WHAT DOES OFFSHORING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Offshoring

Offshoring is the relocation by a company of a business process from one country to another—typically an operational process, such as manufacturing, or supporting processes, such as accounting. Even state governments employ offshoring. More recently, offshoring has been associated primarily with the outsourcing of technical and administrative services supporting domestic and global operations from outside the home country, by means of internal or external delivery models. The term is in use in several distinct but closely related ways. It is sometimes used broadly to include substitution of a service from any foreign source for a service formerly produced internally to the firm. In other cases, only imported services from subsidiaries or other closely related suppliers are included. A further complication is that intermediate goods, such as partially completed computers, are not consistently included in the scope of the term. Offshoring can be seen in the context of either production offshoring or services offshoring. After its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, the People's Republic of China emerged as a prominent destination for production offshoring.
