Problem: Create a hypothetical global corporation and answer the five basic questions that deal with production:
Q1. Where should production be located and should it be concentrated or dispersed?
Q2. What should be the long-term strategic role of foreign productions sites? Should the firm abandon a foreign site if factor costs change, or is there value to maintaining an operation at a given location even if economic conditions change?
Q3. Should the firm own foreign production or should production be outsourced?
Q4. How should a globally-dispersed supply chain be managed?
Q5. Should the firm manage the logistics or outsource their management?
