you said it yourself "something ordinary managers cannot pull off". Thats the whole problem.

To me this whole offshore angle is a lot like the remote office debate. Sure there are some, a few, highly effective completely remote worksites where every employee works from home 100% of the time and the only communication is through netmeeting. But for the one or two of those, there are thousands that are less effective. Consequently, most people still drive in to work every day. Now you can say, that the reason the companies who do not allow working remotely do so because they have only "ordinary managers" if you want, but everyone knows thats a misnomer. Thats how offshoring is.

Yes, while remote managgement may never be perfected, it has a lot of room to improve.

While there is some pushback from customers on offshore support, there is no pushback on engineering. U.S. companies are building big engineering teams in India (to a much lesser extent China) for both hardware and software. Once ChIndia get their graduate programs together, the U.S. will be in big trouble.
