__Final Project__ __Bibliography__ __Chat With Expert__ __ ﻿My final expert was my aunt, Sarah Murphy, from the Shedd Aquarium, in Chicago __ > 1. What is your standpoint on American outsourcing? I believe outsourcing is important for the free-market to work. If it is the best way to bring down costs and increase profit than you should be able to do it.

> 2. Has any company you have worked for ever outsourced jobs? Yes. The organization (Shedd Aquarium) was looking to lower costs and increase profit. The senior management group looked at departments that were outside the core competencies and determined that the retail store operation, food service and building operations would be more efficiently run by outside organizations who are experts in those areas.

> 3. If so, how beneficial is outsourcing for your company's profit?

Outsourcing the stores and the food service turned out to provide major savings in expenses and significant increase in profits for the organization. The building operations after 3 years returned to an in-house function because of the specialized needs of the aquarium.

> 4. With unemployment on the rise, do you think there is any hope that some outsourced jobs will become purely American again? It's possible but, the challenges is to find and retrain unemployed folks to meet the needs of existing and future job market. The US education system is struggling to provide the basic education to ensure the US workforce is strong for the future. According to the book //Waiting for Superman "//in 2020 there will be 123 million high-skill jobs to filland fewer than 50 million Americans qualified to fill them." If we don't have the skilled people for the jobs companies will look worldwide to meet the needs and keep costs low.

> 5. Do you think that we could have saved to Roman republic's crisis of slavery taking Roman jobs? No. I think that the slavery taking the jobs was a part of a bigger issue of political corruption, greed and lack of overall leadership to help the people of Rome care for themselves and their community.
