This paper will give you the
opportunity to understand how emerging countries are managing human capital in
the tightening global labor market. According to a 2008 McKinsey Global
Institute study, countries outside of the United States are presenting an
opportunity for highly qualified, cost-effective alternatives to
US-educated/based professional talent. For instance, Morocco is now home to
offshore centers for French and Spanish companies requiring fluent speakers of
their home languages. Neighboring Tunisia has used its modern infrastructure,
business-friendly regulations, and stable, low-cost workforce to attract
companies such as Siemens. Vietnam offers university graduates who have strong
mathematics skills; speak French, English, German, or Russian; and do not
demand high wages. In choosing a location, companies will have to focus less on
low wages and much more on other ways that candidate cities can fulfill their
business needs. They will also have to be much more rigorous in articulating
precisely what they require from an offshore location.
This paper will allow you to explore answers to the following questions: Should
we move white-collar jobs to offshore environments? With pressures on CEOs and
business leaders of all ranks to increase shareholder value by reducing costs,
one of the options in consideration is the opportunity to move white-collar
professional positions to Outside US. You must have at least three
references (total) to the Hill text, the Ascent of Money videos, your relevant
website material, Wall Street Journal, etc. citing using APA.
This paper is designed for you to compare and contrast the pros and cons of
moving white-collar jobs offshore. By comparing the two points of view, you
will be able to better understand how a company chooses (knowingly or
unknowingly) to adopt a particular position and how this decision will affect
the economy of the US and the company that receives the job influx.
Your paper will consider the following questions:
·
What benefits result from the
outsourcing of skilled white collar jobs to developing nations?
·
Who are the
losers?
·
Will developed nations like
the US suffer from the loss of skilled and high paying jobs to developing
nations? Is there a difference between the transference of high-paying
white collar jobs, such as computer programming and accounting to developing
nations and low-paying bluecollar jobs?
·
If so, what is the difference,
and should government do anything to stop the flow of white-collar jobs out of
the country?
·
Be sure to include your
country of choice as one comparison to the US.
