Offshore Outsourcing Challenges

Before you consider offshore outsourcing, it is prudent to review the challenges that may be encountered. The risks include cultural differences, communication, quality measurement, managing specifications, security, and organizational issues.

Cultural differences can cause risk when you presume that your culture does things the right way and that other cultures do things the wrong way. Worse yet is when you assume that everyone understands your culture, or when you assume that you know theirs.

Interesting enough, these biases are not specifically American; although it might seem so when you talk to other executives from foreign companies that work with American companies. American companies come across as both arrogant and ignorant at the same time. US companies will be well served to solicit help from international business consultants when doing business with a different culture for the first time.

Measurement of quality can be risky due mainly to differing methodologies for measuring quality along with the ownership of the quality process itself. Outsourcing partnerships must agree to a standard measure of quality and to the steps in the measurement process such as design reviews, which might catch quality problems before they happen. This could include inspections throughout the process along with orders padded with additional inventory to account for unexpected quality problems. Also, there is no substitute for strong documentation of work processes to insure adherence to quality standards.

Offshore outsourcing communication can be fraught with risk due to time zone differences, language differences, and technology challenges. Dramatic time zone differences can slow communication in our fast paced business world, while language differences can cause errors and rework in addition to conflict in the workplace. Both the offshore outsource partner and the US headquartered firm need to invest in staffing who are fluent in the language and have specific cultural knowledge.

Security breach or the loss of intellectual property can also be real concerns. In this case, extensive reference checking is in order to verify the integrity of the partner before going into contract. Additionally, an outsource partner should have documented policies protecting the rights of the US based firm; of course, this policy needs enforcement. A good rule of thumb is to provide sufficient sensitive information needed to complete the work, but no more than that. Auditing the outsource partners facility ahead of time is a good idea; the audit should include a viewing of the security policies and inspecting the physical plant for security.

Further, specifications or requirements can be a troublesome area and once again is a problem stemming largely from poor communication and rushed schedules. The offshore partner can be pressed to meet tight schedules without proper pre-flight planning. This pre-flight planning time is well spent on the front end of a project since expectations can be thoroughly communicated along with concrete specifications of the final product. Slowing down and verifying milestones and commitments makes for successful projects, while last minute expedites and verbal instructions open the project to unnecessary errors.

In summary, US organizations may be structured and operate differently than the partner organizations. Accommodations to these differences might include routine meetings with key project management personnel from both sides; weekly meetings may prove the best frequency. These meetings should include the review of project status reports while providing a forum for problem solving.

Quit Smoking and Quit Snoring

Smoking has a whole range of dangers associated with it. Heart disease, lung disease, strokes and cancer to name but a few. But did you know it can contribute to snoring?

The actual mechanism is not fully known but can be surmised. This is because cigarette smoke is known to affect the respiratory epithelium (lining) of the larynx and bronchi. This can cause a malfunction of the delicate cells and hairs that line these passages which, in turn, leads to symptoms.

Even passive smoking can have this effect. Stale smoke can last for up to 2 hours after exhaled and affect the non-smoker.

Smokers often cough and feel congested. This is not only due to tar deposits in the lungs and airways. The airways themselves produce mucus in all of us, and this can be altered in the presence of cigarette smoke.

If excessive mucus is produced in the airways, this can lead to irritation, thickening and swelling of the airways including the respiratory passages in and around the voice box. Sinus linings can also be affected which leads to congestion and a stuffy nose.

Cue snoring!

In reality, snoring is no laughing matter. It causes much distress and heartache, especially for families. And, yes, snoring can happen in anyone, not just smokers.

But smokers, those that are overweight and those that lead an unhealthy lifestyle, are most prone.

The great thing about some conditions is that they can be helped or reversed. therefore - stop smoking! Eliminating the source of cigarettes smoke, as well as making you more healthy overall, will help to reduce your snoring and that of those who cannot avoid passive smoke.

    Team Dimensions: Putting Together an Effective Team

    In order for a company to be successful, it needs to maximize the productivity of each employee. Most of todays companies are realizing that teams are the key to helping each employee achieve their potential. There are certain work roles in which people tend to be naturally comfortable. These natural roles are defined as creator, generates ideas; advancer, communicates ideas; refiner, challenges ideas; executor, implements ideas; and there is also the role of flexor, someone who has strengths in all fields and is able to fill in as needed. Maximum productivity is easily achieved when there is a person to function in each of these work roles.

    Although some people are equally talented at everything they do, it is more likely that your employees have talents in specific areas. Chances are that they focus their time and energy into those areas. With teams and communication being key components of todays work environment, why not make use of the talent available by grouping employees together to form one effective unit? The responsibility of forming cohesive teams usually falls to the managers who interact with their employees daily. However, many managers have a very busy schedule and are not always able to see the areas in which their employees excel. Thats where the Team Dimensions Profile comes in. This assessment will help your managers put together an effective team by identifying employees natural team roles and putting them in a position to use their skills to maximize productivity.

    Of course people are not one dimensional, so these roles are not concrete. For instance, one employee who focuses heavily on analysis may fall in the category of refiner, but also have tendencies towards executor, meaning they are also good at seeing the realities and are able to put a creators ideas into a concrete plan. Teams having a balance of employees able to satisfy each role will be invariably more productive than those that dont. Naturally there are times when employees have to be stretched beyond their preferences, especially at smaller companies. However, an understanding of the other roles may help an employee communicate with others better and easily step into different work roles when called upon.

    Understanding how people perform in a team atmosphere will give valuable insight into their work habits and contributions to the team process. When managers know their employees natural tendencies and preferences, they can assign work roles accordingly, making their teams effective and their company more productive. http://www.corexcel.com/index.html

    Save Taxes Using the Section 179 Deduction

    A taxpayer who conducts an active trade or business can save income tax with the Section 179 deduction. Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows a business to deduct immediately the cost of tangible, personal property that the business purchased and placed in service in a trade or business. Therefore, a taxpayer may claim the Section 179 deduction on business equipment, office furniture, and machinery used in the business. In addition, off-the-shelf computer software qualifies through 2007. However, if the taxpayer uses such assets in connection with rental real estate, they do not qualify for the Section 179 deduction.

    A taxpayer must use the asset for more than 50-percent business use to claim any Section 179 deduction. If the usage is greater than 50 percent but less than 100 percent, the taxpayer may claim the Section 179 deduction on the percentage of the cost of the asset that is used for business. A taxpayer claims the Section 179 deduction by making the election on Form 4562.

    This deduction reduces taxable income and therefore saves income tax. If the taxpayer is a self-employed individual, the Section 179 deduction also reduces self-employment income and therefore saves self-employment tax.

    Vehicles purchased and placed in service in a business are eligible for the Section 179 deduction. However, the total deduction for depreciation and the Section 179 deduction on most vehicles is severely limited. Therefore, claiming the Section 179 deduction on car used in a business is usually not the best use of the Section 179 deduction.

    However, if the taxpayer purchases and places in service a sport utility vehicle (SUV) that has a gross vehicle weight of more than 6,000 pounds, the taxpayer may claim a Section 179 deduction up to $25,000. In addition, the taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction on the remaining cost. If a taxpayer purchases and places in service a pickup truck with a gross vehicle weight of more than 6,000 pounds, the taxpayer may claim all of the cost of the pickup as a Section 179 deduction, subject only to the annual limit and the taxable income limit as explained below.

    The Section 179 deduction reduces the adjusted basis of the property. However, if the taxpayer has any cost remaining after subtracting the Section 179 deduction, the taxpayer may take depreciation deductions on the remaining cost, including in the year of purchase.

    The maximum Section 179 deduction allowed in 2006 is $108,000 (Rev. Proc. 2005-70). This limit is the aggregate limit on the cost of all eligible property and not the limit on each item of eligible property. If a taxpayer purchases more than $430,000 of eligible property during 2006 (Rev. Proc 2005-70), the maximum Section 179 deduction is reduced by $1 for each $1 of the cost of eligible property over the $430,000 limit.

    In addition, the Section 179 deduction is limited to the taxable income derived for any business before considering the Section 179 deduction. For this purpose, wages and salaries count as income from a business. Therefore, someone who is employed may start a part-time business and claim the Section 179 deduction even if the business makes little money or suffers a loss in the first year or two. The taxpayer may carry forward to the next tax year any Section 179 deduction that exceeds the taxable income limit. There are also special rules for certain kinds of property called listed property.

    If a taxpayer disposes of property on which the taxpayer has claimed the Section 179 deduction, the Section 179 deduction is subject to recapture in the same manner as depreciation. A taxpayer reports the sale of such property on Form 4797. The recapture of depreciation and the recapture of the Section 179 deduction on a sale of the property are not subject to the self-employment tax (Section 1402(a)(3)(C)).

    If the taxpayer converts the asset to 50-percent or less business use before the end of its depreciable life, however, the taxpayer must recapture part of the Section 179 deduction for income tax purposes and self-employment tax purposes. A taxpayer reports such recapture on the same form on which the taxpayer claimed the deduction. For a self-employed individual the form would be Schedule C of Form 1040 because the Section 179 deduction claimed on Form 4562 flows to Schedule C.

    The Section 179 deduction is one of the best deductions allowed to a taxpayer who operates a business. Claiming the Section 179 deduction accelerates the deduction for depreciation that the taxpayer would have to claim over several years. Money does have a time value. In addition, a self-employed individual usually saves self-employment tax with the Section 179 deduction, but the recapture of the Section 179 deduction increases only income tax, not self-employment tax.

    While claiming the Section 179 deduction is usually a good decision, in some cases it may not be wise. Therefore, a business owner would be wise to consult a competent tax professional before claiming the Section 179 deduction.

    Planning a Party on a Closeout Price Budget

    Party planning for your loved ones can often be an expensive task. While you want to celebrated and honor what that person has accomplished, albeit a birthday, promotion, anniversary or other milestone, sometimes the funds arent always available to throw a party.

    Closeout stores are a bright light of hope when planning a party on a budget. While closeout stores are terrific for deals, one must be flexible in their plans. Unfortunately you cannot be guaranteed as to what will be in stock so its best not to go into the Closeout stores looking for a particular item.

    When you go to a closeout or party supply outlet and find that luau themes are on sale and clearance at a then use those items as your theme for the party. While you may have preferred to have something a little more classic, a luau can be a fun theme for any time of year; it shouldnt be reserved solely for summer.

    Also dont just look in the party section for themed ideas at a closeout or party outlet store. You may be surprised to find that hard plastic cups in the luau or other seasonal theme may be more inexpensive than disposable party cups. Serving bowls, plates and matching silverware may also be more budget friendly in the house wares section as opposed to party supplies. These can be used over and over again and will not only save money on this party but for parties in the future.

    Tea Parties Take the Cake

    Taking cues from a favored English past time, tea-party themes range from Victorian elegance to purely whimsical, appealing to a broad age range as well. Tea Rooms have appeared throughout the U.S. giving us a guide to the ways of cozy ambience, dress-up, quiet conversation, and etiquette. You dont need to spend hours in the kitchen to host a memorable tea party. Prepare small sandwiches with simple flavors like cream cheese and prosciutto, mozzarella and tomato, tuna salad, or ham and apple. Simply spread a thin coat of mayonnaise, butter, or cream cheese on the bread to keep it from getting soggy. Add your favorite filling and cut off the edges with a serrated knife. Then cut with cookie cutter, or cut into simple square shapes. Add a few pastries from your local bakery such as scones, muffins, and danishes in assorted flavors. Keep the party to around 2 hours. Any longer will require a light lunch.

    Tea Party Ideas

    Mother/Daughter Club

    Start a Mother/Daughter Tea Club Gather together once a month and use special teacups, teapots, and linens along with several types of tea and finger foods. Introduce a different theme each month that interests women of all ages: fashion, health, gardening, etc. Its a beautiful time to enjoy each other.

    Tea Break at Work

    Surprise your co-workers with a tea break. Bring sandwiches, cookies, scones and a special teapot for a special break from the ordinary

    Tea and Cookies

    Have everyone bring their favorite batch of cookies and display them on fine china platters.

    Preparation:

    Start with innovative invitations. For a girls birthday tea party, cut out invitations shaped as teapots or send each guest a small teacup with an invitation attached or painted on the cup. Or use floral note cards or postcards.

    Purchase or borrow the necessary items for your tea gatherings. Youll need 1 or more china teapots for intimate gatherings. Cups and saucers may be matching, but create interest with a variety of patterns. For sugar, always use cubes in a sugar bowl with sugar tongs for serving. Serve milk, not cream. Have teaspoons, lemon slices in a dish with a small fork, serving utensils for cake, forks, and knives for jam.

    Dont forget the music: classical or vintage

    Use candles to create ambience.

    Serve a colorful variety of petit fours, scones, sugar cookies, and of course, chocolate.

    Set out bouquets of pink and white flowers.

    Take Polaroid snapshots of guests to add to the fun and chatter.

    Ask guests to dress up complete with heels, hats, and gloves

    Favors

    Surprise your guests with tea party favors such as lace handkerchiefs, flavored tea, teapot cozies, , teacups, porcelain teabag holders, demitasse spoons with teapot handles, or your favorite recipes printed on floral stationary.

    Tea Party Etiquette:

    This is a great time to teach young ladies about etiquette. To stir your tea, swish the tea back and forth, never hitting the sides of the cup. Never leave the spoon in the cup, but gently rest the spoon on the saucer, behind the cup on the right side under the cup handle. Drink your tea by lifting the saucer and cup together, with the saucer in one hand, and cup in the other.

    Tea Preparation

    Fill a tea kettle with purified water and set on stove to boil. Warm up your china teapot by running hot water thru it from the faucet. This will keep your tea warmer for a bit longer. Add your teabags or tea-filled infuser to the teapot using 2-3 tea bags for 4 guests. Pour the boiling water carefully into your teapot and wait 5 minutes, then remove teabags. China Teapots are best at keeping tea warm. Surround teapot with a stylish tea cozy for extra insulation.

    About The Benefits of Green Tea

    Green tea over the years has been known for its medicinal properties. Though not a medicine according to the strict definition of the word, it is now confirmed to have medicinal substances. In ancient China the benefits of green were known ever since its discovery, but the modern world has only just learnt about its medicinal properties. In fact, even now, a lot of the claims are being studied and research being carried out to verify whether it indeed gives the said benefits to green tea drinkers.

    To begin with, the ingredients which are responsible for most of the benefits of green tea are catechin, caffeine, theanine and amino acids. Catechin is a tannin found only in green tea as the fermentation done in other varieties of tea leaves reduces it. This is the substance that gives green tea its most important medicinal properties. The benefits accruing to the green tea drinker from the presence of catechin can be summarized as follows:

    Cancer development is prevented by blocking growth of substance responsible for cancer,

    Helpful in preventing high blood pressure,

    Helpful in fighting bacteria and viruses and preventing diseases like food poisoning and cavities,

    Prevention of bad cholesterol caused by oxidation, and hence narrowing of blood vessels prevented,

    Helpful in prevention of arterial sclerosis,

    Prevention of thrombosis by suppressing aggregation of platelets,

    Condition of intestines is improved as growth of bad bacteria is prevented and growth of bifid bacteria (good bacteria) is enhanced,

    Helpful in prevention of diabetes by blocking a function of enzyme which actively absorbs sugar.

    Caffeine is another vital substance present in green tea. Normally a cup of green tea would have around 20mg of caffeine. It is known to affect the central nervous system and if taken in large quantities, can be addictive and adversely affect the nervous system. However, the amount present in a cup of green tea is minimal and beneficial to the drinker. Caffeine acts as a stimulant effecting the nervous system and state of mental alertness. It is helpful in reducing sleepiness and speeds up recovery from stress. It activates blood circulation, enhancing athletic ability and endurance as a result. When caffeine in green tea is taken together with exercise, subcutaneous fat is metabolized as energy rather than depleting glycogen, and hence increases stamina. Green tea is even considered a good remedy for hangovers because caffeine prevents absorption of alcohol. Finally, green tea acts as a diuretic, as caffeine is a detoxification agent and helps in the discharge of body wastes that raise blood pressure.
