In the 1970/80s, Western companies started to offshore their manufacturing to China. Today, we can observe a slowly increasing trend to shift manufacturing (especially light manufacturing, e.g., footwear, garment, etc. to Africa, as labour costs in China have increased over the years.]]> 2021-02-12 10:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195846582 https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195850279 I would sum up saying that it is matter of comparative advantage of some locations]]> 2021-02-12 10:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195850279 karenyang147 https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195858026 I  think it would be easier due to the increased availability of service providers in the more recent years.  ]]> 2021-02-12 10:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195858026 agranhe https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195858498 Reduce costs and also different cultures and backgrounds could provide different inputs and different expertise which could be needed in the business functions.]]> 2021-02-12 10:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195858498 christianankerwiik https://padlet.com/karenyang147/hhv5vvshsyo14zdz/wish/1195859160 Technology has enabled more digital assets which leads to more flexibility but with the same upside as the more commited modes. You can move more freely around and in/out of modes.
