| Excerpt
from The Harvard Business Review - 'Serving the World's
Poor, Profitably':
“Companies realizing savings locating labor-intensive
functions such as call centers, marketing, and back-office
processing in developing areas. eg, the nearly 20 companies
that use www.OrphanIT.com's
affiliate-marketing services, provided via its telecenters
in India and the Philippines, pay 1/10 the going rate for
similar services in the US or Australia.
Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla describes the remote-services
opportunity this way: "I suspect that by 2010, we will
be talking about [remote services] as the fastest-growing part
of the world economy, with many trillions of dollars of new
markets created.". |
