Description

Integration of Australian economy with world economy has become an integral part of globalization. Over the past years, globalization has made its evidence through different phases. In each phase new public debate has occurred about the participation of Australia in world economy and its effect in industry and local market jobs. The strong apprehension for job losses in Australia has occurred when high tariff rate has started to fall during 1970s and 1980s. Another reason for this fear is when Australia has adopted a policy of financial deregulation in the early 1980s. The term offshoring has got central attraction during the latest phase of globalization. In a simple word the term offshoring can be represented as global outsourcing (Buisness Council of Australia, 2004). Offshoring is not a unique process in Australia; rather it is used increasingly by many industries in Australia to remain cost competitive. Being an organization representing Australia’s largest telecommunication business, Telstra Corporation Limited provides 16.4 million mobile services, 7.4 million fixed voice services and 3 million retail fixed broadband services (Telstra, 2015). The aim of this paper is to evaluate some external and internal issues allied to Telstra regarding job offshoring as it has confirmed to shift 670 Australian jobs to its global service division.
