Ripley's Believe it or Not Outsourcing

Hello peeps today let's talk about some business concept from a light hearten perspectives, today I'm going to talk about "Outsourcing". Alright please don't be scare by this particular word which to many Americans are probably would be as bad as the F word.I must admit that from the developed world point of view outsourcing has been pretty much more of a curse to the middle class segment, this particular word has plagued many with fear of changes, job insecurity, and ultimately obsolescent. However on the contrary it is a blessing to other half of the planet, without
this tidal force of change and the great Y2K meltdown , the poor in the countries like India and China would never going to have a chance in their living day light to pursue that cheap American dreams of MTV and Levi's.
Alright I'm not here to bored you all with high school course on Globalization , which everybody who have glance into the very concept.
We all know that if you want something done with the lowest margin possible from HD-TV to customer services, the underdeveloped world from Suchaoz all the way to Bangalore will be more than happy to accept it. Though many jobs are pretty much mundane, some can be quite trivial and just plain bizarre-even down right disturbing. This shouldn't be a surprise to you all that once the Outcourcee themselves figured out that their are plenty of "bitch work" available for them to takeover. There is nothing, even the legal ramification can stop them from chasing that US Dollars.
What else could obstruct the Wild West business practice, unlimited bandwidth allowance courtesy of the American investors and Global Crossing fibre-optics's dot-com bust plunder? It's all about leveling the "playing field" and kicking ass and taking name "BollyTech" style. So Kirk Sato did a little researching and found "Ripley's Believe it or Not" Outsourcing.


Ripley's Believe it or Not Outsourcing

Wombs


Outsourcer: Infertile wanna be mom
Outsourcee: Young women in India rent their uteri to incubate the test tube-bred fetuses of couples from US, Britain and Singapore. It costs as little as $3,500, man a set of rims cost more than this little bundle of joy


Prayers


Outsourcer: Catholic Church
Outsourcee: Churchgoers can request with some donation of course, a special mass which will be e-mail to India and get mass prayer rolling. A priest there collects the donation and proceed the mass in their native toungue. Hey you can never be to sure which language would reach the Lord the fastest.

Games:


Outsourcer: Lazy gamers
Outsourcee: In the sweat shop style setup with computer crammed low wage slaves from Romania to China, thousnads of people glued their face to World of Warcarft and Lineage for 12 hours + a day. Basically from building up avatars to enchaning character level by repetitive plays. Who can't be bothered to slog through the games' tedious
space monkey work


Kirk Sato 's Believe it or Not Outsourcing

Companionship:


Outsourcer: Lonely growing population of Chinese and India males
Outsourcee: Prostitutes from Russia and Thailand:
The traditional custom of female infanticide which has been conducted for over decades now has a severe consequence on this two roaring nations. Despites the econimic success that both countries will enjoy in the later half of the 21st century. Soon enough both India and China will face a severe shortage in female population to maintain a healthy balance of sustainable work replacement workforce. Well if they want to cure that impending crisis just outsource the compannionship to these countries and you sure will be heal both physically and mentally.


War:


Outsourcer:The axis of Empire- 7 Nation permanent members of the UN Council

Outsourcee:Terrorist networks and rouge nations- Hey no matter how you might disagree with this but who was the one who finance Osama ? in the way this is not new to the geopoltical arena. However the president Bush has rebrand this form of outsourcing into the "War on Terror" . If you can create the biggest services running the world on its edge call "war". So who is the selling the tools for the outsourcee such as WMD ? The biggest pimp on the planet the President of US of A himself.

Not only outsourcing would be the buzz word of early 21st century globalization process, also I do believe that ultimately it is not about the threat of losing job to some distant land. However many fail to realize the classical theory of "Comparative Advantage", to many economist this particular concept might deal with trade of good among nations. With the advent of the internet and instant communication, the very theory itself now cover the emergence of intangible product such as outsourcing. If you can truly see the higher perspective of freeing up inefficient local capital investment and embracing new innovations, you all shall see the outweigh benefit the whole world will receive from letting some body else take care of your bitch work....
