Australia is a country with a historically strong and stable economy. This economic strength is what has allowed Australian business to withstand the challenges posed by marketplace change as well as been key in the adaptation to and leveraging of opportunities made available by this modern business phenomenon. Traditionally, a field occupied by large multinational corporations, size is no longer a prohibitive factor for Australian companies looking to gain competitive advantage through the use of offshore outsourcing all or part of their business.
The Australian economy is internationally recognized as both accepting of and readily able to use offshore outsourcing to its economic advantage whilst innovating in a way that creates new business and local jobs. The 10 case studies listed below are examples of Australian owned companies that were all recognized at the 53rd Australian Export Awards National Finalists (2015) for the successful use of offshore outsourcing within their own businesses. These examples are all available on the AusTrade website:
