Wulf, President, National Academy of Engineering:
yIf
[managers] can get comparable talent at 1/5th the cost in India, and
if the start-up cost is small, and if the cost stays
small, and if the productivity per unit cost is high enough, and if
they can manage from 10,000 miles and 12 times zones away – then they will outsource, and
they should!
yThe
problem is the nation’s access to engineering talent;
and it is not the individual manager in an individual
company that is responsible for solving that
problem.
