International Relocation: In Defense of IBM and Project Match

04-Feb-09

IBM is under fire this week from many for its plan to offer laid off workers in the U.S. assistance in relocating to IBM offices in other countries. The program, named “Project Match,” specifically offers relocation help in China, India, Brazil, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Russia, South Africa, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates. I defend Project Match – unless U.S. citizens learn more about becoming global citizens, partly by actually living overseas, we are not going to be able to adapt to the economic challenges ahead. Those who do not adapt, perish.
