| Abstract: | Manufacturing site location has received limited exposure in strategic planning literature. Approaches often emphasize quantitative data such as transport costs, exchange rates, taxes, labour rates, and other cost-based variables. Yet location decisions based primarily on cost underestimate the importance of qualitative factors that are more likely to provide long-term advantages. This article examines the impact on location of recent trends in the global trading environment, new production systems, and nw technologies. |
