In The Case of Plant Relocation (Santa Clara University), author Karen Musalo presents a realistic scenario where you (the reader) assume the CEO role of a
U.S. electronics company. You are tasked with making an informed, ethical decision about potentially relocating plant operations to another country.
Plant location options include the following:
- Mexico
- The Philippines
- South Africa
You may also choose to keep operating in the United States.
Read Musalo’s article. Consider the pros and cons of each plant location. Weigh each of the possible decisions and determine the best course of action.
Create a chart presenting the pros and cons of each of the three locations. Think about specific factors that would affect the decision (cost, culture, ect.).
Underneath your chart, indicate your choice for the best plant location. Write one paragraph justifying your reasoning.
