		<description><![CDATA[Tata Consultancy just won the Chrysler IT contract, worth billions. It&#8217;s probably a good time to look again at McKinsey Quarterly&#8217;s interview with Ratan Tata from 2005.

		<description><![CDATA[One the biggest problems facing outsourcing projects stems from the cost savings themselves. Most companies determine the size and level of a project or work by its cost. They don't assign work based upon its strategic value or (following Dr. Jaques and Lord Brown) on a measure of complexity. They simply assign it based on cost.

He&#8217;s also written a book, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, which is due out soon. Friedman&#8217;s article in the New York Times Magazine (It&#8217;s a Flat World After All&#8221;) is interesting. [...]]]></description>
