Which is the driver of globalization for company-1 Four companies based in the UK are considering expanding globally. They all operate in the manufacturing industry, but their drivers for international expansion differ. While exploring options for growth, the four companies are concerned about different issues and challenges. Company 1: This company is always thinking about expanding its footprint globally. However, the company owners are concerned about communication problems in global business. The new procurement manager has assured them that the e-commerce system, specifically the modern high-speed internet system, can overcome these communication challenges. However, the company must be aware that, as its supply chain is located in different countries, the lack of physical oversight may lead to concerns about human rights and child labor, which could damage its reputation in the future. Company 2: Company 2 is a leader in toy manufacturing in the UK and wants to grow its business quickly. However, due to the limited capacity for growth in the domestic market, they want to expand into the global market, which will enable them to increase sales, profits, and shareholder value. The procurement manager is concerned about the behavior of the company's employees. Most employees are very conservative, so he believes that their attitudes and behaviors could pose challenges when doing business with a global supply chain. Company 3: This company reported a loss in the last financial quarter and is under pressure from the board of directors. They are considering relocating the manufacturing of some of their electrical equipment abroad, where labor is cheaper. They have identified potential new supply chain partners but are concerned that the working conditions in the factories in that country could lead to increased incidents and injuries. Company 4: Following Brexit, Company 4 is now spending a large proportion of its time and money on import/export forms and taxes. It is considering moving some of its manufacturing to an EU country where there would be no need to complete these additional forms, which could help bring profits back into the domestic economy. The concern in doing so is that other countries have different approaches to business and may not adhere to the same standards as the UK.
