Intel is a company that develops processing technologies such as chips that are put into computer hardware. However recently they have decided to outsource certain necessary business operation to India instead of in the US. Additionally Intel has agreed with an investment banker named Morgan Chase, to invest about 1 billion of the company's money into this plan. Intel already has many of it's workers in India however wants to expand the business by increasing its workers within the company. Workers will be needed to help expand the company a long with workers both qualified and graduates due to the increased opportunities and positions. The reasoning as to why Intel continues to offshore work to India is because they are able to find high quality workers and can get work done at cheaper/lower costs.

However those who are highly qualified and trained are able to find a job at Intel that matches their level of training. Thus they become employed if they need money. A positive impact to globalization is getting rid of the digital divide in a sense because fr

Intel, a major computer-chip maker and Chase, the investment banker thats gone global, are now planning on outsourcing many important tasks to India, leaving what will left in the United States as high-proficiency jobs. Many other companies such as Cisco are also following Intel and J.P. Morgan Chase's lead by sending "lower-proficiency" jobs and tasks to India, leaving more space for jobs here. Immense amounts of money are being spent by Intel (1 billion dollars in investments and 800 million dollars in research).
