The Macroeconomics of Offshore Outsourcing

The offshore outsourcing industry has exploded in the last few years. According to Forbes, it is the most significant business practice in the past year. Cost reduction and the availability of talented resources have made several global companies flock to offshore locations like India. There has been an evolution in offshore outsourcing as back office processes are no longer the only kind of work outsourced. Now, more core processes and specialized services are being outsourced to India as recognition of the expertise and skills available is growing.
