Back-office work? and a crown jewel of corporate America?

The exporting of jobs by ReaMetrix is telling evidence that relentless shifting of employment to countries like India and China that has occurred in manufacturing, back-office work and computer programming is now spreading to a crown jewel of corporate America: the medical and drug industries.

what's the back-office work? and what does the "Crown jewel of corporate America" mean?

Thanks,

Back-office work is the work that does not involve meeting the customers, hence work that can be done elsewhere than at the marketplace (whatever form that may take) 'The crown jewel' is the most impressive/most well-managed/most successful-- anyway, the center of attraction; I am not familiar with the medical and drug industries' particular corporate characteristics being referred to here.
