Outsourcing is about hiring a “help” veneewhr you have too much job to handle. It’s like giving heavy workload that eats a lot of your time to someone else in order for you to focus on more important things. How much is it going to cost is just an example of the things you need to consider.It’s got lots of benefits but of course, there are also some of disadvantages. Other companies find some ways to eliminate few of those disadvantages by to make outsourcing be effective.
Its a cycle of technology and cost of iooductprn. As US is ahead in the race, they developed technologies and now living standard in US is much higher. Which means people earn more which means higher salaries. Look at India and China now. Standard of living and Cost of living in these countries is lower. People are okay with less salaries so cost of iooductprn is cheaper. Still most of technology development happens in US only. After few years, technology will shift to Indian and china and people will need more money for their ever rising standard of living. At that time (may be after 10 to 15 yrs), India will no longer be competitive. Then manufacturing will move to other countries like Srilanka, bangladesh, south africa etc where cost of living will be lower. This is a cycle and the technology development is survivor. If India and china will learn US ways to focus on technology development by the time they become costlier for manufacturing, then only they will survive otherwise they will die down. I believe people in India understands importance of it.
I think the reason I found so many of my favorite blogs is because of your blogroll! Thank you
