The trend taking place in the twenty-first century is scale down, tighten up and implement alternative operational strategies that will render the same amount of output with less financial output. One of the ways in which organizational change is occurring stems not from conventional internal operations but rather by way of the fast-growing trend toward remote organizational control: outsourcing.

than fifty layoffs. This narrow consideration completely ignores small companies at a time when "growing numbers of venture-capital firms are insisting that the early-stage companies they invest in outsource
