Why are countries in south-east Asia like Malaysia, the
Philippines and Singapore ranked so highly while Vietnam is
notably absent, despite the recent economic growth outlined in
the different study and analysis? 9.
Do you see such outsourcing as a top-down process (e.g.
international businesses contacting smaller contractors with the
aim of reducing costs) or as a bottom-up process (e.g.
contractors contacting international business with the aim of making profit)? 10.
After our lecture, do you see the outsourcing of business to
countries like India as exploitation of cheap labor by western
companies, or as an opportunity for economic development by India? 11.
What lasting effects might BPO have on the long-term economic
development of India and the social upward mobility of workers
engaged in outsourcing companies?
