    Locational Strategy: Choosing Uruguay: - Access To Government

    Uploaded by

    Vasu Gandhi
    Uruguay provides advantages for locational strategy including access to government programs, low costs, a stable government, and a friendly culture. However, it also has disadvantages like a lack of a sizable domestic market and limited supply of professional employees. TCSI hired local employees in Uruguay who were in their early 20s, on average, with light programming experience but good English skills. They were motivated but paid lower salaries. Indian employees at the Uruguayan office initially struggled with cultural differences from their Indian colleagues but eventually learned to understand each other better. The Uruguayan market catered mainly to Latin American clients rather than pursuing an outsourcing model, and TCSI faced regional competition in that market.
