| Abstract: | In an effort to fake advantage of access to valuable resource and increased market presence, many US manufacturers have pursued production sharing relationships in a variety of overseas locations. These efforts are seen as methods of combating several threats to firm performance: increased domestic production costs, escalating international manufacturing competition, and ever changing barriers to entry regulations. From perspective of an integrated North American competitive strategy, two geographic areas - Mexico and the Caribbean Basin have received much attention as potential operating locations. This study investigates and compares the manufacturing and logistics performance of US manufacturers. |
