In the case study it is mentioned that the Holden Outwear did not want to outsource because they want to do it by their own, but when the organization grows they will not able to do all by themselves, so they need to outsource it. The outsourcing is a big problem to the Holden Outwear, because when they hire new employees they need to share all details, including their designs and strategies.
