Excerpts:

• The online outsourcing community is simply “Brobdingnagian” (yeah, say that three times fast) and it’s getting bigger every day. That would be of course, a community that knows there’s a faster, better, and more economical way of achieving goals just as you suspected. (page 14)
• 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 43)
• The customer expects to benefit from one or more of the following constructs of proximity: geographic, temporal, cultural, linguistic, economic, political, or historical linkages. (page 63)
• In the tough economic times we’re currently facing, offshoring isn’t exactly the patriotic thing to do right now. And that’s why the Capitol “is in talks with 40 U.S. companies who offer the same products.” (page 107)
• Individuals who live in countries that are prohibited from engaging in U.S. economic activities for example, cannot participate – and neither can individuals who RentACoder (now, vWorker) deems as direct competitors or individuals whose participation would cause a conflict of interest. (page 124)
• Read “Saving American Jobs in Tough Economic Times” in the Appendixes to learn why such a strategy could be a feasible one when facing a dire financial future. (page 138)
• Our most important questions surround President Obama’s 900 billion economic stimulus package designed to “create or save more than 3 million jobs.” (page 403)
