Why Outsourcing is Bad for Business

As countries like China and India become leaders in manufacturing the costs of their expertise rises diminishing their advantage against US counterparts. Adversely, convoluted and increasingly risky supply chains dependent on inexperienced vendors have turned once stable brands like Boeing, into the perfect "reshoring" case study.

Not to mention the outsourcing of Programming jobs to India... Unfortunately for Indians, most schools in India use outdated Compilers and practices, and focus on churning out scores of unskilled Programmers rather than a few GOOD Programmers. This then results in poor quality Code, which then has to be fixed by a freelance Programmer in the U.S..

Doing an essay-style report on global outsourcing and this has provided some great examples, thanks!

reasonable, but only applies to a part of outsourcing, for example the classical IT-Development ousourcing to India or as you say, production. BUT you must not forget two factors: many companies are willing to risk even higher costs for the sake of flexibility, especially when it comes to unstable/unkown markets, for example expanding sales to a different continet. The other factor being outsourcing parts like your HR (either as a whole business unit) or just parts like recruiting to a partner that is payed on a per capita basis (only when making the placement). These forms of outsourcing will increase significantly, even exponentially with cost pressure.

Was this video outsourced to voice over + white board video maker off-shore company?

[sville]

I'm writing an argumentative analysis paper right now on this video, I was wondering if you could tell me the narrator of this video, and what his degree is, and where he is from. Possibly if he is just hired for his voice, or all of this is his work. You guys did a great job with this video, and I'm on your side. I would really appreciate a response. Thank you.

Unfortunately, many companies still rather outsourcing.

[lechecaballito]

Thank you! This was really helpful! But the difference between outsourcing and offshoring wasn't totally clear? Could you explain that to me please?

[ericrodgers]

Completely agree. Outsourcing can also refer to conducting business anywhere outside your geographical range or sphere of influence. This means domestic. Outsourcing has worked extremely well for small businesses and professionals across a wide variety of industries. There's so much good and bad advice in the entrepreneurial community from these so-called experts we must learn to read in between the lines and experiment for ourselves. This entire presentation was regurgitated information about what everyone else was saying.

Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt sollte nicht mit Steinen werfen.

Sounds plausible. But is it true? Does it map to every case?

[beerhangover]

Why did he talk about off-shoring the whole time? I was looking for outsourcing.
