Japan doing it the American way who would of thought.

There are many countries in the world but America offshores and outsources the most. Many people don’t really think about other countries outsourcing or offshoring but it happens all the time around us the really thing to think about is if all countries offshore or outsource like America. Well I’m here to tell you not all countries can be like America. Japans outsourcing and offshoring helps Japan out sometimes depending on the situation.
Japan is not a very large country; it is small so they do try to get other resources from other countries. Yet at the same time offshoring and outsourcing isn’t something they are too big on doing. There are people who are outsourcing themselves and some companies who outsource but not that many. And from what I’ve gathered Japan doesn’t offshore much either. But before I go on to a better understand of what I’m going to talk about let me explain to you the differences of offshoring and outsourcing. Offshoring is the practice of basing some of a company's processes or services overseas, so as to take advantage of lower costs. Outsourcing is to obtain (goods or a service) from an outside or foreign supplier especially in place of an internal source. From what I’ve researched it seems that both of these things are good for Japan but they don’t really do it much. I mean I guess that would have to do with Japan kind of sticking to themselves mostly. Or the fact that Japan is all about nature with the Shinto religion so maybe they would prefer to use their own resources instead of focusing on others resources.

            I’m pretty sure outsourcing and offshoring helps Japans economy more than hurts them but in a way it could hurt the economy. It’s good because people who outsource themselves are working so it’s not like there aren’t any jobs for the people of Japan because people are outsourcing themselves getting jobs in other places then Japan but I guess at the same time this is bad because people are leaving Japan and their companies and going to another country like China. Offshoring seems like it doesn’t happen that much because I literally spent a while on google searching for places Japan offshoring other than India and some site mentioned China but they didn’t back it up or anything.  Japan’s Outsourcing Inc bought a majority stake in Bangalore-based hiring firm Alp Consulting so they could increase its reach in India’s fast growing employment market. Since India has a larger percentage of people they hope that their company can grow more.
