I can get a theoretical grasp of the situation by reading the press, but your points about what can't be outsourced and the "real" rationale behind some decisions suggests creative and critical education is important. Thanks again, Tom -- Hi,

Thanks both of you for commenting. I can get a theoretical grasp of the situation by reading the press, but your points about what can’t be outsourced and the “real” rationale behind some decisions suggests creative and critical education is important.

Thanks again,

And - interestingly enough - the main reason NOT being better off by choosing to outsource, but as a way of avoiding responsibility for actions. The it-wasn't-me, so to speak. Education is more vital in today's global economy, I think, on matters as these (real motivations behind certain choices), then ever before as a result of more difficult to understand / get a grip on outsourcing issues. Especially when international outsourcing is concerned. Would you agree?

Fortunately there will always be a need for people to manage projects and do marketing - that is one thing that cannot be outsourced with any success.
