A major debate in the business world today revolves around the practice of "offshoring" or "outsourcing" to foreign countries, especially India. While outsourcing American manufacturing jobs has been happening since the 1970s, the current practice of outsourcing includes American higher-level jobs, ranging from technology helpdesks to accounting and even radiology. In this Discussion, you will explore and debate the pros and cons of outsourcing-investigating why it is becoming a common practice and the effect it has on both the American and global community.
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Review pages 341-344 in The World Today and the Walden Library article on offshoring, located in this week's Resources area.
• Consider the steady commercial expansion of India since 1947 and what elements India holds that makes it a hotspot for outsourced jobs now.
• If your surname begins with the letters A-M, formulate an argument highlighting the benefits of outsourcing jobs. If your surname begins with N-Z, create an argument highlighting negative effects of this practice. Focus specifically on the geographical influences and effects.
With these thoughts in mind, post by Day 3 an argument either for or against outsourcing jobs. Focus specifically on the geographical influences and effects of this practice.
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week's Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
Then, read a selection of your colleagues' postings and respond by Day 5 to at least one of your colleagues' postings who argued for the practice of outsourcing and one who argued against it. You may either support your colleagues' postings with additional information or offer a counterpoint.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made.
