<p>Too risky, doesn't maximize net benefits. Companies don't play with dice... they're very conservative in how they play the market. Firing all your workers and hiring a new batch of Indians isn't a good idea, just like a candy company throwing out all the candy apples for licorice isn't a good idea.</p>
<p>from what I can tell, it seems it WOULD maximize the benefits.
how is it risky?</p>
<p>No company would throw out tried and tested employees for 10x as many employees they had never seen before, never worked with before, and frankly had no idea how qualified they were. A company with 1000 workers would be too small to manage 100,000 Indian workers, anyway; this doesn't change if you have a big company, either... say, 1,000,000 workers. Well, what would that company do? Hire 10,000,000 Indians instead?</p>
<p>The point is that outsourcing is an economic tool, a good thing for reducing waste. It's like the ramen noodle of engineering. If you can get by with ramen a few meals a week, you save money. Start eating only ramen and things might not turn out so well.</p>
<p>Some of these ramen are actually cheaper, better tasting and healthier than your home cooked bacon which contains lots of fat, don't you think? so maybe it's a good idea to remove those greasy bacons and replace them with ramen. Of course you should keep the best fillet mignon and lobster in your freezer and not replace them with ramen :p</p>
<p>This thread is now about Ramen noodles.</p>
<p>lol i like the analogy about Ramen noodles.</p>
