From the Paper:

"Globalization is a modern business phenomenon. For companies to survive in today's marketplace it is almost essential that they spread their resources overseas: "By assessing the relative and risks of making or buying, companies can leverage their skills and resources for increased profitability Outside of the United States opportunities exist for cheaper means of production, labor, and even customer service" (Quinn, 1995). Today, multinational companies are more important than at any time in the past. Your typical product, whether it is automobiles or army men, is manufactured in different locations all across the planet."
