Quote Of Note

U.S. multinational company CEOs "overestimated the issues associated with outsourcing jobs to low-cost nations and the consequences of that. CEOs underestimated the erosion that would have in their overall capabilities in places like the United States and how that would fundamentally shift their supply chains."

-- Craig Giffi, Vice Chairman of Deloitte
