In business, outsourcing is "an agreement in which one company contracts-out a part of existing internal activity to another company".

It involves the contracting out of a business process (e.g. payroll processing, claims processing) and operational, and/or non-core functions (e.g. manufacturing, facility management, call center support) to another party (see also business process outsourcing).

The concept "outsourcing" came from the American Glossary 'outside resourcing' and it dates back to at least 1981.

Outsourcing sometimes, though not always, involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another.

Outsourcing is also the practice of handing over control of public services to private enterprise.

Leadership is both a research area and a practical skill encompassing the ability of an individual or organization to "lead" or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations.

Specialist literature debates various viewpoints, contrasting Eastern and Western approaches to leadership, and also (within the West) United States versus European approaches.

U.S. academic environments define leadership as "a process of social influence in which a person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task".

Leadership seen from a European and non-academic perspective encompasses a view of a leader who can be moved not only by communitarian goals but also by the search for personal power.

Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method".

However, innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs.

Such innovation takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are made available to markets, governments and society.

The term "innovation" can be defined as something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society.

Innovation is related to, but not the same as, invention, as innovation is more apt to involve the practical implementation of an invention (i.e. new/improved ability) to make a meaningful impact in the market or society, and not all innovations require an invention.

Innovation often manifests itself via the engineering process, when the problem being solved is of a technical or scientific nature.

The opposite of innovation is exnovation.

Business is the activity of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (goods and services).

Simply put, it is "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit.

It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors." The term is also often used colloquially (but not by lawyers or public officials) to refer to a company, but this article will not deal with that sense of the word.

The workforce or labour force (labor force in American English; see spelling differences) is the labour pool in employment.

It is generally used to describe those working for a single company or industry, but can also apply to a geographic region like a city, state, or country.

Within a company, its value can be labelled as its "Workforce in Place".

The workforce of a country includes both the employed and the unemployed.

The labour force participation rate, LFPR (or economic activity rate, EAR), is the ratio between the labour force and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range).

The term generally excludes the employers or management, and can imply those involved in manual labour.

It may also mean all those who are available for work.
