Outsourcing and globalization of manufacturing allows companies to reduce costs, benefits consumers with lower cost goods and services, causes economic expansion that reduces unemployment, and increases productivity and job creation.

In the long run, outsourcing is another form of trade that benefits the U.S. economy by giving us cheaper ways to do things.

The other part of outsourcing is this: it simply says where the work can be done outside better than it can be done inside, we should do it.

Outsourcing is inevitable, and I don't think it's necessarily treating people like things.

Will the industry outsource more? I think it depends on the client base.

If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you're putting yourself out of business.

Globalisation has powered economic growth in developing countries such as China. Global logistics, low domestic production costs, and strong consumer demand have let the country develop strong export-based manufacturing, making the country the workshop of the world.

Reliable data on the outsourcing of American jobs is sorely missing from the debate on globalization.

Outsourcing was the bogeyman of the '90s. Protectionists portrayed it as an evil that would take American jobs away. Yes, some jobs did go offshore as people feared, but it made the global economic pie grow bigger.

And just remember, every dollar we spend on outsourcing is spent on U.S. goods or invested back in the U.S. market. That's accounting.
