4.2.4 Offshoring
Off shoring is a term used when companies move their business or parts of their
business totally out of the country. According to Brown and Wilson (2005, p.ix)
offshoring, a kind of outsourcing is the term used to distinguish projects that are
being outsourced to overseas contractors. This could be by offshoring certain
departments for example IT or accounts. Offshoring is the transferring of jobs from
an organization in one country to an organization in another country (Hayes &
Ninemeier 2009, p.422). These jobs would be done by other people in other
countries. This saves money on personnel costs as the taxation and payment of
salaries in other countries can be lower in different parts of the world.
