History
Outsourcing can be traced back to the 18th century and the principles of the division of labor and specialization championed by Adam Smith. Workers should focus their position according to their own specializations in order to be effective and efficient.
Online outsourcing and its subcategories follow the same principles of outsourcing that Smith highlighted. Through outsourcing a company can relieve itself of secondary tasks and concentrate on core issues, thus improving its efficiency. “Do what you can do best – Outsource the rest.“
Online outsourcing has its origins in the United States of America (USA), where it has been an established practice since the mid-1990s. In Europe, the model has found success since the development of the Internet in early 2000.
