Bringing Business Back

This video piece on BBC's World News channel illustrates how emotionally loaded and contested the field of outsourcing is. It also highlights some of the unexpected unforeseen consequences of broad outsourcing strategies, in this case the seeming permanent loss of knowledge and skills from society.

A longer version (30") on BBC News Channel, the "Our World" programme, titled "Bringing Business Back" by reporter Natalia Antelava, flmed and edited by David Botti.
The video follows Antelava as she "travels across the US and to India to investigate whether the tide is turning on one of the biggest trends in globalisation - the outsourcing of work from the rich to the developing world."
