Abstract- This paper seeks to explore the benefits gained from the outsourcing strategy
implemented by industrial companies in Jordan in terms of cost reduction, focus on core
competencies, access to specialized resources, quality improvement, and the perceived
benefits. This was achieved by testing hypotheses based on the main objectives of the study.
The population of the study consisted of all of the manufacturing companies located at the
Sahab industrial estate, Jordan, while the respondents are made up of those who occupy
managerial positions in the aforementioned companies. A survey questionnaire was developed,
relying mainly on the study of Gewald et al. (2004), with contributions from the studies of
Anderson (1997) and Kotabe et al. (2008). The researchers distributed 130 questionnaires but
only 122 were retrieved, out of which 114 were considered valid for statistical treatment.
