The Offshoring Research Network (ORN) project on offshoring of technical and administrative work was launched in 2004 at Duke University Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), The Fuqua School of Business. Since its launch, ORN has become one of the world’s most respected authorities on research and analysis of offshoring trends. Offshoring refers to the process of sourcing any business functions supporting domestic and global operations abroad, in particular from lower-cost emerging economies (Manning et al., 2008).
