Product Description
A day does not pass without a newspaper report about yet another company that has started outsourcing technology or other business processes to India. Managers across the world are beating a path to India because it is the global leader for offshore IT-enabled services. Many corporate leaders seek to reduce their costs. Many seek to improve service quality, but not many understand India on their first visit and some are confused by clashes of culture. This book aims to introduce India, the major players in the Indian service industry, the reasons why you should utilise India as an offshore outsourcing destination and the steps you need to take to find and work with a local partner. This book advises you on who is important, where they are and what they are doing in India. It will help you to avoid cultural clashes and smooth over the traumatic transition period once you decide outsourcing to India is the right strategic decision for your company.

By Suzee Foster (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outsourcing to India: The Offshore Advantage (Hardcover)
The best way to understand the value of India as the preferred offshoring destination is to see it in action. The second best way is to read this book. It helps save time from wondering or worrying about perceived issues with sage and swift guidance. Current, clear and constructive insights. Even the most savvy practioner will benefit.

The best intro to India and outsourcing,
By James Minter "James Minter" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outsourcing to India: The Offshore Advantage (Hardcover)
This book is especially useful for those managers who have little or no experience of India, because it gives some background info on India before talking about outsourcing. It would be useful airport reading on the way to Bangalore!
