Synopsis

Offshoring and outsourcing have generated savings and controversial news coverage for companies. But these technologies aren't even close to being the real story. This book identifies two forces - dynamic specialisation and productive friction that show what firms must do to understand, build and exploit these forces before their competitors do.
