Outsourcing is seen by many economists as a win-win situation but is not always so. It has lots of downsides that most of us can't possibly conceive and only have to leave it to time. The present major downside of outsourcing is the fact that policies of the first world nations like UK and US for outsourcing are nothing but sloppy. There is no fair playing ground for companies big and small and the only alternative that they are forced to believe is to outsource. Imagine the plight of an organization that is quite happy without outsourcing and feels the punch when the rival starts grabbing all the profits by lowering the price.All of us need services and that too at a lower cost. Here the products and services that come cheaper and with high quality get better sales that those with only quality. The concept of a fair playing ground is that an organization must not be affected much irrespective of the fact whether it wants to outsource or not. This is where the governments fail and this is where the fault lies.

Impact of Offshoring Jobs

With outsourcing the jobs are sure to go. The third world countries do get benefited because of this, but what about the people in the first world nations. They do feel unrest and no assurances are going to keep them from frowning about their precious job that was taken away. Here again the policies are to blame. Offshore outsourcing backlash on communities was bound to happen not because the jobs are getting outsourced, but because the way the jobs are being outsourced offshore today. People are not able to grasp the implications with a pinch of salt that is way too salty.

The Indian outsourcing market has seen a huge leap in the recent years with more and more companies making India their offshore outsourcing destination. The competition for a share in the offshore outsourcing market is heating up with most nations stepping up efforts to attract companies; but in the midst of all this India still seems to maintain its unique lure
