Comment on The Real Reason Outsourcing Continues To Fail

Comments

The author doesn't test his hypothesis, by comparing the success rate of outsourcing to a low PDI country.

An excellent point. As soon as I work for/with someone who outsources to one, I'll follow up. :)

No need. This kind of stuff happens even to people working for the same company, in the same building, in low PDI countries.

Outsourced projects fail for exactly the same reasons that other projects fail. The difference, if there is one, is that outsourced projects are more often set up to copy the exact features that are practically guaranteed to lead to disaster.

That bring up an excellent point: is there a strong correlation between high-PDI countries and cheap outsourcing? Even more un-PC: is there a correlation with low-PDI and high-GDP?
