    Taking It to the Net


    Traditional versus New Economy Comparison

    The Internet provides a rich and endless array of data, information, and Web sites that must be carefully used. Note the emphasis on the word carefully. There is no universal screening or validating groups, agency, or association that approves the information on the Internet. It is your responsibility to make sure that the information you review, consider for use, and incorporate in your studies, reports, or findings is accurate, reliable, honest, and cited properly. Using the Internet and your favorite search engine (try www.google.com or www.yahoo.com) examine two different firms. Pick a traditional economy company (automobiles, oil and energy, transportation) and what some refer to as a new economy company (software, telecommunications, computing), and answer the following:

    1. How much of each company's revenue and profit is generated outside its country of origin? 2. What does the code of ethics statement for each company say? 3. What changes have they had to cope with in their people policies and product/service mix

    in the past decade? 4. How effective are the firms? (Describe what basis you use to determine effectiveness.) 5. Would you want to work for either of these firms? Why?

    One of the Best Firms

    This chapter discussed diversity in the workforce and its impact on organizations' culture. First, visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and examine information about diversity and demographics forecasts. Second secure a copy of the most recent Fortune's "America's 50 Best Companies for Minorities." Select one of the firms, and determine why it is considered favorably in the ranking. Prepare a brief presentation explaining what you learned from reviewing the statistics and one of Fortune's 50 best companies.
    Offshoring: What's It All About?

    Earlier in the chapter, three different Indian outsourcing firms were mentioned, Wipro Ltd., Infosys Ltd., and Tata Consulting Services. You'll also recall that the activity of offshoring is controversial in that some believe it costs American jobs while others believe that offshoring is a natural byproduct of free trade and should be left to flourish. To learn more about these successful companies and the controversial offshoring industry, please visit these companies' Web sites and research the following questions: 1. What do these three firms do? What services do they offer? 2. Which industries do they serve? 3. How do these Indian outsourcing companies save U.S. companies money? The companies' Web sites can be found at:
    Wipro Ltd.: www.wipro.com (click on "About Wipro") Infosys Ltd.: www.infosys.com (click on "Services" and "About") Tata Consulting Services: www.tata.com/tcs/ (read the "profile" and click on "products and services")
