Issue with outsourcing data

There is a lot of buzz going on out sourcing.

People think out sourcing is to reduce cost.
It would have been a lot 20 years back but over a period of time if we think the costs in the outsourced country have gone up high.

Secondly the reason to outsource has always been in my opinion the number of people you get to work in the outsourced country and the drive people have to work. In the modern world people talk about how to make people work and how to get young people educated. But in the out sourced world it more about getting the right opportunities, looking ahead and working towards upliftment of the individual.

In my opinion what is the most difficult thing in outsourcing is trying to understand different culture and how different culture's would work together to a common goal.

In my opinion country like UK/ US which is open and straight forward, communication will be much more clear. But country like India/ Korea/ China saying "no" to some assigned task is not a preference. This is the culture and knowing different cultures and working together is a challenge in my opinion.
