Although offshoring/outsourcing may easily seem like a very cost-effective transition for a firm to lean towards, there are many risks that come about when analyzing potentially negative impacts of the strategy.

Furthermore, ethical debate has been sparked for the profit firms gain from such extreme cuts in production costs when comparing with costs for the same job in the United States or when focusing on compliance or lack thereof safe labor practices in the developing countries. On one end, there could be a positive economic growth and development through a change in the country s specialization pattern and an improvement in firm s productivity. Firms then face the risks with an implication of high adjustment costs through unemployment or inequality. [...]
