For years the U.S. has seen explosive growth in the offshoring of services to many locations around the world. Many organizations are taking advantage of these opportunities because of the benefits to them and their customers.

Offshoring has produced some economic benefits but it has also created problems such as, work performed in remote areas that fail to meet quality standards, exploitation of workers, and lower environmental standards, especially in developing countries. These

At the time of development of globalization there were many concerns about its benefits. However, it has brought significant changes in all segments of human life and International business is one area in which it contributed heavily (Reich, 1998). Companies all over the world are currently formulating their business strategies mainly after considering the trends in global market instead of domestic market. Outsourcing and offshoring are some of the new business principles emerged in this world after the implementation of globalization (Samimi and Jentabad, 2014). The core of these new business concepts is to exploit the business opportunities in overseas countries as much as possible (Samimi and Jentabad, 2014).

Information technology (IT) industry is expanding worldwide starting with western IT firms conducting its operations in various countries with the help of offshore sourcing. IT offshoring is economically benefiting to source IT operations from the countries, which incurs low cost to develop software (Carmel & Tjia, 2005). Cultural differences may look like barrier for the regular operations in the offshore countries, but it can offer skilled operators and engineers to ensure quality output. The distance, politics, and business models can allow diverse issues to be addressed on a regular basis, which may create hindrances to control the operations related to the projects. Numerous advantages are triggered from cost advantages,

“Hey, do you want to eat something? I am cooking tonight” my mom asked. I said, “no thanks mom, I will eat outside tonight and I might get a little late coming back home.”

Offshoring has its advantages as well as it disadvantages, as most business decisions do. It is the weighing of those two leverages that make the debate of offshoring such a conflict. Offshoring reaps many benefits for companies. For starters, offshoring allows companies to stream their productions globally. With this they may then begin to cut cost of goods to a lower rate to increase the demand, a plus for both the company and it’s consumers. This investment also acquires new customers and even puts the companies into new market

punishment by death, crimes that are punishable by death include first degree murder, terrorism, and espionage (“Capital Punishment”). The death penalty can be viewed as inhumane because if someone is sentenced to death and later found to be innocent there's no bringing that person back to life. Today there are thirty-six countries that practice the death penalty and the U.S. is the only western country that still uses the death penalty(“Capital Punishment”). The U.S. being the only western country to still use capital punishment can cause controversy because of all the money that is spent on it. The death penalty is inhumane and puts an economic burden on

Offshoring is the practice of relocating business processes to lower cost locations outside the country of origin. This is not a new practice for companies in the United States. Moving business processes to another country to take advantages of lower operating costs and cheap labor seems like a great idea. However, the dilemma for a company is whether the benefits of offshoring outweigh the risks. This dissertation will begin by briefly reviewing the history of offshoring. Next, it will examine the various advantages and disadvantages associated with offshoring. Thirdly, it will explore the growing trends of backshoring and nearshoring in situations where

For years now it has been widely practised for large companies and firms to outsource manufacturing, services, and innovation activities to low-cost countries like China and India. However, while it may have always existed, it has only been in recent years that is has really started to take off. As discussed by Dossani and Kenney (2007, p.779), “in less than six years, offshoring of services has evolved from an exotic and risky strategy to a routine business decision.” The extent of this growth is having a huge effect on both emerging economies and advanced economies. According to Apte (2006), new product development is now the fastest growing offshoring segment in India. Advanced economies now have the ability to produce products at a far more productive and efficient rate than ever before. This also means that emerging economies can expand their own economies by having more people employed and paid. Unfortunately, many firms still have not taken advantage of this, and as discussed by Waltz (2005) it’s the stability and quality of work that is often what discourages firms.

During last decades, lots of companies in developed countries have moved their production processes from the origin country to other developing countries in the East, Southeast and South Asia (Tate et al 2014), so-called offshoring or outsourcing activities. This practice occurred strongly as a trend in the manufacturing industry due to economic and strategic objectives such as lower overseas labour cost, location advantage cost, related government and

Information is a key factor that plays a large role in the day-to-day activities within the health care sector. It is generated and processed by healthcare providers, such as physicians, nurses and hospitals as they provide care to their patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge. It is especially challenging in the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many different types of providers, services and settings for care (Congressional Budget Office, 2008). Information and communication Technologies (ICT) has the potential to greatly increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the health sector by assisting healthcare providers with managing information. It also has the potential to lead to better cost-efficiency in the health sector.
