Problem:
When making decisions about global strategies, many companies believe they should widely spread out activities to ensure opportunities are captured. Intel Corporation (https://www.intel.com/?en_US_01) uses very sophisticated models in its supply chain management to determine answers to questions such as the number of locations and the assignment of market areas and products to facilities. Explore the countries in which Intel operates and the kind of operation in each country. Explain why Intel uses the sources and locations it does. What are the geographical/location advantages for operations in each country? Why do they think Intel selected those locations? What are the benefits to the company as a whole of these multiple locations?
