It cuts both ways

I’m in Seoul at the moment and had an interesting conversation over dinner last night with some local design managers. They were talking about European designers becoming more cost effective, due to rising labour costs in Korea!

So just as some Western companies are 'Reshoring' – bringing outsourced projects back home from India – some Asian companies are considering more offshoring of design to Europe. An uplifting counterpoint to the globalisation doom mongers!
