Salam, Beberapa kali saya menelpun Dell computer yang berpusat di Texas tapi dihubungkan dengan technical specialist yang ada di Mumbay, New Delhi, atau Bangalore (Silicon Valley of India).
Saya juga sempat nonton acara TV tentang banyaknya perusahaan di Amerika yang outsource ke India. Bukan hanya bidang information technology, tapi juga kedokteran (analisa pasien), riset and design (banyak bidang), dan keuangan. Diacara itu disebutkan bahwa untuk menggaji lulusan MBA lulusan Harvard, dibutuhkan gaji lebih dari seratus ribu dollar per tahun. Sedangkan untuk menggaji lulusan top MBA dari Indian Institute of Management ataupun Indian Institute of Technology dan memperkerjakan mereka di India, hanya dibutuhkan sepuluh ribu dollar pertahun. Adakah hal positif dari India yang bisa ditiru Indonesia?

Area Here's a quick reminder of our forthcoming India Seminar in the Washington D.C. metro area. -------------------------------------- INDIA: INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY University of Maryland University College June 27, 2003 Seminar Theme: India has long been known for its expertise in IT and sofware development. What is relatively less known is the fact that dozens of American companies also perform Business Process Outsourcing and Research & Development in India. According to a recent report in the Fortune magazine, P&G has saved one billion dollars since 1999 by outsourcing some of their accounting work to foreign countries. A large number of big IT companies, such as Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, and Texas Instruments, have been performing R&D through their own operations in India, while others have outsourced such work to Indian companies. The seminar's focus is on how companies can strengthen their competitive advantage by leveraging India's intellectual talent in high-tech fields through investment or outsourcing. It will also present best practices and actionable ideas on how companies can safeguard their intellectual property and interests in overseas alliances and joint ventures.
