Paper 1
Revise: Globalisation and the Role of TNCsOutsourcing means hiring an external provider to carry out work. Overseas outsourcing allows a business to obtain services from another country, often to reduce costs or access specialist skills.
Link each factor to development: faster communications → outsourcing to India → jobs and service exports → higher incomes and economic growth.
