A common consequence of offshore outsourcing is the challenge of working across different time zones. This can complicate real-time collaboration, slow down communication, and require adjustments in meeting schedules.
Option A: Vague and not a direct consequence.
Option C: While management overhead may increase, time zone coordination is a more universal and immediate issue.
Option D: Feedback cycles may be affected, but time zone issues are the root cause.
Thus, the main consequence is time zone coordination issues.
