Abstract

The goal of this project is to find out if Spain is undergoing a disinvestment process in foreign service companies which might be leading to offshoring. To achieve this – after tackling conceptual and methodological aspects – a company's total disinvestment has been estimated. Subsequently, its ratio to gross investment has been evaluated for the whole sector and for all the activities the company performed in the 1993–2004 period. The result does not show a worrying disinvestment process. Over the last year in the study, though, a significant change has been seen, which might suggest the beginning of a disinvestment process in some activities – as is happening worldwide.

外国公司正在从西班牙转移服务?

这个项目的目标是查明西班牙是否正在经历对外国服务公司的撤资过程，这可能导致离岸外包。为了实现这一目标——在解决了概念和方法方面的问题之后——对一家公司的总撤资进行了估计。随后，对整个部门和公司在1993-2004年期间开展的所有活动的总投资比率进行了评估。这一结果并未显示出令人担忧的撤资过程。然而，在过去一年的研究中，已经看到了一个重大的变化，这可能表明在某些活动中开始了撤资过程- -正如世界各地正在发生的那样。
