Blog Your Thoughts About
Sourcing
Letter from Bangalore: Bosses
Abroad |
|
|
A recent article in
The Economist titled "Manager, Offshore Thyself"
caught my attention because the subject — top executives
(CEOs, CFOs, et al) relocating to far corners of the
world away from their headquarters in order to meet the
changing needs of their businesses — resonated with what
we have been seeing in the market. So I asked my
colleague Thomas Sebastian, based in TPI's Bangalore
office, to share his perspective on this trend. His
dispatch follows in Consider the Source — a discussion
forum of today’s hot topics on insourcing, offshoring,
shared services and outsourcing.
