Widpro- The new face of Global Competition
Question 1
The outsourcing work to Wipro help General Electric’s to compete in the global economy because it allowed them to have talented labor force at a reduced cost : “ had found a cheap source of talented engineers and programmers”, it has also permitted to extend the business to a new country : “ to using the country as a base for data entry, processing credit …”.

Question 3
If India continues to prosper; Indian’s engineer will make more and more money. They will have a better living than American engineers as prices in India are lower.

I think that this strategy is very helpful to develop the company into
