Offshoring Knowledge Center

Outsourcing's impact on labor forces, businesses and the global economy

Offshoring, more commonly known as outsourcing, has gone through several transitions. It has moved from a little-used, unheard-of strategy to a much-debated topic of cable news shows and even a focal point of a U.S. presidential election. From labor savings to untapped and educated talent pools, offshoring has its perks - but the practice has not been seamless for some corporations.

Effective offshoring strategies

Unforeseen costs often accompany offshoring endeavors, and, combined with unmet customer expectations, have led some dissatisfied companies to move offshored operations back in-house. It's clear that companies need to first devise explicit purposes and goals of what they want to accomplish through offshoring before such decisions are made.
