Who Is This Book For ? Small Players Save Your Money
10 July 2011
Format:Paperback
I was expecting some useful information
I received less than zero as my pocket was picked
I run an operation with approx 15 outsourced employees
There was not one solitary useful piece of information - not one tip that related to me
It may be that this book was meant for a planning committee of a large corporation that wants to outsource is most concerned about integrating systems , and accounting into their own enterprise
There was not one solitary piece of useful information in this book to me that would justify its cost
I was ripped off
Even in the index - what i was say are the most important points to a small person or operation outsourcing there were not topics on interest

Pre-Crisis view of outsourcing
10 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
This book is like a time capsule, written as it was in 2008, before "offshoring" became a pejorative in the national consciousness. There is no reference in the book to the fact that any company looking to outsource operations abroad is thereby contributing to our national decline, as yet more jobs exit the country, without any new ones being created. While it is true that the macroeconomic questions are not part of the scope of the book, it would be an unforgivable omission had the book been written in 2012.
And as for the "how to" content, it's pretty lightweight.

Very Informative
4 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
As with most 'Dummies' guides this book is laid out very well, and is easy to use especially as a reference book to outsourcing.
Outsourcing is a field that I'm comparatively new to, and I use [...] to outsource various types of work due to its low cost, ease of use and access to a massive workforce
This book illuminates the way forward for those starting in Outsourcing; and my advice would be to go to [...] and try for yourself, to see outsourcing from both sides of the fence, but also to use this book as a guide.
I can see that it would also provide invaluable information to anyone already involved with Outsourcing
