organization. Applying outsourcing has been one of the characteristics of organizations from
1990 onward. According to the view of many managers of the organizations who have got
through outsourcing, its implementation results in reduction of costs, focusing on key
(central) competencies and increasing of assets (Enarsson, 2008).
We can discuss about outsourcing from various social, economical, professional aspects and
the like but lack of written studies and subjects in this field is felt clearly.
1.1.Importance and objectives of research
This article is important in terms of:
1.1.1.Although outsourcing is performed in the technical and vocational training centers in
Iran and in the Chaharmahal Bakhtriary province but not any written study or survey has
been done so far in such field in this province, so we have studied it in this survey.
1.1.2.By proposing of privatization in the country (especially in the technico-vocational
educations) it is possible and suitable to consider outsourcing as a practice for privatization.
This survey tried to study the current situation of outsourcing "in the form of granting
management of educational units and centers to nongovernmental sectors" with a scientific
approach along with considering government's purposes in downsizing of governmental
organizations and to activate private sectors for recognizing strength and weakness points of
outsourcing based on experiences of other countries. It is hoped that future decisions related
to outsourcing in the technical and vocational training organization would be resulted in
better realization of the organization's objectives along article 44 of constitutional law
through enjoying of its results.
2.Review of related literature
The term outsourcing has different definitions from various viewpoints like other scientific
subjects and has traversed its evolutionary path like many other management concepts.
Traditionally, managers intended to secure all of their working tasks inside of the
organizational borders. Organizations have gradually learned that they can rely on external
suppliers in securing of some of their tasks. Developing of outsourcing culture has been
resulted in granting of problematic activities to the outside of the organization. Nowadays
organizations have focused on their main capability and have resorted to outsourcing of
activities which don't support the competitive position of the organization (Rahnavard, 2007).
In other words the concept based on which a part of tasks of a company is transferred from
inside to the outside and is performed by others recalls outsourcing. In the past outsourcing
occurred when organizations weren't able to perform well, were weak in competition, had
reduction of capacity, were faced with financial problems, were underdeveloped or failed in
terms of technology. While, today those organizations that are totally successful use this tool
in order to renew the structure of their organization. Today managers of such organizations
have perceived outsourcing as vital subject that establishes key capabilities for satisfaction
of customer's (addressee) needs, therefore, necessary attempts must be done in
implementation of such tools (Cheshmberah & Mortazavi, 2008).
