Questionnaire on case studies on public private partnership outsourcing and outward foreign direct investment
Answers
Public private partnership is carried with any of two or both primary objectives in mind, viz. ease in raising capital and bringing in domain expertise or management for a project.
In India, this is being done and planned in sectors where there is a need to shore up output in order to meet the basic needs of a growing economy.
A classic example would be in the power sector, both in production of electric power and also in its transmission and distribution.
Some Companies get some of their work done outside of its organisation, sometimes in the country where it is based and at other times in a foreign Country, at a cheaper rate, but not compromising on the laid down standards.
In business parlance, this is called outsourcing.
Outward FDI is investment by a Country's business groups overseas in carrying out economic activities away from the shores of the country of origin of the capital thus deployed.
