Comment on The Real Reason Outsourcing Continues To Fail

Comments

I'm not sure if I agree with the article.

However, I'm going to add some anecdotal evidence about the differences in cultures: when some coworkers interacted with Mexico, they would often say "ahorita mismo" (right now) when they meant "sometime in the future"... if you didn't know what they'd do, you'd have been very disappointed (stuff they said they'd do "right now" got delayed very often).

Haha, reminds me of a time in Croatia. A friend told me about a guy I would be working with. He said, "If he tells you it will be done in five minutes, that means he isn't going to do it."
