Silicon Valley's Risky Complacency

JSB and I just published a column on Business Week's web site regarding "SIlicon Valley's Risky Complacency".  We are both struck by how complacent U.S. business executives are regarding the business implications of offshoring. It is in sharp contrast to the intense urgency we see when we talk to executives in China and India.  Complacency has always been risky and it is even more so today.
