List of companies that outsource?

[SGBL]

Is there a list anywhere of companies that outsource, particularly banks? I just found out how much a bank I have a credit card from outsources (huge amount) and now I want to find one that doesn't. I don't know if it would be possible to find one that isn't affiliated with MBNA and offers credit cards, but that would be a plus as well.

1. You might be better off finding a list of ones that *don't*

1) it will be a much shorter list
2) you'd have a direct affirmation that companies on such a list meet your criteria, and are not simply omitted by error or lack of information

2. That works too

I was seriously considering this when congress passed the bankruptcy bill, and seeing the numbers just sealed the deal.

Basically I just want a list of banks I can get a card at that aren't outsourcing and were not affiliated with MBNA or something similar.

4. maybe this trend is reversing...

"Indeed, we can't rely on importing the talent we need anymore - not in a flat world where people can now innovate without having to emigrate. In Silicon Valley today, "B to B" and "B to C" stand for "back to Bangalore" and "back to China," which is where a lot of our foreign talent is moving.

Meeting this challenge requires a set of big ideas. If you want to grasp some of what is required, check out a smart new book by the strategists John Hagel III and John Seely Brown entitled "The Only Sustainable Edge." They argue that comparative advantage today is moving faster than ever from structural factors, like natural resources, to how quickly a country builds its distinctive talents for innovation and entrepreneurship - the only sustainable edge."

"India and China know they can't just depend on low wages, so they are racing us to the top, not the bottom. Producing a comprehensive U.S. response - encompassing immigration, intellectual property law and educational policy - to focus on developing our talent in a flat world is a big idea worthy of a presidency. But it would also require Mr. Bush to do something he has never done: ask Americans to do something hard."
