Chapter Chapter 3 in The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring, 2009, pp 30-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the maturity of various geographical locations worldwide and the factors that clients and suppliers take into account when deciding on their offshoring and offshore outsourcing strategies. We focus on the following aspects: the comparative advantages of different countries; why certain countries dominate certain areas of services; the advantages of nearshoring as a sourcing option; which countries emerge as the most attractive destinations for offshoreoutsourcing and offshoring (beyond Brazil, Russia, India, and China).
