August 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The whole world’s attention is glued to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing where nations cheer as their athletes compete with other athletes to achieve the rare, golden prestige.
Nations, their athletic representatives, compete with each other to bring home the gold.
Seems familiar?
There are comparisons that can be noted between the current situation of outsourcing business with the modern Olympic Games which has been around for 108 years.

Today’s global fuel crisis is affecting how business is done in a bad way.
As fuel costs rise, so does the cost of living for any individual residing and working in a major metropolitan area– enterprises have to attend to their employees’ pleas for salary increase, as well as attend to costs in materials, transportation, facilities and power costs.

The world’s shrinking, in a manner of speaking.
If we look at the trend of end-products of technological advancement, we could almost say that the size that matters is small.
And it’s not only our gadgets that are getting smaller. The way we live, the way we work, the way we can do business is being refined to a point where we can do more with less effort. Doing small things can lead to big results.
Much in the same way how small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as private individuals are doing what the big firms and multinational companies can do, to draw on the talents and skills of the human resources from any corner of the planet through the Internet.
Welcome to the age of Myself, Co. and Yourself, Inc.,—-the one-man (and one-woman) multinationals.

Outsourcing – The Dragon and Tiger of Asia

Ancient Taoist philosophy holds that the World is made of two opposing yet equivalent forces that are locked in an eternal, dynamic struggle to dominate each other. Through this, matter is made solid yet movement is fluid, change is constant yet there are things that can resist change.
The Taoist philosophers signified these two forces, one as the Tiger and the other force the Dragon. It appears pre-ordained that these two representations, the Tiger and the Dragon, are the national symbols of two nations who are the dynamic powers that impact and influence the business world of outsourcing: China and India.
