Excerpts:

• No one can deny the fact that done without regard for national economic security, outsourcing can cost a country millions of jobs. Yet supporters contend that outsourcing lowers manufacturing costs, lowers prices, and helps decrease the cost of living. (page 42)
• Include the number of skilled employees, the number of employees in training, the number of employees hired to support those employees (secretaries, cafeteria staff, janitors, security, human resources), and so on and so forth. (page 76)
• Indirect costs are expenses that are not directly accountable to a particular function or product. They include taxes, administration, personnel and security costs, and overhead. (page 85)
• Your company may regard outsourcing as a financial or security risk. Or it might fear outsourcing will invoke employee retaliation or a public revolt. (page 113)
• Things get complicated when you get fixed-fee bids on things like outsourced software development, security network troubleshooting, or call center services because these types of projects are hard to break down into concrete, hourly components. (page 217)
• Basically, the website’s security verification ensures RentACoder that a buyer has rightful use of certain financial resources: credit cards, PayPal, and any other resource that funds or attempts to fund the site’s escrow program. (page 284)
• Apparently, Vista’s security precautions didn’t like the way we wanted to play with Internet cookies. Consequently, the buyer didn’t like it either. (page 331)
• You can’t for example, demand your coder’s social security number or home address. Nor can you lay off a coder or fire a coder without good cause. (page 375)
