		<description>The 3 main criteria for using outsourcing is:
1.)low labor cost: Having workers who work for a low salary is a plus for any company because all the company is trying to do is make money.
2.)educated people: You have to make sure that when your workers are going to work for you, you have to make sure that they know what there doing because if they dont it will cost the company money in the long run.
3.)low cost of living: I agree with Kara on this point because since the workers have such a low pay they need everything like food and clothes to be lower.

		<description>The three main criteria would be educated and hard working workers.  Educated workers cause fast and good production.  Also companies educate their workers if they don’t have enough as the company believes they do.  Another thing is low labor costs.  Low labor costs can cause the company to make money and countries with high populations have many workers but low labor costs are good for the company and nation.  Finally a healthy government is needed to reassure no bad business going on, no distraction, like Kara said it would cause unfocused workers and lower quality products.

		<description>For a country to be an outsourcing leader it must have:
I-  A skilled work force.  Companies do not want to compromise the quality of their product for low prices.  A skilled work force like that in India can produce products of the same or higher quality without raising costs.
II-  A strong government.  Like Jihan and Nick pointed out, civil unrest throws off the interest of potential companies.  They do not want to risk their company&#039;s success because a foreign government is in a tizzy.  Furthermore, if the people are unhappy with their government, they are distracted.  This equals unfocused workers and lower quality products.
III-  Low costing of living.  The country must have food, utilities, comfortable housing, and transportation that the workers can afford on a small salary.  That way, if foreign companies come in and pay them small salaries, they will be able to get by, maybe even thrive!  But really, low cost of living= very important.

		<description>Three key criteria’s that are needed to become an outsourcing leader like India are; a good education with well educated teachers. Low labor cost, because in India things are cheaper even though it is the same quality as the things that are made in the U.S for more money. Also a highly skilled work force because the workers are very good at what they do and they are fast and produce high quality products.

		<description>1. Good education-
A great educational system is fundimental to be a good outsourcing location because without education, the people would not be able to do the job prospective employers would need them to do.

2. Low labor cost-
Companies are constantly looking on ways to make money.  The less a company has to spend on paying their employees, the better the country looks to them.  Compared to the United States, India and Romania have a much lower labor cost and they do not have to pay them as much for doing the same job as they would in the States.

3. Stable government-
A stable government is vital to outsourcing.  When there is constant unrest, wars, and constant overthrows of power, a company cannot survive and make a profit in that kind of environment.

		<description>1. Three keys that are needed to become an outsourcing leader like India you will need a good education, good economy, and a  stable and healthy government.  When I say healthy government I mean there is no problems with power and inport less than they export. THe next thing that a country would need is good education because with a good education the leaders of tomarrow are become smarter and learn news way to make more money for the country.  The last thing they need is a good economy, with a good economy there unemployment rate will go down and in turn make the country richer to become a great outsourcer.

		<description>1) The first criteria a country must have to be a great outsourcing country like India is a good education system. Without education the people of the country whom will fill these outsourcing jobs will not meet the expectations needed to work in the industry and in turn India or any country will not be an outsourcing god. The second criteria a country must have is low labor costs and a low cost of living. If these aspects are met workers will able to buy or rent close to there work and communiting will be easy. Also, with the people not getting paid much (and it being okay becaue of the low cost of living) the companies will be saving more money. The last criteria a country must have to be a excellent outsourcing country is the ability to tax. Good taxing policies enable the companies and government to pull in extra money without getting the citizens too mad.

		<description>Three things a nation needs to become a major outsourcing leader like India are many smart, educated, intelligent workers.  The nation will need to be inexpensive to live in, that way workers can survive with minimal pay.  It will also need many English speaking workers and a large population.

		<description>A place needs to have low cost both labor and a low cost of living so that the low payed workers can live close to their jobs also office rents and expenses will be low.  Need good infrastruture which means there is good transportation both roads and airports. There also needs to be a good communication network especially for the internet. There needs to be a stable political  climate so you don&#039;t lose your investment and so that supporting industries will want to invest in it to.  Nobody wants violence to disrupt the area where you work.
