Notice something about all those kids? They live in AMERICA. Cultural context does matter. I was working for a company a few years ago and the president read Tom's damn book. Without any input or understanding of how software is made he bought me a plane ticket and said go open an office in India. It turned into a two year long clusterfuck. All of this outsourcing bullshit would be more credible if it came from someone who actually wrote code and not some jackass in his manhattan penthouse.
I'm all for importing great talent- it's one of the reasons the US has been so successful. But that's completely different from his overplayed world-is-flat delusion.
- marshallp 17y agoEver considered that you're just a bad manager? When you outsource to another country you have to change your tactics and communication style. The fact that you failed at outsourcing is more indicative of your refusal to smarten up than anything else.
- wisty 17y agoOr perhaps the president's a bad manager. If you send a manager off to another country to implement build a new team and implement a strategy that they think is doomed ... words fail me.
