From Russia with Love.
Have you ever tried to have someone in Russia conduct work for you? Have you ever spent months sending e-mails back and forth because you want to pay taxes to their government, yet the people over there refuse to co-operate? You may ask why would you want to pay taxes to Russia? The answer is because we have no tax treaty wtih them. In fact everything you pay out to employees in Russia is a 100% tax write off for your I.R.S. Taxes. However, people in Russia do not like paying taxes. One reason is there is so much payperwork that is involved with politicans just to approve to whole process. So on one side, it seems simple. On the other side of the planet it is not perceived as simple, so there is no co-operation. Then there is the Russian culture. Back in the days of the Soviet Government, people were garenteed a job. This created a very lax people who gave a new dimention to the word procrastination. Having someone get paid in advance and doing very simple work in a months time is impossible. So in this reguard the globalization, at least for people in Russia is a hard thing. However, with their knowledge of php computer technology at great prices, which makes html look like carving letter into stone, there is great promise in having this labor globalized. I mean why pay an American $10,000 when you can pay a Russian $2,000?
On the issue of actual Gloabalization itself. It is far easier to organize sub-contractors in different countires than it is to do so locally. Locally, people get jealouse and commite acts of sabatotage, embezzlement, shoddy work, no work being done, worker slow down, corporate espionage and anything else relative. You can not organize you local masses ecomically. However you can outsource your work and take the same gamble. The only difference is it costs less money and if someone doesn't do their job, you can just contact a replacement in a different section of their country or a different one. That's why globalization for the small independent businesses owner who is struggling on a poor standard of living can at least inch his way towards success.
