Case Problem:
You are CEO of a firm that regularly imports consumer electronic devices from plants in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They are shipped to you by ocean carrier through the South China Sea. They are sold in the United States and exported to ports in Europe and the Middle East. What kind of information do you need in assessing the risk potential to your cargo passing through these dangerous waters? What will the sources of your information be? What sources are available in your library? Which are commercially available? If part of your job is to keep abreast of developments on a daily basis, where will you obtain that information? What types of information might be available from freight forwarders, steamship companies, local port authorities, and insurers?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
