Offshoring Evolving at a Rapid Pace, Report Duke University and The

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: offshoring study From: "Donna Schulman" <donna.schulman(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, August 12, 2009 4:14 pm To: "Eugene McElroy" <sagauro(a)rci.rutgers.edu> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The number of U.S. companies with an offshoring strategy has more than doubled from 2005 to 2008 and very few plan to relocate activities back to the United States, according to Duke Offshoring Research Network's fifth annual report on offshoring trends, published in collaboration with The Conference Board. Last year, more than 50 percent of companies had a corporate offshoring strategy in place, up from 22 percent in 2005. Sixty percent of companies currently offshoring say they have aggressive plans to expand existing activities. The report also confirms the globalization of innovation -- the major finding of last year's report -- is continuing at an increased rate in all areas of industry. Speed to market and the domestic shortage of science and engineering talent are two key drivers for offshoring projects.

This story was sent to you by: eugene mcelroy -------------------- With jobs harder to find, work gets easier for Army recruiters -------------------- Traditionally the Army has attracted the young. But as the number of jobs dwindles across the country, more Americans are enlisting later in life, drawn by the promise of steady work and benefits.
