OFFSHORING: IS IT A WIN-WIN GAME?
McKinsey Global Institute: PERSPECTIVE
The business practice of offshoring promises large
rewards for companies and the benefits of jobs created
for destination countries is well documented. But MGI
argues that important and tangible benefits go both ways.

When, Where, How, and Other Questions on Going Offshore:
http://www.mckinsey.com/knowledge/articles/going_offshore.asp
Pricing new products:
Companies habitually charge less than they could for
new products, especially with revolutionary offers.
Underestimating a product's value can be a costly mistake,
since the introductory price often fixes its worth in
the buyer's mind.
