You are vice president of operations for a global business that is in the first stages of launching a range of products and services into the Malaysian market. You are aware of the fact that the country boosts a diverse population with distinctive cultural, social, and political segments. It may therefore be necessary to factor in different traditions and views that are held by the different groups.
You are the production manager for a global business with assembly facilities around the world. The business has tended to manufacture in the home country, a developed one, with the assembly of the products taking place in a strategically located country in each of the major groupings of markets. You have been asked to look at relocating some of the production of the older product lines in some of these assembly facilities and using them as production plants.
Traditionally production has worked closely with research and development in the home country. Your changes need to reflect the fact that sales have fallen in the home market with increased competition. At the same time, key markets around the world are booming. “Home or abroad?” is the question and the potential future of the business is in your hands.
