Part 1
"You own a company that employs about two hundred people in Maine to produce hockey sticks. Why might you decide to outsource your production to Indonesia?
Would closing your plant and moving your operations overseas help or hurt the U.S. economy? Who would be hurt? Who would be helped?
Now, armed with answers to these questions, ask yourself whether you would indeed move your facilities or continue making hockey sticks in Maine. Explain your decision."
Part 2
Role play: Imagine you are a business executive and wanted to prepare for the future global business marketplace.
Based on the chapter readings, and the Emerging Middle Class- Changing Global Marketplace video, what would you do to prepare? Be sure to explain your answer and cite your sources.
