For the same reason it's difficult to run a business - because you've got to manage strategy, structure business processes, applications, infrastructure, and the culture all at once. The latest trend which dominates offshoring legal support services is the spreading of legal web across the world and extending legal services to the advantage of the client. As the legal market across the globe becomes more and more competitive, increasing number of international organizations seek state-of-the-art legal LPO services to meet the rising demands of quality and cost effectiveness.

    Whether an organization consists of five or 25,000 employees, human resources management is vital to the success of the organization. HR is important to all managers because it provides managers with the resources – the employees – necessary to produce the work for the managers and the organization. Beyond this role, HR is capable of becoming a strong strategic partner when it comes to “establishing the overall direction and objectives of key areas of human resource management in order to ensure that they not only are consistent with but also support the achievement of business goals.” (Massey, 1994, p. 27)
