Here is a really interesting article on the man who essentially invented the Indian outsourcing market, Narayana Murthy.

He makes some interesting points to counter all the nonsense about how this stuff is "taking American jobs." It's something to consider next time you hear a politician or pundit whining about our jobs going overseas.

quote:
He (Murthy) answers it by saying every morning he gets up and gets a Pepsi out of his GE Fridge and drives his American car to work where he sits down at his Dell computer. India used to have companies that made soft drinks, refrigerators, cars and computers. But the American ones were better. Allowing them in hurt Indian workers in the short term, but provided a far better quality of life for a much bigger swath of Indians long term. He argues outsourcing has done the same thing for US companies. Greater efficiencies and cost-savings enables these companies to stay competitive and there’s no reason they can’t—in theory—plow those savings into better local jobs or job training.
