Part Two Off-shoring
12
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
13
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
14
Is offshoring a good thing or not? For Canada?
15
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

Foreign Direct Investment’s Effect on Developing countries
22
Competition Boosts Productivity
23
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
24
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
25
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
26
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
27
