Don't hire these consultants...

... they can't do a good lit search.

The results of offshoring have been known for some time: it works best for low priority, repetitive, standard work. This is no consolation to the people who lose their jobs, but it does put a rational limit on offshoring.

And R&D is not appropriately subject to outsourcing. For one thing a primary function of R&D is developing ideas of value to company profits. Of course you want the most detailed knowledge of your valuable idea to be thousands of miles away, in the hands of someone you never met who is working for a different company.

Idjuts!
