Your question has broader implications beyond the realms of bottom line financial considerations for private sector businesses. In fact, it strikes at the heart of a country's economy and its prospects in the emerging global market.
The governments for a number of the "developed" countries haven't established the policies that are necessary to maintain a leadership position in the knowledge-based industries. For some of these, a third-world status in this as well as other important sectors is a definite possibility.
Especially given the aggressive policies of some European countries as well as China (whose increased focus on the software sector is notable).
As a means of introducing my research on this subject, I have provided links to just two of the many articles I have written. The first is titled Public Sector Procurement Practice and the Principles of External Economies, Clustering and the Global Value Chain.
The second link is to a reader question I received regarding the influence that small-medium enterprises have on a nation's economy.
There are major changes ahead. And while outsourcing comes as no surprise to anyone, the ripple effect on an individual nation's economy is going to be far greater than anyone could have anticipated.
