Outsourcing Technical Communication

"This book examines the impact of outsourcing on the field of technical communication. Aided by new technologies and driven by global market structures, technical communication products that were once developed in the United States or Western Europe are now being developed in Asia, Eastern Europe, and other parts of the world. If technical communication follows other fields, such as information technologies, electronics manufacturing, and even textiles, this "outsourcing" of technical communication products and jobs will surely influence our profession - but how?" "This collection is designed as a theory/practice book that addresses the needs of graduate students, faculty, and technical communicators who want to teach, practice, or conduct research in this area. It addresses technical communications and outsourcing in six different parts of the world, including the United States. It also explores issues of curriculum, project management, legal considerations, and intercultural communication problems."--BOOK JACKET.Thatcher, Barry is the author of 'Outsourcing Technical Communication', published 2008 under ISBN 9780895033345 and ISBN 0895033348.
