In your report, comment on whether the offshore outsourcing of IT jobs is just another step in the progression that began with manufacturing jobs, or represents a whole new trend. Be sure to cite Web research sources and your own reasons.
What will be an ideal response?
The chapter contains a discussion of the outsourcing trend that began with manufacturing jobs. Sharp-eyed students will notice the page 208 reference to Dartmouth Professor Matthew Slaughter’s view that IT work will move offshore even faster than manufacturing. Students should have no difficulty in obtaining more information about this topic. In addition to a broad-based Internet search, mention to students that CIO magazine has its own internal search engine, which will provide access to other material about Professor Slaughter.
