Thomas Friedman writes about globalization in "The Lexus and the Olive Tree," both the positive aspects such as the spread of ideas and innovation, and the negative ones like massive worker displacements and the proliferation of the junk food emporia like McDonalds, etc. The issue is quite complex, of course, but I wish companies would focus more on long-term strategies of developing their own workforces rather than short-term cost savings of outsourcing good jobs.
