Kobayashi-Hillary,
Mark. Outsourcing to India: the
offshore advantage (2nd
ed.). Berlin; New York, NY : Springer, c2005.
UMCP McKeldin Library:
Stacks - HD9696.67.I42 K6 2005
A day does not pass without a newspaper report
about yet another company that has started outsourcing
technology or other business processes to India.
The Senate recently voted 70 to 26 in favor of
preventing federal contracts going offshore, yet
US managers continue to beat a path to India because
it is the global leader for offshore IT-enabled
services. Many CEOs seek to reduce their costs
or improve service quality, but not many understand
India on their first visit and some are confused
by the culture. In this book author Mark Kobayashi-Hillary
introduces India and the major players in the Indian
service industry. He offers a balanced view on
the trend to outsource to India, describing the
reasons why a business should utilize India as
an offshore outsourcing destination and the steps
needed to find and work with a local partner. Not
only does the book make a compelling economic case
for outsourcing to this region, it also discusses
how to manage the entire transition process, including
the potential impact on local resources. Mark Kobayashi-Hillary
is a British writer and independent outsourcing
consultant based in London. He has worked at a
senior level for several leading banking and technology
groups and has been involved in managing outsourced relationships in the UK, Singapore and India. He
is a regular commentator on India and outsourcing
in the European press. Outsourcing To India is
written from personal experience and several years
of research. This practical guide will help managers
navigate through the offshore outsourcing maze,
allowing them to avoid many of the major pitfalls
others have faced when setting up shop in India.

Life Series-Bullfrog Films (2000) Produced by Television Trust for the Environment
http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/ls.html
The Life series of thirty 24-minute programs tackles the issue of globalization and its effect on ordinary people in countries throughout the world. In 1995, there was a meeting of the world's leaders in Copenhagen called the Social Summit. The group promised action on poverty, employment and social integration -- pledging governments to deliver greater social justice to the world's six billion inhabitants.
But in the five years since Copenhagen, the gap between the rich and the poor actually widened, while development assistance from the industrialized donor countries went into sharp decline. The global economy and technological advancement are progressing hand in hand, but a mere few are monopolizing its rewards.
The Life series takes us to India, Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, Mexico, the Middle East, the Pacific Islands, and the United States to examine the problems that the global economy is continuing, if not propagating for billions of people. The films suggest that everyone on this planet has a social responsibility to everyone else, and that all should be afforded the same human rights and a share in the fruits of the new world economy. |
