9-4 International Supply Chains ⚫ International distribution systems ⚫ Manufacturing still occurs domestically, but distribution and typically some marketing take place overseas. ⚫ International suppliers ⚫ Raw materials and components are furnished by foreign suppliers ⚫ Final assembly is performed domestically. ⚫ In some cases, the final product is then shipped to foreign markets. ⚫ Offshore manufacturing ⚫ Product is typically sourced and manufactured in a single foreign location ⚫ Shipped back to domestic warehouses for sale and distribution ⚫ Fully integrated global supply chain ⚫ Products are supplied, manufactured, and distributed from various facilities located throughout the world

9-8 Technological Forces ⚫ Related to the products ⚫ Various subcomponents and technologies available in different regions and locations ⚫ Successful firms need to use these resources quickly and effectively. ⚫ Locate research, design, and production facilities close to these regions. ⚫ Frequently collaborate, resulting in the location of joint facilities close to one of the partners. ⚫ Global location of research-and-development facilities driven by two main reasons: ⚫ As product cycles shrink, locate research facilities close to manufacturing facilities. ⚫ Specific technical expertise may be available in certain areas or regions

9-9 Global Cost Forces ⚫ Often dictate global location decisions ⚫ Costs of cheaper unskilled labor more than offset by the increase in other costs associated with operating facilities in remote locations. ⚫ In some cases cheaper labor is sufficient justification for overseas manufacturing. ⚫ Other global cost forces have become more significant ⚫ Cheaper skilled labor is drawing an increasing number of companies overseas
