Abstract

Abstract The outsourcing services in the sphere of armed forces could be introduced as a dynamic management strategy. The aim of this strategy is to relocate the non-functional activities to external contractors, mainly for a long period of time, in order to realise savings, increase the specialisation and improve the quality of the delivered services. The ultimate goal is to provide additional resources and time to implement the core specific activities of the organisation. The efficiency of the outsourcing process is directly related to the ability of the military unit to carefully select which activities and services to outsource. This article analyses the possibilities for increasing the efficiency of outsourcing services in the structures of the Bulgarian Armed Forces.
