Outsourcing Evolving

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the onward-and-outward dept.

Shree writes "An article at NYTimes suggests that the outsourcing mantra is shifting to reasons of hiring global talent, tapping new potential minds and amassing top global human resources. Its not just software companies trying to save a buck by outsourcing; now its about Berkely trying to hookup with Tsinghua University and institutes in India, and companies like IBM and Microsoft looking to setup R&D labs in Asia."

    Why are we having to outsource these kinds of technical jobs?

    Because our workers and governments demand too much. When companies have to pay high salaries, top benefits, and meet tons of regulations and pay huge taxes on top of everything then what do you expect? It amazes me when I see legislation that attempts to force large companies to dedicate a portion of their payroll expenses to health care costs for workers. Don't our lawmakers understand that this communist style approach to government will only drive businesses away?
