Summary/Abstract: Continuous globalization processes and the blurring of boundaries between countries allow businesses to operate on a scale never seen before. This has the particular importance to a service economy, where more and more often not the location but the intellectual capital plays a crucial role; particularly it relates to companies in the high-tech sector. The XXIst century is mostly competition for the new forms of capital, such as intellectual and cultural capital. Undoubtedly, offshoring based on information and communication technology now experiencing its heyday, becomes increasingly important for the developing countries such as Poland. The aim of the article is to explain the concept of offshoring, it prospects and motives, which make managers move “orders, production and services” abroad, giving examples of companies such as HP, IBM, McKinsey & Co.
