Audience Questions

How did the content change?

In general I did not have a lot of content so I added a lot of information.


How did the form change?

My QRG is much smoother since I actually have text to flow together.

The primary goal of almost every business is to maximize its profits; and reducing the amount of money it spends is arguably the best way a business can maximize profit. This is one of the primary reason why businesses are now outsourcing some of their jobsSimply put, its cheaper to outsource something than to have it done domestically and when you are trying to maximize profits, the cheaper option is usually the best.

One thing that makes outsourcing cheaper is labor cost reduction. The standard of living in countries that are outsourced to tends to be lower than that of the outsourcing country. This allows the company to pay workers lower wages since living there is cheaper than domestically. For example, an engineer in India would earn about $5,000 - $7,500 however in America, that same position would earn $50,000 to $75,000 (Mierau). This stark difference is why India is one of the leading countries jobs are being outsourced to.  "Businesses not only save on payroll taxes and employee benefits, but also save on the direct salaries and hourly wages (Ashe-Edmunds)." Furthermore, the lower labor cost allows the company to lower its prices and beat out the prices of competitors which in-tern increases the sales of the company as a whole.
