The offshore nation is neither a country nor a region, states the book by Atul and Avinash Vashistha, co-founders of neoIT. The authors believe it is a world of buyers and sellers of services, linked by a desire for higher productivity, lower costs and matching supply with demand.

Though globalization has been around for more than a decade now, there are still certain myths that plague the best of customers. The authors list a few down, like services globalization adding risk to the organization, offshore suppliers using slave labor and offshoring being poor synonymous with quality. The Offshore Nation categorizes the various factors that catalyze the offshoring decision, and delves into the different offshoring models that the market has seen including direct supplier, build-operate-transfer and captive. With interesting case studies and a complete perspective on the offshoring decision from evaluation to decision-making and post implementation, the book is a useful resource.
