In one of their research papers, Ramanujan and Sandhya (2006, p. 54f) have raised some interesting legal questions on the issues of outsourcing, which could be helpful considerations especially for U.S. managers:
- “Will the transaction involve any attempted imposition by the U.S. government of extraterritorial jurisdiction? If so, is there likely be a conflict of laws, and what treaties or other legal mechanisms exist to overcome any such conflict?”
- “How can the operations be made most tax-efficient?”
- “What will be the impact of U.S. rules on the export of any information technology, process technology or other trade secrets?"
- “If the foreign personnel need to be deployed rapidly in the United States, under what conditions will the Immigration and Naturalization Service cooperate in allowing them to visit for the necessary time period?"
Has anyone got any answers to this? Well, some hints to these questions might be provided in the course of our blog. However, feel free to comment on this and share your information.
