Completing this project will require research and analysis, as well as reflection and introspection. The end result will be two papers that apply what you have learned to a real company doing business globally. In Part 2, assume that your company has agreed with your site recommendation.

You should plan to be there for about three years. You will begin your assignment immediately and must be prepared to leave for the new site in 90 days. Upon arrival, you will need to hire a competent workforce – both workers and local area managers – to staff the facility. Moreover, as managing director, you will be responsible both for a successful start-up and for subsequent operations of the entire facility.
