He may need to be the CEO of a large firm, which turns printed documents into searchible and linked presentations, in a small town and employs over half the townsfolk.
He may be the son of the owner, pitched in to sink or swim by his daddy, on a shakedown cruise for his entry into management. Moving the operational aspects to foreign shores is his breaking-in task. Daddy really doesn't agree with these new ways of doing things, but has no choice. He has spies reporting the young man's every move.
The citizens hear the company wants to move the jobs they do overseas to stay competitive, and volunteer to do it for same price less company's normal employee expenses. They need to pay bills and are willing to tighten their belts than be Out Of Work.
The son has had a long experience of the tactics of daddy in college and other venues and is overly confident, but sincere in the noble cause of his fellow local inhabitants. And a couple of old high school acquaintances who can be seen from time to time smacking their fists into their palms.
Out of the sight of the old man's reporters, he enters into a binding contract with his own workers to this effect. Daddy is not pleased. But there's nothing daddy can do about it.
Events flowing outward from that approach will get the attention of the M&D insurance firm which had a lock on the group insurance needs of company for some years. They send an agent to investigate.
The agent of course is young, beautiful, and slightly overzealous in her support for global distribution of the workforce (her job, of course, of investigative agent, can't be done overseas). Her attraction to a global economy would be based on the security such a interdependent world could bring about.
Standard malarkey follows with resolution toward concepts of prosperous independence learned by all.
A couple story lines about the experience the local merchants have and the effects on their businesses. Several of the local business have small accounts with the same M&D dealers.
The owner of one such would have to be an old flame of the investigator lady. They hate each other, except for the single area of global economy, he for his reasons and she for hers.
They work toward thwarting the company's approach to the problem, while romantic relationship blooms between investigatrix and (shakily probationary) CEO.
I don't know about songs. I'm not musical.
