Canada is lone G8 offshore outsourcing destination

by DavidAkin on Wed 26 May 2004 10:16 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Paul Kedrosky points to a new study which looks at the top destinations for offshore outsourcing. India is number one and Canada is ninth. From Kedrosky's blog:

Infectious Greed: Offshoring to Canada: "Interestingly, there is only one G8 country in the list: Canada. I'm not convinced that is anything to write home about."

Look for a piece by Kedrosky, incidentally, in the June issue of the Harvard Business Review. "It is about some business strategy/structure implications of syndication (i.e., RSS, Atom, etc.)," Kedrosky writes. " The article is mostly concerned with the broad idea of freeing up "dark matter" in organizations, although I do touch on some more tactical syndication-related issues, like news distribution and the like.
