Offshore outsourcing of business services: Threat or opportunity?

'Offshore outsourcing of business services - threat or opportunity?' was the theme of EMCC's first 2005 company network seminar in Tallinn, Estonia, on 17-18 March 2005. The seminar aimed to provide a better understanding of this growing phenomenon and what motivates leading companies to undertake such a practice. Four company case examples offered an insight into corporate management strategies associated with 'offshore outsourcing' and the implications for job losses and employment creation within the EU.
