Problem:
Airbus announced it was building a new plant in Alabama. Can you assist me in answering the following questions based on information in conjunction with Foreign Direct Investment. Think about the implications and strategy that Airbus has taken in moving a large plant to the U.S. given that Airbus' major competitor in the U.S. is the manufacturer, Boeing.
1. Why did Airbus pursue a physical plant in the U.S.?
2. What are the benefits and costs to Airbus' home country?
3. What are the benefits and costs to the U.S.?
