Offshoring: Is It a Win-Win Game?
Overview
The business practice of offshoring focuses on the
relocation of labor-intensive service industry functions to locations remote to the
business center; it's prime benefit is reduces labor costs. It has been enabled by
the improvement in
international telecommunications capacity, and the ability to transmit information over long
distances at very low cost and with little loss of quality. These changes make
organizational boundaries and national borders much less important in deciding
the location of service functions.
This white paper looks at the debate over outsourcing; why so many enterprises consider it a sound business solution; and how it does, in fact, benefit the domestic economy.
