But it&#8217;s peanuts compared to the enormous <strong>gains in efficiency, productivity, quality, and revenues <\/strong>that can be achieved by fully leveraging offshore talent.<\/p>\n<p>[This is] a chance to turn around dying businesses, speed up their pace of innovation, or fund development projects that otherwise would have been unaffordable. More aggressive outsourcers are aiming to create <strong>radical business models <\/strong>that can give them an edge and change the game in their industries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting Businessweek special on the future of outsourcing, asking what are the pitfalls to avoid and what are the best practices to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,11,8],"tags":[15,507,26,335,336],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.martin-koser.de\/BMID\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
