Create a hypothetical global corporation and answer the five basic questions that deal with production:

• Where should production be located and should it be concentrated or dispersed?
• What should be the long-term strategic role of foreign productions sites?  Should the firm abandon a foreign site if factor costs change, or is there value to maintaining an operation at a given location even if economic conditions change?
• Should the firm own foreign production or should production be outsourced?
• How should a globally-dispersed supply chain be managed?
• Should the firm manage the logistics or outsource their management?
