摘要：The urgency and immediacy of the current financial crisis that burst into American
consciousness in the 4th quarter of 2008 has left companies around the world gasping for air. This
situation presents a need to review the meaning of sustainability in an increasingly turbulent
environment. Therefore, this article presents a review of the meaning of sustainability in an
increasingly turbulent environments, and it seeks to present a working model for evaluating the
impact of autonomous and non-autonomous elements of the value chain as they relate to,
outsourcing in accordance to corporate strategy. While there is much discussion, both academic
and practical, about the strategic advantage sought through outsourcing and, equal discussion
about the process of making the decision to outsource, little has been done to examine how best
to use the outsourcing value chain. Successful and poor outcomes of outsourced processes have
been reported. To date however, no model has been developed to improve the possibility of
surviving an economic crisis and replicating success with outsourcing. Both small and medium
sized enterprises that are engaged in outsourcing seek better utilization and better management of
the components of the value chain during turbulent economic conditions. Benefits from the
utilization of the presented model and the information contained in this document will better
assist in associated process development
