Excerpts:
- Because outsourcing can transfer jobs from the workplace to a foreign, remote location, a lot of people believe it destroys employment opportunities. While that’s not always true, it isn’t exactly incorrect either. (page 43)
- Nearshoring means sourcing service activities to a foreign country that is relatively close in distance or time zone (or both). (page 63)
- RentACoder hosts an uncountable number of foreign service workers, and unless you specifically choose to work with a coder in your own country, you’re bound to run into a contractor from anywhere around the world. (page 101)
- Speaking of replacement… If you’re worried you may talk yourself out of a job – relax. Outsourcing isn’t exactly foreign. (page 115)
- The idea of outsourcing overseas can sound complicated, but many foreign countries now provide assistance to companies that bring in local employment and business. (page 258)
- That can cause communication problems when an American customer needs troubleshooting support from a foreign communicator. (page 260)
- As innocent as your messages might be, you just might offend a foreign coder with questions about his/her country or lifestyle. (page 372)
