Course Learning Outcome:3

Recognize how global competitive environments are changing supply chain management and logistics practice.

Assignment Workload:

This assignment is an individual assignment.

Critical Thinking

In today’s highly competitive, highly unpredictable, and dynamic environment, many organizations are searching for solutions. Businesses begin to realize that doing the right thing is more thrilling than doing everything as supply chain management becomes more complicated and the gap between what they want to do and what they can achieve internally widens. As a result, businesses become more specialized and sharper by outsourcing and offshoring jobs that are not relevant to their core business. Companies usually decide to hire agents or outside logistics firms to do this task entirely or in part.

Answer the following questions by mentioning any Saudi company is considering shifting part of its manufacturing operations to an offshore supplier to reduce costs. However, recent global disruptions (such as pandemics, geopolitical tensions, and transportation delays) have highlighted vulnerabilities in globally dispersed supply chains.

Question:

1. What services do third-party logistics providers offer to ensure the seamless operation of a multinational corporation’s supply chain? (3 Mark)

2. What are the primary drivers of international business expansion? (3 Mark)

3. Why do businesses try to outsource their operations to developing countries? Provide specific examples. (Mention the country and decisive factors) (3 Mark)

4. References (Use APA style of referencing (1 Mark)

The Answer must follow the Keyword/ outline points below:

Each answer should be 250 to 300words.

Case study

Please readCase 9: FDI in the Indian Retail Sectoravailable in your book International Business: Competing in the Global Marketplace (13th ed.), at page no.637, and answer the following questions:

1. What explains the fragmented nature of Indias retail sector? What are the benefits of this system? What are the costs? (2 Marks)

The fragmented nature of Indias retail sector can be explained by the dominance of small, family-owned businesses and traditional market structures. Many retailers operate on a very small scale due to limited access to capital, low entry barriers, and strong cultural preferences for local shops.

This system provides several benefits. It creates employment opportunities for a large number of people and supports local communities. Additionally, small retailers often offer personalized services and flexible pricing that appeal to customers.

However, there are also costs. Fragmentation leads to inefficiencies in supply chains, higher distribution costs, and limited economies of scale. It also reduces the ability to maintain consistent product quality and limits technological advancement in the sector.

2. How might investment by foreign retailers change retailing in India? What are the potential benefits of such FDI? (2 Marks)

3. Who stands to lose from FDI into Indias retail sector? Who stands to gain? (2 Marks)

4. Why has India been so slow to change its laws regarding foreign ownership of retailers? What, if anything, can foreign retailers do to influence the laws in a way that benefits entry? (2 Marks)

5. Given the political and economic realities in India, what is the best entry strategy for a foreign retailer? (2 Marks)
