Outsourcing has infiltrated the world of human resource management in a major way. Over time the number of organizations skilled in performing specific human resource activities has grown to the point where there is now a general provider or a specialist provider organization that can perform almost any human resource management task or activity. This article aims to identify some of the key elements necessary for successful outsourcing. For outsourcing of human resource management activities to be truly effective, companies must understand what can be outsourced as well as what cannot be outsourced. This article presents a hierarchy that identifies the kinds of activities that lend themselves to outsourcing and then it identifies the characteristics that preclude certain functions from being outsourced. Successful outsourcing of human resource activities also demands that organizations know and understand the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing. Another prerequisite for successful outsourcing is to understand what actions are necessary to create a successful ongoing relationship between the company doing the outsourcing and the subcontractor or outsourcing firm.Keywords

History provides opportunities to look back and evaluate events. Looking back to historical events surrounding research provides the possibility for learning from decisions made and actions taken previously. It is apparent that both good and bad actions were taken during the early years of research. The purpose of this paper was to take a contemporary and historical look into the evolution of ethics in research. This investigation is valuable to higher education because by exploring the events preparations can be made to recognize potential wrongs, avoid or reduce potential wrongs, and determine who is responsible for ethical research. A conceptual model of ethical research is presented. Ethics in research is a shared responsibility. It is dependent on history, the researcher, the reviewers, and the research community. History guides the researcher, the review process, and the research communities.Keywords
