The recent rise of offshoring in the service sector has generated debates and concern in Canada, and, particularly, in the United States. This article explores the policy implications of this phenomenon, and its impact on trade politics. What is offshoring? How politically salient is this phenomenon? How does it affect Canada-US economic relations? On the whole, the effect of services offshoring on employment in the two countries is unlikely to be very substantial. Although a sizable proportion of the workforce in the two countries is likely to be affected, there are limits to the number of service jobs that can potentially be offshored, and the number of jobs that will effectively be offshored is likely to be relatively modest. Nonetheless, offshoring is likely to have important indire...

At a recent meeting of Mitel Networks shareholders, [Terence Matthews] spoke enthusiastically about the high quality and low cost of Pakistan's engineering pool. His comments surprised some shareholders familiar with Matthews' history of resisting offshoring trends. One wondered whether it was too late to take advantage. Matthews' discovery of Pakistan's labour pool could be part of a similar pattern. When the rest of the world has already set up shop in India, perhaps the only way to gain an offshoring advantage is to try a different country.

On one hand, if you're an employee, my bet is there are many times when you look at your leaders and quietly assess whether or not they really are as effective as they like to think they are. On the other hand, if you are a leader today, I know that you're struggling with all of those stressful organizational demands and trying to balance the other side of your life. I also suspect that more than once you've wondered just why you ever wanted such a role in the first place. That's a big part of the dilemma I believe we'll soon be facing. Not only will organizations be losing leaders to retirement, I'm betting that in the future, more and more pe...

The last time Maytag announced a recall of 2.3 million of its dishwashers (made by Samsung), Maytag set up a thorough website offering detailed information about the recall in the form of 25 questions and answers. This format answered all my questions. For the current Maytag recall, the number of Q&As available online is only seven questions. The seven questions and answers are also superficial. The following is an example: Often, questions are raised about whether outsourcing and offshoring result in poor quality goods, difficulties in fixing responsibility, and thus larger and slower recalls. Products made by Maytag in its own factories appear to take longer to recall -- nearly 49 months after they are first made and sold. Maytag products made by others, on the other hand, are rec...
