Offshoring, Outsourcing, and LDR: what do they have in common?


So it’s final. Tulum(Cancun) and Shanghai, almost exact opposite side of the world. That’s what happened with globalization when the jobs can be anywhere. Couldn’t help thinking about what globalization has done to people--does it actually pull people closer or push people apart? It allows the people from all over the world to meet yet pulls people away from each other with opportunities. We, the generation G has gotten used to traveling, moving, and being an expatriate. It is to be perceived as something common and prevalent. Mobility, flexibility, and internationality have become requirements for professionals. Besides offshoring and outsourcing, perhaps another modern phenomenon has emerged as a bi-product of globalization: long distance relationship. Por la culpa de Globalization-it brought a venezulano and a chinita together in Barcelona but set them apart with opportunities in Cancun and Shanghai.
