Se aborda especialmente el problema de integrar conocimiento desarrollado en la empresa que requiere el outsourcing, esto es analizado, evidenciando oportunidades de mejora. Los resultados indican que para las pequeñas y medianas empresas (gimes), con recursos limitados, puede ser mejor dar prioridad a la proximidad entre empresas antes que al conocimiento de punta, es crucial mantener cercanía y contacto frecuente durante el proceso de outsourcing en aquellas actividades intensivas en conocimiento.
