« How the CSA Sees the Army | Main | War Update » January 10, 2004Outsourcing CostsFlying in the face of the conventional wisdom, this article provides an opposing view from someone in a position to know. The writer's experiences with outsourcing, while obviously anecdotal, suggests that it may not be nearly as devastating as people are claiming. Outsourcing carries hidden costs that businesses didn't realize when they began to outsource, which is changing the business calculus of outsourcing. Even less surprisingly, as more businesses outsource, it is costing them more, as the laws of supply and demand come into effect. I can't argue that outsourcing won't be an issue for the U.S. economy, but it may well be that it has far less detrimental effect than people are predicting.Posted at January 10, 2004 07:33 PM
Comment policyI apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
