Is there anyone on here interested in being a subject matter expert on the challenges facing management?

I have a 20-30 page report I am required to do for my Capstone project to complete my Bachelors degree. It is about the challenges facing management throughout history, culminating with the challenges facing managers when jobs are outsourced overseas. I would need to interview you via internet or phone, and my professor would need to talk to you as well, via phone. The report and PowerPoint presentation will be due in 6 weeks. Is there anyone on here who has knowledge or experience with this type of thing, and is willing to be my subject matter expert? Thank you in advance for considering this.

I do not have a ton of experience with military leadership, if that is what you're specifically looking for. However, I do have an extensive civilian managerial background, including some hard-learned lessons on leading millenials and the pitfalls of diversity based hiring.

UPDATE: Thank you again to the gentlemen who responded, and are willing to assist me in my project. I have completed the interview questions and I have sent them via email to the participants. I look forward to receiving the responses. I am continuing to plug away at the thesis. I have four weeks to submit it and I believe I should make the deadline with little to no problem. This, along with my hectic work schedule is why I have not been on RP as much lately. I can't wait to complete this so I can finally graduate. It is long overdue.

I am no expert but the American competitive edge is high tech, but we often build factories where the wages are much lower to produce hi tech items. This gives the foreign country manufacturing know how and accelerates them to become industrialized. Japan saw S Korea as a fertile industrial country and invested in it. Then the world saw China as the next opportunity for cheap labor and the rest of the countries invested in manufacturing in that country.
