Learning Objective

  • To discuss the benefits of offshoring
  • To discuss and understand the formation of the stigma with offshoring work
  • To discuss the impact of consumer animosity on attitude towards offshoring
  • Patriotism vs. Ethnocentrism

Course Overview

Proponents of offshoring argue that it lowers costs and can save thousands of jobs by making struggling companies competitive again and avoiding their failure. Critics say that offshoring is nothing more than the flagrant exportation of U.S. jobs to foreign countries.

Who is right? There are valid arguments on both sides, but analysis shows that the long-term effect is largely beneficial to the U.S. economy—and inevitable.

By having access to staff offshore, businesses can then use additional resources to grow their business and become more sustainable and can hire more people recently this has made the offshoring concept widely accepted.

Key Topics covered in this Continuing Professional Education webinar

  • Pre and Post Pandemic Offshoring Trend
  • Growth Drivers for offshoring
  • Which are the stigma?

Linda Calvelli, CPA (US)

The company I work for has been outsourcing for 10 years now and it gets better with each year. The staff in India are wonderful to work with. The fact that I would defend outsourcing comes as a surprise to me because when the idea was first introduced, I, like my other colleagues, were all about keeping American jobs in the US but the staff in India are all that was was said in the class today and more. We really appreciate our Global Ops Center.

This isn't directly relevant to my job; however, understanding the trend - or not - to offshoring illuminates global business trends which is instructive for understanding possible short- and long-term trends that would affect my job.
