Abstract
The purpose of this project is to evaluate different criteria taken into consideration when making outsourcing decisions and to investigate which countries can best accommodate various outsourcing projects. First, we examine the reasons for outsourcing and whether companies are outsourcing for the right desired outcomes. Then, we evaluate why and how China has become the country of choice for companies offshoring portions of their business activities. Lastly, we use the measures we develop to evaluate and predict the economic potential of several developing countries as destinations for outsourced business activities
