	The Next Wave Of Offshoring -- March 2005
		The revolution's name is offshoring, and while the concept is not new-manufacturing jobs have been moved to countries such as China and Mexico for years-what is different of late is the huge number of white-collar jobs that are being relocated abroad, and at a tempo and scale never witnessed before.
		In earlier years, offshoring, or the substitution of foreign for domestic labor, meant that an American dialing a toll-free number caused a phone to ring in India, or a German sending an e-mail to Microsoft got a reply from China.
		Offshoring is already a net gain for the U.S. and for the country where the jobs land.

	Foreign Affairs - Offshoring: The Next Industrial Revolution? - Alan S. Blinder
		Mankiw was commenting on the phenomenon that has been clumsily dubbed "offshoring" (or "offshore outsourcing") -- the migration of jobs, but not the people who perform them, from rich countries to poor ones.
		Offshoring, Mankiw said, is only "the latest manifestation of the gains from trade that economists have talked about at least since Adam Smith.
		We have so far barely seen the tip of the offshoring iceberg, the eventual dimensions of which may be staggering.

	Offshoring High-Tech and Professional Jobs
		While the offshoring of high-tech and professional jobs is a relatively new phenomenon, one that is just taking off, it is quickly becoming a significant new element contributing to the long-term decline that we have all experienced in our incomes, in the security of our families, and in the fabric of our lives.
		Unlike the offshoring of manufacturing jobs in the past, there is no expanding economic sector in the United States to buffer the impact of high-tech offshoring.
		Offshoring our jobs to low-wage nations like China that have no democracy, no civil rights, no unions, no environmental protection, and no privacy laws is another example of their determination to undermine and destroy any democracy that allows the working many to resist the power of the wealthy few.

	Offshoring can be a great social boon for developing countries

		Offshoring is opening the doors to for employment and transforming people into professionals.
		Offshoring is also driving positive changes in infrastructure, the law and society.

	Expert Access: Auditing Offshoring Projects
		All offshoring projects involve investment of some sort, whether it takes the form of time investment by employees who would otherwise work on other productive projects or money expenditures to retain the services of an offshoring service provider.
		That most organizations do not audit offshoring value, just as they do not audit the value from IT investment, can be attributed to many phenomena: a culture of indifference to the measurement of value, an indifference to the importance of value creation for shareholders, poor IT management practices (and poor returns from those investments).
		An offshoring value audit provides a clearer measurement path because much of the cost/benefit impact is rolled up in what the service provider delivers versus the monthly cost of that service provider.

	Offshoring - What is Offshoring?
		Offshoring simply means having the outsourced business functions done in another country.
		Other times, the reasons for offshoring are strategic -- to enter new markets, to tap talent currently unavailable domestically or to overcome regulations that prevent specific activities domestically.
		The dominant location for much of the manufacturing outsourcing (in the form of offshoring) by U.S. companies is China, which has made a push in recent years to also become a provider of services.

	Offshoring, Import Competition, and the Jobless Recovery (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The immediate effect of an increase in offshoring is a reduction in U.S. employment, either through a rise in worker layoffs or a slowdown in new job creation.
		To make estimates about the level and growth of offshoring, it would be most useful to have import data classified at some greater level of detail, for example BPT services, and within that category specific information about such items as services related to computers, software, and data processing.
		But even a large increase in the estimate of the relevant service imports and their employment effects would still be quite small relative to the overall economy, the annual turnover in the American labor market, and the magnitude of the shortfall in job growth that has to be explained.

	Offshoring
		Offshoring also delivers considerable economic advantages to the workforce of the country transferring the work and the country that receives the jobs.

	IEEE-USA Position Statement on Offshore Outsourcing
		The offshoring of high wage jobs from the United States to lower cost overseas locations is currently contributing to unprecedented levels of unemployment among American electrical, electronics and computer engineers.
		Offshoring also poses a very serious, long term challenge to the nation's leadership in technology and innovation, its economic prosperity, and its military and homeland security.
		Government procurement rules should favor work done in the United States and should restrict the offshoring of work in any instance where there is not a clear long-term economic benefit to the nation or where the work supports technologies that are critical to our national economic or military security.

	ECM in an Offshoring Context -- CMS Watch
		This is not because offshoring itself is not viable but because of what companies decide to offshore and how they manage it.
		However, the issue is more prominent in offshoring because typically offshoring projects are awarded by a specific client to a small set of preferred integrators who usually are comparable in terms of scale and size and are often direct competitors (like Wipro and Infosys).
		Before deciding on an offshoring vendor, an analysis of the competitive landscape should be undertaken and care should be taken to avoid overlap of work between integrators when there is a chance of conflict.

	Offshoring Misconceptions
		Offshoring, rather than being inevitable, is the result of conscious decisions and conscious economic policies that have been promoted by trans-national corporations and international financial institutions.
		Inevitably, the logic of global offshoring will be repudiated, because it threatens the survival of 99% of the world's population.
		In the long run the best response to offshoring is to unite with people suffering in low-wage nations, help them form unions, and support their efforts to achieve decent pay and working conditions.

	Offshoring: It's Not Too Late to Change

		Offshoring proponents appeal to Americans' sense of fair play and belief in capitalism to reinforce their arguments.
		Offshored jobs will not return until the financial penalty for moving work overseas is higher than the wage differential—or until the value of such jobs in America falls to parity with that in other countries, which is not a pleasant prospect.

	Offshoring Defined
		The quickest way to end offshoring is to pass a law making it illegal -- and don't think Congress won't consider it if the perception is that job losses are too high because of it.
		Offshoring is much more complex than some organizations imagine, especially to those who have little experience in domestic outsourcing.
		The biggest favor a company can do itself if it pursues offshoring as a legitimate response to either cost structure or strategic imperatives (some offshoring is strategic and not just about cutting costs) is to develop a repeatable, consistent decision framework that injects discipline into the process of executing a business process offshoring initiative.

	The Offshoring of American Jobs: An Economic Catastrophe in the Making?
		Secondarily, it's due to the capture of almost the entirety of the mass media by the ultrawealthy, and its transformation in their hands into an incredibly effective instrument of propaganda on their own behalf.
		Worst of all, the offshoring trend is accelerating, and is almost certain to accelerate even faster in the future; and if this occurs it will make for tremendous economic turbulence, which will make it difficult to even guess what to retrain for.
		Since jobs that are offshored are gone for good, the very likely fate of a person who has lost a manufacturing job is to eventually get a lower-paid job after a long period of unemployment — and that represents a permanent or semi-permanent loss of income.
