Organisations are ‘going global’ in new ways and expanding to new locations, offering considerable benefits for the organisation. These bring a new set of employment opportunities and problems.

The traditional arguments for offshoring to new locations have often been built around cost arbitrage, taking advantage of lower labour and related costs in manufacturing or routine service provision. Recent studies show that the ‘new’ locations can offer access to skilled and innovative pools of talent, and to different approaches to leadership and management. The motivation of mobile workers is also changing as employees place different value on working internationally.
