"Instead of complaining about outsourcing, said Rajesh, Americans and Western Europeans would be 'better off thinking about how you can raise your bar and raise yourselves into doing something better.' ...'My message is that what's happening now is just the tip of the ice-berg... What is really necessary is for everybody to wake up to the fact that there is a fundamental shift that is happening in the way people are going to do business. And everyone is going to
have to improve themselves and be able to compete. It is just going to be one global market.'"
Quoted in The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman
Even if Americans are anti-outsourcing, the fact is that it just doesn't matter as much anymore what Americans think. The world is changing into a global marketplace whether we like it or not. For those who can change and learn, this is actually a tremendous opportunity.
