  2011 JUN 25 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "This research identifies and analyzes the underlying elements and consequences of consumer sentiment toward offshored services. This is accomplished by initially conceptualizing consumer sentiment toward offshored services, then developing and validating a multidimensional scale (OFFSERVSENT) to measure the construct," researchers in Hempstead, United States report.

  "This research determines that consumer sentiment toward offshored services is instrumental in explaining consumers' commitment to and global attitudes toward firms that offshore services as well as consumers' word-of-mouth behavior.
