On a global basis today, outsourcing nearly accounts for 300 billion dollars in turnover.
According to Forrester Research 3.3 million U.S. jobs and U.S. wages for 136 billion dollars are expected to instead end up in countries like India, China, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan and Vietnam during the period until 2015.
Outsourcing is today perhaps the world's fastest growing industry! And definitely one of the strongest incentives of national and regional economy change.
The digital world has resulted in that outsourcing does not only include payroll and similar services. Today, most services within an enterprise can be managed by any country. The result will be a huge competition in the future between the different countries.
