Bpo
Indian revenues from business process outsourcing (BPO) have grown 107% to $583 million. Key advantages of outsourcing to India include lower wages that can reduce costs by up to 80%, a large skilled English-speaking workforce, and government policies that have made India a major BPO hub. However, cultural differences, infrastructure issues, and rising costs also present challenges for companies considering Indian BPO providers. Managers must carefully evaluate their needs and potential BPO partners to maximize the benefits of focusing on core competencies while addressing any risks.
