But you could also find reliable partners in some pour European countries. Cultural differences are much less you have a similiar cultural background, people are very well educated and they're a short flight away. The key thing is to find a reliable quality partner, good and reliable experts - nothing can compensate that. That's much more important to have to succeed then having "very, very" low labour costs.

Eventually they'll just want to move back overseas again! It's a seasaw, what's the point?<br /> <br /> Better to keep the industries where the head offices are. Makes the most sense to me. It's just logical. So wages are increasing overseas as job demand increases. Wages are decreasing here because job demand is decreasing.
