The author states that global outsourcing has a number of advantages – it enables companies to reduce cost of operation, it establishes a parallel economy and provides income for developing companies, it enables companies to tap into the cheap labor resources and enables them to capture new markets and to serve their customers better.

However, the author states that global marketing also has certain disadvantages – it exposes the business structure and strategies of the companies and it also prevents the companies from controlling the outsourced activity. It also contributes to the loss of future talent. The author writes about outsourcing to different countries versus outsourcing to local (domestic) business.
