Abstract
MALAYSIA AMONG WORLD'S TOP THREE
CONTENDERS FOR OFFSHORING BUSINESS
Malaysia is among the top three contenders for
offshoring business in the world according to the 2004
Offshore Location Attractiveness Index compiled by
the global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney,
sources were quoted. Malaysia is ranked 3rd behind
India (1st) and China (2nd) but ahead of Singapore (5th),
Philippines (6th) and Thailand (13th). In its report,
A.T. Kearney considers Malaysia a “natural choice”
for offshore services in view of its low costs, particularly
for infrastructure, the most attractive business environment
among emerging markets, strong global exposure of the
workforce, and government support for the information
and communications technology (ICT) sector. Other
significant initiatives cited by A.T. Kearney include
the government’s investments in infrastructure and
developing the intelligent cities of Cyberjaya and Putrajaya
as part of the Multimedia Super Corridor project. Thus,
numerous companies – Motorola, Ericsson, IBM, Shell,
DHL, HSBC and BMW- have located their regional offshore
service centers in Cyberjaya.
