UK Outsourcing

The UK has actually a very small problem with outsourcing. According to ZD.net the UK has not lost jobs to the main countries that receive the outsourcing from the developed nations. There is much less of a change in the UK compared to the other major countries.

Overall, though it is few, the UK’s main spot to outsource jobs are to the US and the Ukraine. They would like to outsource to these countries if anywhere because companies are finding that the cost/benefit ratio of outsourcing is actually decreasing and becoming negative. With most of the public the general trend of customer service and the quality are decreasing, which is not saving the companies money and they should just stay on home shores. That is why when jobs are outsourced the UK is going to countries they are picking ones that are more efficient like the US. Japan has shown the same trend as the UK that if they are going to outsource it is going to be to a place where the quality of the product or service is going to be of the very highest and that is at the US. Outsourcing is becoming much more ineffective at saving the companies money, so I think in time the amount of outsourcing will actually decrease much more, rather than increase.
