Abstract:
The collapse of Argentina's currency in January 2002 helped it become a very cost-effective global outsourcing destination. By 2004, Argentina emerged as a competitor to the Indian IT firms in the global outsourcing market, capitalising on a wide pool of educated, multilingual population, good telecom infrastructure and low wages. Buenos Aires began to compete with Bangalore for the 'most preferred outsourcing destination' tag.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To compare and contrast the inherent capabilities of India and Argentina as global outsourcing destinations.
