Outsourcing the CFO's Job Overseas? 12/09/2003 12:26 AM
I don't mean to sound all Philip Greenspun (blog), but why don't we see Big Companies outsourcing their CFOs to India or somewhere equally cheap and skilled? What's a CFO, really? The head accountant, bean counter, number cruncher, etc? A growing number of financial analysis jobs are being moved overseas, so why not CFOs? Think of the cash savings! Last time I checked, large corporations pay their CFOs several hundred thousand dollars per year as a base salary. And at...

An overseas view of INDUCE act (aka
INSANE act)

An overseas view of INDUCE act (aka
INSANE act) 06/28/2004 11:35 AM
Ernest Miller says:

Dr. Karl-Friedrich Lenz, a professor at Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan, has a different perspective on the INDUCE Act. Of course, there must be something wrong with his translation, as Dr. Lenz believes the Act is named the "Intentionally Stopping Advances of the Nation's Economy," or INSANE Act. Anyway, he is not nearly as opposed to it as many commentators here in the US:

First of all, while it might be true that this legislation will help to make America a technological backwater, with iPods and the Internet being illegal under this legislation, depending on your perspective, that is actually a good thing. It helps Europe and Japan in the global competition with America to have strange American laws strangling research and development there, so from an international point of vie w, I can only say "go ahead".

Lenz notes that the law could use some improvements, and if these improvements were made, then, "it might be better than the Japanese approach of just arresting creators and sort out later if it was actually illegal what they did."

Amazon Investigated For Shipping CDs

Amazon Investigated For Shipping CDs
Overseas 01/07/2004 06:34 PM
A friend of mine once pointed out to me that, on certain CDs that are quite difficult or expensive to get in the US, if you log in to Amazon's UK site, you can get them much cheaper. Of course, it looks like some folks in the UK do the same for getting overseas CDs and now Amazon is being investigated for breaking copyright law by shipping overseas CDs to the UK. The complaint here, is that Amazon is importing cheaper versions of CDs from Asia, undercutting local prices. While the court may very well rule against them, this is basic arbitrage that is happening on a global scale thanks to the easy exchange of both information and product across global borders. It's going to become increasingly difficult for anyone to try to sell the same exact product for different prices in different markets - no matter what the courts decide.

Is It Illegal To Order A Movie From
Overseas? 12/17/2003 01:13 PM
Earlier this week, we had the story of Miramax sending out threatening letters to a movie review site that simply linked to a site that used to sell movies that had been released in Asia, but not in the US. So, now, Wired News is exploring the tricky legal question of whether or not you're allowed to buy foreign DVDs of movies not released in the US. The conclusion is that you can probably buy a single copy for personal use. Maybe. You can't, however, sell it anywhere. So, if you go into a store, and they offer films (or, I imagine, music) that were released for sale outside of this country, it could be illegal to buy them. Apparently, despite having this nice global economy we're all supposed to be a part of, intellectual property law still means you could be breaking the law if you are buying and selling products not from this country.

The Pentagon's decision to restrict international access to the government's official overseas voting-assistance Web site came under new scrutiny today, as intrepid Bush Administration watchdog Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., called on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to immediately reverse the policy. There's slim hope, though, that Rumsfeld will respond to Waxman's call; in the past, the Congressman's letters to Bush officials -- calling for, say, a more transparent reconstruction contracting process in Iraq, or for an investigation into the White House's misleading cost estimates on its Medicare reform bill -- have all gone unanswered.

Salaries?

U.S. Techies Working At Overseas
Salaries? 12/03/2003 02:39 PM
The issue of tech companies offshoring programming work is certainly a contentious one, and Business Week has an article talking about how one company dealt with the dilemma of saving 50% on salaries (vs. the standard asking price) by outsourcing to India or, instead, offering much lower salaries to American workers. The company found that they were flooded with resumes for the low paying job - many of which turned out to be high quality programmers. The company hired four programmers at the lower wages, and used them for the one project. Two of the programmers were eventually hired on as full-time employees at regular salaries. Of course, this sort of thing only works while the job market is weak, but does suggest that the market is correcting somewhat for boom-time salaries that were out of proportion with reality. Still, I take issue with the "obvious" choice, as described in the article, of going with cheaper overseas workers. I think that the benefits of having local, on-site staff who you can communicate with directly is quite valuable - often in excess of the amount of money "saved" in offshore salaries. In this case, the employer only valued the location at $5,000/year - which is much less than it's probably worth. The risk in offering salaries that are so low is that you may get lower quality workers who are much more likely to jump ship. However, in this case, it's clear that the employer realized this, and appears to have made his reasons clear to the employees - and, in fact, adjusted the salaries well upwards for the employees he wanted to keep. This all brings to mind the whole concept of "professional internships" that seem to become popular when the economy is down. People who want to convince a potential employer of their worth sometimes agree to unpaid (or barely paid) "internships" to convince the company that they're worth hiring.

Spammers Struggling, Moving Overseas

Spammers Struggling, Moving Overseas 12/15/2003 02:27 AM
Yet another in a long line of "spammer profiles." This one focuses on two grandparents who spam for a living - but claim that times are tough for spammers, and they may have to declare bankruptcy. I'm sure we all pity them and the "free speech rights" go on and on about. The article does a good job pointing out how spammers are quite different than direct mail companies - no matter what the spammers claim. It also points out, however, that spammers are all setting up shop overseas, where it will be even more difficult to track them down once the US law legalizing most spam goes into effect. I'm still wondering why no one is demanding that, if we must pass such a terrible law, why don't we have some clear review point, six months from the law going into effect that will show how much more spam is being received? If it shown (as most of us suspect) that the law does nothing to stop spam (and may even help increase it), then shouldn't a Plan B be lined up?
