I know I had posted my opinion earlier but I would like to expound on this subject just a little more.  Many feel outsourcing is new, but I think what is new is the fact that outsourcing has now moved across global boundaries.  Many small businesses have been used as the outsourced partners of large businesses for a long time.  Our company would not existed for 25 years if large companies had not sent us the outsource business we have received.  So how can I say outsourcing could be bad if my company exists because of we receive it?  I think the real issue is how important our jobs, life styles and economy are to each of us here in the county where we live.  When we decided to send jobs and money over seas, do we make sure they return the favor?  I feel that outsourcing is good as long as it improves the bottom line and does not harm, or better yet even improves, our economy.  Right now I feel there is an imbalance that is getting worse and we need to consider all aspects of the consequences our decisions both in short term and long term.  This is true of even small businesses….
