I agree with your first point. It is really important to know what is the market situation, the competitors’ advantages, and what the society needs.

I agree with you of these two risks. The purpose of outsourcing is saving the cost for the company. If the outsourcer cannot achieve the goal and expectation of what the company wants, saving the cost is meaningless.
Also, if the company outsourcing IT functions and share the important internal information, the company might lose heavily.
