-Where is the value in offshoring? -What are the key challenges and pitfalls for entrepreneurs using offshoring? -Are there key differences between offshoring in different countries and regions? -Which country is right for your enterprise: China, India or Russia? -Should you assemble your own offshoring team or work with an offshoring vendor?
