  • Stop trying to justify outsourcing.

    You are at that conference to promote it.

    This video is propaganda.

  • Well the outsourcing story has changed even in the last 12 months with Indian companies like Infosys now outsourcing back to Europe and America tasks which they cannot do so easily and well in India right now - in particular senior management tasks. Patrick Dixon

  • America and Europe will soon become like India and China if all you greedy corporations keep sending those jobs overseas.

  • We are one global village and as soviet union found you can if you wish reject market forces and subsidise inneficient organisations to protect jobs at home. History shows us that this usually results in lower standards of living and lower economic growth. Patrick Dixon

  • What about being able to provide 24 hour cover due to the time zone differences. India is 12 hours ahead of USA's PST I think.

  • Correct - an important reason for outsourcing / offshoring.

  • The jerk-offs that are sending our jobs overseas will be out of business real soon. They went to far and destroyed their best markets. The only thing that's left is a bunch of jobless broke Americans with maxed out credit cards that can't even afford to buy their cheep Chinese products anymore. Take a look at profits for the fortune 500. They've never seen things this bad before. And after China burns through their stimulus money their jobs will be flushed down the toilet bowl to. Fucking morons

  • Some things are important to outsource like making toothpaste caps and when you have 24/7 call centers but the USA is outsourcing EVERYTHING now. Even all the "high tech" manufacturing is gone. Look at your i-pod or PC - MADE IN CHINA. It is all about money. Thats it. The government must step in and STOP THIS.
