Recommendation

The world is shrinking, trade borders are evaporating and it no longer matters where employees work, according to outsourcing entrepreneur Derek Gallimore. He offers a colorful history of global trade and debunks arguments against outsourcing and offshoring, practices he finds give companies a competitive edge and cost savings. Gallimore is in the offshoring business in the Philippines, and he’s openly passionate and opinionated about it. He successfully conveys the urgency he feels about preparing for a new economic reality with an unrestricted global labor force, and he urges companies not to get left behind.

Take-Aways

  • Outsourcing is becoming a necessity on the march toward a single global economy.
  • The internet is democratizing global access to jobs.
  • Reduced labor costs are just one of the many advantages of outsourcing or offshoring.
