July 12 (Bloomberg) -- “Outsourcing” has become such a
dirty word that it’s hard to believe there could actually be
something called the International Association of Outsourcing
Professionals. What next? The Society of Professional Child
Molesters?
The IAOP’s modest claim is that it is “the leading
professional association for organizations and individuals
involved in transforming the world of business through
outsourcing, offshoring, and shared services.” The group
promotes a list of the 100 best outsourcing companies, and even
has an annual Miss Outsourcing beauty pageant. (That last item’s
a joke. The rest is all true.)
