| Abstract: | Allocating the operations of multinational enterprises to geographic locations where performance can be optimized has become an important strategic issue. In view of the continuing growth of intenational trade and foreign direct investment, managers need systematic procedures to determine global allocation strategies. Available frameworks on global business strategy are typically abstract and generalized, making them less suited for the development of tailor-made allocation strategies. Quantitative allocation models in operations research tend to be biased towards optimizing mathematical algorithms. |
