Abstract

In February 2004 the front cover story of The Economist highlighted the shift of white-collar work to offshore locations as firms responded to competitive pressures and lowered their production costs in a globalized economy. In doing so, The Economist asked the provocative question: what will be left if professional services relocate to offshore locations? How will cities, regions and nations in advanced economies remain competitive? According to a growing number of observers of the contemporary economy, the answer is very simple: creativity.
