Finally, most Filipinos would be appauled at what Obama beleives in. He supports the most hanious forms of abortion, he thinks we can negotiate with terrorist, and thinks Christian value are listening to a preacher who utters hate.

Please tell us something that we DON’T know.

a local t-shirt company can also outsource when they can’t meet demand. send half their production run to be manufactured by someone else. they’ll only do that if on top of having someone else finish the production run, they’ll still make money.

outsourcing when discussed refers more to offshoring of the business processes on a more permanent basis that’s why some use it interchangeably. Since Obama was talking more about businesses going to other countries and jon was talking about software outsourcing, I thought I made it clear that I am talking about both.

traditionally what you are referring to is called sub-contracting which means the same but your example is on a less permanent basis. You do it only when orders are not met by the production capacity. What Jon and I are talking about is outsourcing on a more permanent basis and are more applicable on the back and front office activities of a business organization.

or example you *outsource* when you get a hosting company to run, manage, maintain and protect your email server.

is this more applicable on ASP, application service provider (ASP)?

I thank you for the clarification because many also associate BPOs to telemarketers and call centers when they aren’t.

When Obama was talking about companies that send jobs overseas, he is not merely talking about BPOs but businesses which transfer some of its business functions in other countries.

When I say in house…I am referring to those which finance, manage and control the whole operations.

The BPOs are US vendors. They contract business functions and offshore or send the businesses to
other countries.

So Obama is referring to those two types.

Please substantiate your assertions at least with premises. We don’t want brain farts here, we want the whole shitpile.

In the software development world we call this FUD. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. Useless fodder unless proven correct.

Also, Mr. Obama will destroy not only RP-US foreign relations but also diplomatic relationship with other countries. He’s a chavinist, xenophobic neoliberal American.

Puta Obama!!!

Only time will tell, I guess. No point on nitpicking on the man who is yet to have power. His Republican predecessor (who led us all to this deep pile of shit, if I may point out) is still boss, after all.
