Part Two Off-shoring
Canadian Industry Punching Out – Stronger Dollar and Low-cost Alternatives are sending Jobs Offshore – G&M Jan23, 2004 • Nortel – 1500 jobs • Levis Strauss & Company – 1200 jobs • Bauer Nike Hockey – 321 jobs • Camco (refrigerators & stoves) – 800 jobs • Roots – 200 jobs • Swift Denim – 600 jobs • International - Multi-foods – 135 jobs • Canam Manac (truck trailers) – 245 jobs
Is Your Job Next? • By 2015 – roughly 3.3 million U.S. business processing jobs will have moved offshore • U.S. service jobs lost to offshoring will increase at a rate of 30% to 40% over next five years • Software developers - $60/hr in U.S. vs $6/hr in India
Offshoring’s Value to India Benefit per $1 of U.S. off-shore Spending in 2002 • Offshoring Sector Labour 0.10 Profits 0.10 • Local Suppliers 0.09 • Government Taxes Central 0.03 State 0.01 • Net Benefit $0.33
Exploding the Myths of Offshoring – Mckinsey June 2004 Benefits to NA • Corporate savings • Deal for consumers • Additional exports • Repatriated profits • Productivity & new jobs??? • Challenge – address those displaced in the transition
Don’t Blame Trade for US Job Losses – Mckinsey 2005 • 2.85 mil manufacturing jobs lost in US during 2000-2003 Why? • 11% or 314,000 due to trade – offshore imports • Real contributor – weak domestic demand, rapid productivity growth, dollar’s strength which hurt exports • Solutions – stimulate domestic demand, cut deficit,push countries with artificially cheap currencies to appreciate against the US$, trade-adjustment-assistance programs
Another Concern – Innovation Blowback • Wal-Mart stores imports from China – 1% of GDP – company is helping Chinese manufacturers target shoppers in US & Europe • Citigroups Chinese M&A unit – outbound deals make up lion share of its pipeline • Western companies serving low-income customers in emerging markets are using that experience to address needs of value segments in developed markets
Product & Process Innovation to Address Broader Emerging Market Needs • Production-driven modularity – process networks – e.g., motorcycles • Customer-driven modularity – Cummins engines/generators • Process-driven services – Aravind Eye Care System in India • Key message to Westerners – if you are participating in the mass-market segment of emerging economies, you are not developing the capabilities you will need to compete at home
Summary • FDI importance & impact • Stakeholders involved & perspectives • Negotiations & Deal Structuring • Off-shoring – strategic fit, economic impact – micro & macro • Next Day – China seminars
