Abstract
Country Analysis: Canada, Mali and Riordan Manufacturing's Expansion Plans

From the Paper:

"In closing, the last several pages have offered a brief profile of Canada and of Mali. In so doing, what has become apparent is that Canada is a much more attractive expansion choice for Riordan Manufacturing and one which must be pursued aggressively. While Mali is not without opportunity - the country is teeming with people and undoubtedly wants to tap into specialized manufacturing technology from the West anyway it can - the reality is that the country simply offers too many challenges politically, socially and legally. Ultimately, Riordan Manufacturing should look to Vancouver, BC, as its best chance for optimal profitability and success."
