| Popis: | Offshoring can be an excellent strategy to reduce costs, particularly through lower labour costs. But there are many other hidden costs that companies often fail to include in their business case. Research has found that offshoring is often carried out by western European companies with little or no understanding of the true costs. They also tend to overestimate the benefits, in particular the ability to get a well-performing plant operating offshore to European standards. To accurately understand the impact of offshoring, companies need to analyse total costs and identify the challenges that have to be overcome. |
