Riordan Manufacturing in Canada or Mali

Paper Summary:

The paper reviews the relative technological sophistication, infrastructural status and demographics of Mali and Canada in order to determine which nation offers the greatest prospect of success for Riordan Manufacturing's expansion goals. The paper shows how Canada offers a far more literate pool of workers, greater technological capacity and innovation, a more predictable work culture and an older, more affluent consumer base which has the need and the accumulated wealth to purchase Riordan's products in large numbers.

From the Paper:

"Riordan Manufacturing's proposed overseas expansion into Mali and into Canada is one which, because of the scale and cost involved, demands that special attention be granted to a host of factors - technology, infrastructure and demographics being (arguably) chief among them. As mentioned in previous papers, Riordan Manufacturing is a company that specializes in plastic injection molding. Even more specifically, Riordan describes itself as being a company that possesses state-of-the-art capabilities and which produces innovative plastic designs prized the world over (Gobeli 2007). Simply put, this is a company that needs skilled workers in abundance in any overseas location and this is also a company that needs to situate itself in countries that have strong infrastructures, stable political environments, and upper-echelon technology if its international expansion is to be profitable and successful."
