Technology companies tend to go abroad quickly to grow revenues, secure market share, and gain access to low-wage knowledge workers. As a result, this borderless industry challenges companies to manage a global work force, currency risks, technology transfers, and global supply chains, all while being able to respond to different relationships with governments and regulators.
Offshore outsourcing to lower costs makes technology companies vulnerable to supplier financial instability, intellectual property breaches, legal and regulatory risk, labour and social issues, insufficient and ineffective supply chain control procedures, and environmental issues.
