What changed about the content? How is it better?
I added a lot more content which helps the audience get a better background on outsourcing.
What changed about the form? How is it better?
Not much really changed about my form. My QRG is still broken down into similar parts but like I said in the other report, it just flows better when I added more information.

Much Older Than You May Think
The idea of outsourcing is not a new one. It goes back to the beginning of civilization, when people began to live in communities and realize that they are unable to make everything they wanted. To solve this, people began to look for and trade with other communities that could produce what they wanted.

The idea of outsourcing is not a new one. It goes back to the beginning of civilization, when people began to live in communities and realize that they are unable to make everything they wanted. To solve this, people began to look for and trade with other communities that could produce what they wanted. This benefited both communities because one was receiving a good at a cheaper cost while the other was gaining business from selling the good which helped stimulate its economy. One could consider this type of trading as an early form of outsourcing.
As civilizations developed, outsourcing became more and more common. However, it was the Industrial Revolution that sparked the massive amount of outsourcing that we see today. During the Industrial Revolution, companies began to outsource services that they usually did themselves. Instead of taking a product through the entire production stage (from raw material to finished good), businesses began to realize that they could save a lot of money if they payed someone else to do part of the process for them. Soon enough, other businesses realized that they were unable to match the price of goods produced by companies that outsourced so they themselves began outsourcing and just like that outsourcing took off. Due to their lower labor costs abroad, companies began to look foreign countries to outsource labor.
