The Offshoring of America
By: Richard H.K. Vietor, Jan W. Rivkin and Juliana Seminerio
Abstract
The movement from jobs in the United States to developing countries, in a process known as offshoring, has become quite a controversial topic. Managers not only need to decide which activities, if any, to move offshore, but where to move them. This case describes the nature of offshoring and its effect on developing countries.
