From the Paper:

"Every part of business from production to design, software development, logistics management, financial regulation, customer support as well as sales are influenced by outsourcing. Outsourcing of the professional services is a significant instance of a new kind of trade. When a good or service is manufactured at lesser cost in a foreign country, it makes logic to import it instead of manufacturing it locally. This makes way for the United States to allocate its assets for more industrious purposes. It is expected that outsourcing market will increase enormously with more number of companies preparing to outsource both low end as well as high-end work to offshore places. Furthermore the number of companies offering outsourcing services is increasing, thereby ensuring in greater variety."
