2. Outsourcing is spliting service and manifacturing
activities into components.
3. India was good at having educated brains instead of
having plenty of natural resources such as mines,
energy etc.
4. The first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, is the man
who changed things a lot in India. He set up seven
Indian Institudes of Technology and most of the
successful students now do not have to move to US for
having a good job or opportunities.
5. This is followed by so many engineering schools since
1953. Also computer science, and software talent
increased.
6. Indian information technology began with General
Electric. At these years India’s economy were closed to
the outer world and they had a lot of employees
abroad.
7. Other big example of outsourcing happened in health
sector. Americans started to send files to the Indian
doctors as a zip file. Because of the 12 houred clock
difference the Indians were able to make a
transcription while the Americans sleeping.
8. The Y2K is a computer crises. It is about the timing
system of a computer. Some of the computers had this
time: 12/31/99. But the problem occured after the
milennium because all data may confuse with the
digiting of 01/01/00. Different management systems
from water to air traffic control were computerized
again.
10. India has involved to be the solution maker of that
problem and its teammate America because most of
the IT now settled in India as most of the qualified
people be.
11. Any service, call center, business support operation, or
knowledge work that could be digitized could be
sourced globally to the cheapest, smartest, or most
efficient provider.
12. Vivek Paul, the president of Wipro, the Indian
software giant had an irony on making a phone call in
India.
13. "I was working with a factory located in the
information technology park in Whitefield, a suburb
of Bangalore, and I could not get a local telephone line
between our office and the factory. Unless you paid a
bribe, you could not get a line, and we wouldn't pay. So
my phone call to Whitefield would go from my office
in Bangalore to Kentucky, where there was a GE
mainframe computer we were working with, and then
from Kentucky to Whitefield. We used our own fiber-
optic lease line that ran across the ocean-but the one
across town required a bribe.”
14. “India didn't benefit only from the dot-com
boom; it benefited even more from the dot-com bust!
That is the real irony.”
15. The boom laid the cable that connected India to the
world, and the bust made the cost of using it virtually
free and also vastly increased the number of American
companies that would want to use that fiber-optic
cable to outsource knowledge work to India.
16. India deserved all the success and business goes on
because;
The Indian companies were good and cheap
India was the only place with the volume of workers to
do it
India is one of the few places where you can find
surplus English-speaking engineers, at any price
