UK Professor Says Outsourcing Provides Net Benefit for UK
A recent report by Mari Sako, a professor of management studies at Oxford Univerity's Said Business School, indicates that outsourcing is creating more UK jobs than it is sending abroad. While this has historically been the argument of free laborers this report takes a new twist on the claim arguing that UK is uniquely suited to reap the benefits of outsourcing. Sako argues that the UK's tightly knit business community creates a unique resource for companies considering outsourcing to draw upon. This allows companies and the country at large to create contracts which provide the most benefit to the company while simultaneously providing an overall labor creation for the local economy. This take on the question of whether outsourcing provides a net surplus or drain from the home economy is unique because it approaches the question of whether outsourcing is good for the UK and rather ignores its consequences on the rest of the world. The positive conclusions drawn by the pro-business professor are no surprise considering the recent debate on the subject raised by the pro-labor interests over some recent high-profile announcements of outsourcing moves. VNUnet.com reports:
'A lot of the UK outsouricng job creation is within data services, labour placement agencies and other areas, such as professional services, accounting, consulting, architectural design and so on,' she said.
