Jonathan,
I dont know what kind of experience you have working abroad.
I worked for them for 3 years in Mexico, and it was not until an American
Manager was sent down to get things fixed, after firing 75% of the "work" force
(in my department), that things changed.
Then when the manager's contract ended and left, things reverted back to the old
way, and even worsened.
We will see if outsourcing works better this time around, as I said,
Mexico will present a series of problems that have may not been forseen.
A plastic mafia monopoly, unions, racketeering, and a country that is shifting
from production to distribution of assembled goods.
