Abstrakty
Zmiany, których jesteśmy świadkami, są kluczowe dla gospodarki światowej. Nieustanne procesy globalizacyjne i zacieranie się granic pomiędzy poszczególnymi państwami umożliwiają przedsiębiorstwom działalność na niespotkaną dotąd skalę. Jednym z efektów integracji światowej ekonomii jest rosnące znaczenie możliwości offshoringowych i outsourcingu. Przedsiębiorstwa działające w wielu sektorach są w stanie podzielić swoje łańcuchy wartości na mniejsze części. Ten zabieg pozwala na zmniejszenie zależności od stricte utartej ścieżki, dając możliwości zmiany lokalizacji oraz całej strategii procesowej. Offshoring, bazujący na technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnej, przeżywa teraz swój rozkwit. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie oraz podkreślenie jego znaczenia dla krajów rozwijających się, np. Polski, Czech czy - bardziej ogólnie - państw Europy Środkowej oraz BRIC. Wyjaśniono pojęcie offshoringu oraz kierunki jego rozwoju na przykładzie firm, które już go zastosowały, m.in. Apple, HP, IBM, Credit Suisse, Irevna, McKinsey & Co, Siemens, Google czy Microsoft. Zostały również uwypuklone zalety oraz wady offshoringu.(abstrakt oryginalny)
The changes we are witnessing have a crucial role in the nature of the global economy. Continuous globalization processes and the blurring of boundaries between countries allow businesses operate in a never seen before scale. One important effect of the increasing integration of the world economy is a rising importance of possibilities to offshore and outsource value-creating activities. In many industries, firms are able to disaggregate their value chains into smaller parts. This process allows for a less path-dependent approach to the firm's ideal location profile (through offshoring and relocation) and control strategies (through outsourcing). Undoubtedly, offshoring based on information and communication technology now experiences its heyday. The main aim of this article is to show importance of offshoring and foreign direct investments for developing countries such as Poland, Czech Republic, and more generally speaking the Middle Europe and BRIC area. The article explains the concept of offshoring and its prospects, giving examples of companies like Apple, HP, IBM, Credit Suisse, UBS, Irevna, McKinsey & Co., Siemens, Google and Microsoft. Offshoring advantages and disadvantages were highlighted.(original abstract)
