When should a company choose the BOT model?
The BOT model is an ideal outsourcing strategy for companies looking to establish a long-term presence in a new market with minimal risk. You should choose this model when:
- Lowering Entry Risk: You want to expand into a new country (like Vietnam) but lack knowledge of local labor laws, taxes, and office regulations.
- Scaling Quickly: You need to bridge a talent gap and want to leverage an overseas partner’s existing recruitment network to hire experts fast.
- Long-term Ownership: Unlike standard outsourcing, you plan to eventually own the team as a permanent subsidiary or an in-house department after 2–3 years.
- Cost Efficiency: You want to avoid the heavy upfront costs of setting up physical infrastructure, offices, and administrative departments yourself.
- Maintaining Control: You want to stay involved in the technical standards and culture during the “Operate” phase to ensure a seamless “Transfer” later.
