Book Synopsis

Praise from industry experts for The Offshore Nation

"The growing trend of globalization of services needs to be understood by everyone involved-businesses, customers, governments, citizens. This book provides a fundamental understanding of this important set of developments.”-Harris Miller, President, Information Technology Association of America (ITAA)

“A stunningly thorough rebuttal to Lou Dobbs, The Offshore Nation makes a compelling case for the globalization of services and provides a practical roadmap for those with the foresight to seize the opportunity to establish competitive advantage in a global economy.”-J. Ross Docksey, Partner, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP , Leading Global Legal Firm

"Globalization, outsourcing, the pace of technology, and the growth of a global services economy combine to have a dramatic impact on corporate enterprises, country economies, and the career of individual workers around the world. This work provides real insight into how these forces relate and operate, and how workers, countries and companies can navigate to their advantage."-Steve Huhn, Vice President, WW Strategic Outsourcing, HP Managed Services

"The Offshore Nation demonstrates the changes in how work is accomplished in supply chain, paper and IT-intensive industries in much the same way Henry Ford changed processes in car manufacturing."-Jerry Rao, Chairman and CEO, Mphasis, Chairman, Nasscom
