with a rival manufacturer in a differentiated goods market. We show that the intensity of competition does not affect the choice between in-house production and outsourcing. The result suggests that irrespective of the intensity of competition, the manufacturer should decide on outsourcing if the degree of the cost efficiency of outsourcing exceeds certain thresholds.
