Question:
The outsourcing of human resources (ex, call centers in India) becomes an important part of U.S. firms in recent years. How would you explain this in relation to firm's profit maximization goal? US firms has been criticized for hiring cheap foreign labor and therefore contributing high unemployment rate in U.S. Does "made in U.S.A" matter to US firms? Would US firms hire expensive American workers and be willing to sacrifice the their profit margins to help the U.S. economy?
