Explanation:

Outsourcing is a business approach in which companies take their activities to different countries, rather than increasing their scale in the area where their headquarters are trying to reduce costs or meet regulations. This activity affects workers in the original country but is primarily a benefit to the countries in which companies start new operations.

Advances in software deployment, telecommunications and computers have improved outsourcing as it allows for the decentralization of information regardless of where organizations are involved and needs fewer qualified staff because most of the operations are conducted with the use of computers rather than employee expertise.
