Insourcing is when a company uses its own people to do a job, instead of paying another company to do it. It is a business word, built as a blend of in and — so it only really makes sense if you already know (sending the work out). You will hear it in offices, newspapers, and policy talk: insourcing IT, insourcing call centres, a move toward insourcing. There is also a verb: to insource the work. Though actually, it is not always a warm ‘bring jobs home’ story. Sometimes a firm insources because the outside company did a bad job, or because secrets should stay inside. Governments talk about insourcing a service when the state will run it again, not a private firm. The tidy opposite of is this word; real companies mix both.
內包（相對「外包」outsourcing：用自己人做，而不是請外面的廠商）
組成Blend of in + outsourcing. The in- flips the direction: the work stays, or comes back, inside.
