Outsourcing and Offshoring Trends in Consumer Electronics Report Released

Dallas January 26, 2010 – The consumer electronics industry is intensely competitive. As a result, companies are under constant pressure to focus on cost efficiency and drive products and services innovation. Consumer electronics companies are increasingly using offshore partnerships to drive benefits beyond labor arbitrage.
