This paper draws on a survey of European companies to differentiate between alternative modes of international outsourcing as possible determinants of market, cost and knowledge-related aspects of the competitiveness of firms. The authors find that internalized modes are often superior to outside options and using existing subsidiaries tends to be more (cost) effective than undertaking new greenfield foreign direct investment.
