Outsourcing work from American companies to foreign workers is not a new phenomenon in the US. The "first wave" of outsourcing to foreign countries hit the American economy in the late 1980s. However, in recent years, even white-collar jobs have begun to move overseas in a process known as the "new wave" of outsourcing. In the latest wave of outsourcing, a new trend has begun to emerge: US companies and law firms have begun outsourcing domestic legal work to foreign attorneys. In August 2006, the New York City Committee on Professional and Judicial Ethics took the first step in evaluating how outsourcing legal work affects a lawyer's duty to prevent the unauthorized practice of law, supervise the work and ethics of subordinate lawyers and non-lawyers, maintain client confidentiality, av...
The subject of outsourcing, A-76 studies and strategic sourcing are familiar terms in government and business.

The following article provides examples of "field structuration" that contribute to the perpetuation of these forms of procurement practice. Literature research, interviews and participation as a contracts management professional provided input to the article.

Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this Essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers’ and law professors’ preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.

The question of offshore outsourcing has evolved into one of the most controversial management issues of the 21st century. The question is interspersed with numerous economic and political controversies, but it is widely believed to be a natural and benevolent feature of globalization that is beneficial to all participants. Based on this misconception, many companies have explored the opportunities in emerging countries, where inexpensive skilled labor might give rise to cost savings and productivity. By discussing the origin and trends in offshore outsourcing, this paper reveals that the financial benefits of these business arrangements are highly overrated. Furthermore, these activates convey consequential risks that are detrimental to American business, technological capabilities, an...

As Vietnam emerges into world markets, Vietnamese organizations are facing the predicament of how to avoid the low-cost labor trap and move up the production value-chain by improving quality and productivity. Continuous improvement (CI) practices have proved fundamental to building and sustaining competitive advantage in other Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. If Vietnamese organizations are to pursue higher value-added activities, CI will be critical for them, too. Despite the tremendous interest in Vietnam from the international business community, little research on Vietnamese management practices has been done, particularly on the use of CI techniques. The language barrier, lack of reliable business data, and the culture of government and corporate secrecy in V...

In the United States, outsourcing largely entails the transferal of certain technology-based jobs - such as computer programming, technical support services, data processing and manning call centers - that used to be handled domestically to countries like India, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Slovakia and Poland, where the same jobs can be done less expensively. Firms outsource through two main methods. Large organizations, such as IBM and Citigroup, tend to buy internationally based business process outsourcing (BPO) providers and use them to replace their own business process departments. Smaller firms generally lack the resources to buy their own BPO providers, so they instead hire the services of one as a third-party contractor. There are two layers of risk analysis to be considered wi...

In recent years foreign direct investment in developing nations has come under threat by government policies seeking to expropriate or nationalize the assets of foreign corporations. A variety of political and economic motivations have given rise to expropriation activities. This paper examines both the political, economic and legal basis underpinning these expropriation activities and outlines a corporate risk management strategy designed to confront these emerging political/economic threats.
