Inside Outsourcing - How Remote Work Offshoring and Global Employment Is Changing the World

Derek Gallimore

Synopsis

OUTSOURCING IS THE BAD BOY OF BUSINESS, blamed for poor quality, unethical salaries, inhumane conditions, and even the ruination of industrialized economies. Yet, Apple, Google, JP Morgan, and almost every Fortune 500 company outsources, and the industry is growing at breakneck speed.

Hiring an offshore team can save a company 70% on its staffing costs and offer previously unimaginable access to a near-infinite pool of 2 billion highly qualified professionals. It's a game changing proposition for businesses.

Globalization and technology are connecting the world's 8 billion people into one single online economy. For three decades, the outsourcing industry was a sleeping giant, generating $200 billion annually, and employing tens of millions of people, but mostly invisible to the traditional economy.

Now, the giant is waking. Only recently has outsourcing become an option for small and medium-sized businesses. Previously, due to technological limitations, it was the exclusive domain of the big multinational conglomerates. Many smaller businesses have now heard of offshoring, but few really understand its full potential or how it can be applied to their company.

What does outsourcing really mean for the typical business, entrepreneur, or manager? Should they embrace this movement or run from it? Is outsourcing really the devil incarnate or a misunderstood force for good? Will it cause the downfall of economic stability in the West or catalyze humanity's next step-change in prosperity and innovation?

Inside Outsourcing takes a deep dive into the origin of outsourcing, its current state, and likely future. It explores the high-level concept, drills down into the mechanics, offers clear insights for its practical application, and provides actionable advice for businesses of all sizes exploring its potential.

This book is a must-read if you don't want to miss this game-changing opportunity.

Quickly Become a Human Lie...

Zane Rozzi

Learn the new state-of-the-art techniques for detecting deception used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Very importantly, you'll also learn how to apply the tools and techniques to detect lies over the phone and in text messages and emails. 
In addition to defending yourself against deception, we'll also discuss the tools and techniques in this book from the opposite perspective - for those times you need to be an effective liar and guard against having your deception detected by others. 
We'll also discuss: 
- Simple signs someone could be lying to you: Body language, verbal indicators, speech patterns, word choice, hand gestures, facial expressions, physiological responses, and much more.  
- The ways you can question people to trap them in a lie or make their lies blatantly stand out.  
- The classic 9-step 'Reid Technique' used in most police interrogations so you know not only how to apply it when talking to others, but also how to guard against it and stay out of jail.  
- The flaws in the polygraph lie detector and how people beat it. 
- How groups of people trying to deceive you sabotage themselves, and the rest of the group, by unintentionally making common errors that make lies clearly stand out, even when they're standing right next to their friends. 
People unknowingly reveal much more information than they planned to through their word choice, so we'll also cover the ways you can read between the lines of what was said to learn more than they planned to share. You'll be amazed at what you can learn, and you'll gain significant advantages.  
You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.
