There are two parts to this discussion forum. The first part of the discussion forum is for you to take the Threshold Achievement Test for Information Literacy (TATIL). The test is not graded, and your results are anonymous. The TATIL assesses your ability to recall and apply your knowledge and metacognition about core information literacy dispositions that underlie your behaviors. Through this combination of knowledge and dispositional assessment, TATIL offers a unique and valuable measure of the complexities of information literacy. The results of this assessment will guide UAGC in developing the best possible library resources and research methodologies training.
For the second part of this discussion forum, you will find four sources that contain data specifically about or relative to the problem you selected. Analyze these sources for trustworthiness and accuracy. The data sources can be in the form of articles, videos, personal communications, government reports, etc. Consider how reviewing existing research about similar situations, relevant data, facts, etc., through a theoretical lens can explain the problem.

Critical Thinking
Many businesses are looking for answers in the fiercely competitive, wildly unpredictable, and dynamic climate of today. As supply chain management grows more complex and the gap between what businesses want to do and what they can do internally widens, businesses start to understand that doing the right thing is more exciting than doing everything. As a result, by outsourcing and offshoring tasks that are unrelated to their main business, companies become sharper and more specialized. Businesses frequently choose to contract out this function in full or in part to agents or outside logistics companies.
Provide an answer to the following questions by acknowledging any local or multinational Saudi enterprise using the offshoring and outsourcing concepts.

Question:
What functions do third-party logistics companies provide to ensure that a global organization’s supply chain operates smoothly? (3 Mark)
What are the driving forces behind businesses expanding abroad? (3 Mark)
Why do businesses seek to offshore their work to developing nations? Give instances.
References (Use APA style of referencing (1 Mark)
