Outsourcing Technical Communication: Issues, Policies, and Practices

摘要

Outsourcing Technical Communication: Issues, Policies, and Practices makes a salient contribution to our understanding of outsourcing in technical communication. The contributors sift through reams of data from various sources and attempt to make sense of changes that have been happening so rapidly across different continents and cultures that it has been difficult to reflect on these changes and map the larger picture. The editors deserve praise for tackling a project involving cultural locations as different from each other as Mexico, Japan, India, Germany, Africa, and the United States and for attempting to explain how these global changes affect the writing and dissemination of technical documentation. For these reasons, this book is a valuable read for anyone interested in examining the relationships among globalization, outsourcing, and technical documentation.
