Outsourcing of jobs is one of the most controversial topics in today's business climate. The increase of the Internet and other global communications has made it not only possible, but easier for organizations to use workforces in other regions in which wages and benefits are far lower than in the developed world. One can ethically defend outsourcing using the principle of utilitarianism -- the greatest good for the greatest number. While initially there is a job loss in the host country, competitive pressures require that global businesses remain competitive to even stay in business. Over the long-term, this means that the stakeholders benefit from the company staying in business and making a profit, even if that is shifting jobs to other countries. Looking at the economy globally allows one to justify outsourcing as a way to improve the gist of globalization (VCG, 2011).

China, for instance, has consistently manipulated its currency for over a decade with no consequence because free trade agreements are impossible to enforce in most foreign countries. The benefits to free trade, though, in a global economy, may have fiscal costs to richer countries that may need to help develop new mindsets within their own business community (Heffner, 2012).
Part 3 -- The Internet and email are robust and necessary parts of any modern organization. Communication is expected to be more instantaneous but it is difficult to police and ensure that individuals are not using work time and resources…
