Imagine for a moment that you are our beloved Coach K. One day, you wake up and decide that you’ve had it with the NCAA and their rules—their unfair calls on Lee, their causing Shelden and Shavlik to foul out game after game. You decide to lead a revolution against the NCAA. You start scheduling matches on the side, booking your own stadiums, coordinating your own schedules.

An ad proposing that decision in a fall issue of The Chronicle was the latest in a long line of career choices increasingly impacted by the globalized economy. The advertiser was the Indian company Infosys, a leading firm that finds Indian employees willing to do American jobs--only the Indians work faster and for a fraction of the cost. But why advertise in a Duke publication? Simple: A new trend among foreign outsourcing firms is having American bosses to bridge the cultural divide.
