Just see if this could turn into an interesting discussion What would be the negative impacts of outsourcing? (online jobs such as... website & graphics designs). MY list is: - Lowering the standard price for this industry (website & graphics design) because we have to complete with very low prices - People who are being used for outsourcing get paid less.... (educated people, people with skills should be paid more). Does anyone have an actual price? Anything else?
the price is not a big deal, the $ dropped about 20% against the INR, otherwise i could have provided more cheap rates!! people in amarica are getting job less, because indian's are working for cheaper rates in the bpo, this was in news sometime back, and it can be cause of worry!
OUtsourcing is what my internet business thrives on... without it I simply wouldn't have enough time to do anything... Seriously outsourcing is the way to go Anyways negative impacts of outsourcing for me include the quality of the work... Thats why when I am getting ghostwriters for ebooks I will only pay them by the chapter, and I dont pay till I like it... theres a little tip for ya Josiah
Of course there are lots of benefits, that's why it's popular I meant.. for the person on the other end..
Losing money is all i can think of , i outsource almost everything and that made me a little bit lazy, now even when i have the time to work i prefere to outsource.
As a fellow Canadian all I can say is that 10$ here isn't 10$ overseas, so I think it's win win most of the time. One downfall is loss of control over some aspects of the project, but that is inevitable whenever you don't do everything yourself.
