In these tough economic times do you guys think that CEO's would look to cut costs to weather the storm resulting in companies like accenture and other outsourcing market leaders reaping the benefits???

Good point Ray..I am joining ACN outsourcing in the middle of the next week and the HR can still not cnfirm the joining details stating that every one is over busy and they are trying their best so I do think that ACN has got a lot on their plate within outsourcing already and it seems it would only get better for them with the present mkt situation..

Well we have sold our manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries, we dont make cars, have no engineering base and now cant even sell houses to each other.Suggest we get people to do all our jobs cheaper, but hold on we done that years ago...Oh Managers, and consultants you say...Well why not the workforce is in India, why not the management :)Hope you not joining as a PM :), wont be long till your looking for another job with those sought after PM talents....
