Description
This chapter reviews the global positioning of South Africa for BPO&O industrial expansion. BPO&O is first defined and a review of global context considered. Since India and the Philippines are the market leaders, explanations for their success are presented. The chapter then considers the experience of one emergent entrant to BPO&O, namely South Africa, and its attempts to gain a greater share of this market.
