Is the move to outsource supposed to be about quality or about cost?

If the problem is quality, then why aren't local workers good enough
and what makes outsourced workers that extra special?

If it is about cost, what makes outsourcing better when the 
project is spiralling out of control and outsourced project
management is often a criteria in the blowout, often leading 
to lack of quality?

Why do the corporates choose cost over quality, when in the long
run, outsourcing actually costs more?
