Global Concerns about the US Economy
by Esteban on Jan 14, 2008 - 03:34 PM read 500 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/global-conc...I have been out of the country for a while (notice how I slip in an excuse for blog absence here–new trick I learned) and have come to realize that people outside the US are far more worried (aware?) of impending doom in the US Economy than those of us who live here. One of the things I do when I travel abroad is pick up local business magazines–most of ... read more -
Dollar Panic
by Esteban on Dec 18, 2007 - 09:33 AM read 477 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/dollar-panic/I have referenced the sliding dollar a couple of times in this blog, but until a recent The Economist cover story, I did not realize people were in a panic about it! I am no economist, so there may be many complexities that are over my head here, but the one thing I know for sure about it is that a falling dollar will not change the ... read more -
Why are we still debating offshoring?
by Esteban on Nov 13, 2007 - 12:40 PM read 2980 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/11/13/why-are-we-...Its November of 2007 and we are still having violent discussions about offshoring. A recent post in InformationWeek’s blogs triggered, as of today, 162 mostly emotional comments. I think the ship has sailed, yet cannot resist joining the debate. Amongst them, there are some enlightened points of view (I happen to agree with the author on many). And for the record, these opinions, as well as ... read more -
Picking Locations for BPO
by Esteban on Nov 08, 2007 - 09:59 PM read 1619 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/picking-loc...A reader, Phil,recently asked about which geographies are particularly strong in certain skill sets for BPO (see my post If not China, then where?) Before I go on though, there’s an important consideration that is making previous BPO decisions look bad, and my case for diversifying your portfolio of locations look good! The slide of the dollar relative most currencies is making offshore expensive! In fact, ... read more -
Death to Offshoring. Long live Offshoring!
by Esteban on Nov 04, 2007 - 09:49 PM read 1960 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/11/04/death-to-of...Apologies to Rob Thomas for my blatant swiping of the title of his blog entry. For those of you who don’t know, he is a musician-the lead singer for Matchbox 20-and his successful solo career had led the media to pronounce his band dead. I am amused by how quickly we jump to conclusions about the failure of offshore sourcing of labor. Now, I know I am ... read more -
So if not China, then where?
by Esteban on Oct 25, 2007 - 06:57 PM read 1974 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/so-if-not-c...In my last post I offered a provocative stance on multinationals development of their Chinese presence. A legitimate question to ask, then, is where will we grow and prosper if not China? It turns out that lots of regions and nations are experiencing growth that makes them attractive to multi-nationals. Both from a markets and a workforce perspective, there are more than a few alternatives. For the purpose of this ... read more -
Global does not Equal China: a contrarian point of view
by Esteban on Oct 23, 2007 - 01:18 PM read 2108 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/10/23/global-does...I sometimes shock some of my clients (and sometimes get laughed right out of the boardroom) when I advise the not to invest aggressively in Chinaand this from a sworn proponent of globalization! Bottom line, it is my opinion that China Incs risk/reward profile is not yet where it needs to be for many of the corporations I serve. Too many executives associate globalization with lets go to China. In ... read more -
Let the debate begin!
by Esteban on Oct 23, 2007 - 12:25 PM read 698 times
Source: http://yourflatworld.wordpress.com/2007/10/23/let-the-deb...Well, at long last, I am entering the blogosphere, and now that I am here, I am not sure I know where to start. Globalization ignites many passions, including my own, so I will make my first post about some of the observations and interpretations that I hope to be discussing with you, the reader and fellow blogger, over the coming weeks and months. Globalization does not mean “read more
