Four Global Operations Strategies Why Global Issues are Important
7
Examples of Global Strategies Boeing – both sales and production are worldwide. Benetton – moves inventory to stores around the
world faster than its competitor by building flexibility into design, production, and distribution
Sony – purchases components from suppliers in Thailand, Malaysia, and around the world
GM is building four similar plants in Argentina, Poland, China, and Thailand

Defining Global Operations International business - engages in cross-border transactions
Multinational Corporation - has extensive involvement in international business, owning or controlling facilities in more than one country
Global company - integrates operations from different countries, and views world as a single marketplace
Transnational company - seeks to combine the benefits of global-scale efficiencies with the benefits of local responsiveness

Reasons to Globalize Operations
Reduce costs (labor, taxes, tariffs, etc.) Improve the supply chain Provide better goods and services Attract new markets Learn to improve operations Attract and retain global talent
Tangible
Intangible

Trade and Tariff
Maquiladoras - Mexican factories located along the U.S.-Mexico border that receive preferential tariff treatment
GATT - an international treaty that helps promote world trade by lowering barriers to the free flow of goods across borders
NAFTA - a free trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States

Free trade may take us into the era of the floating factory - a six
person crew will take a factory from port to port in order to obtain the best market,
material, labor and tax advantages
22
Achieving Global Operations-Four Considerations-
Global product design Global process design and technology Global factory location analysis Impact of Culture and Ethics
23
Global Product Design
Remember social and cultural differences packaging and marketing can help make
product seem “domestic” but - “liter” versus “quart” “sweetness” and “taste”
24
Global Process Design and Technology
Information technology enables management of integrated, globally dispersed operation
Texas Instruments: 50 plants in 19 countries Hewlett-Packard - product development
teams in U.S., Japan, Great Britain, and Germany
Reduces time-to-market
25
Global Facility Location Analysis
Select CSFs based on parent organization;’s strategic or operations objectives
Obtain country-specific information on the CSFs
Evaluate each country’s CSFs using a 1 (bad) to 5 (good) rating scale
Sum the ratings
Using CSFs for Country Selection

To Establish Global Services
Determine if sufficient people or facilities exist to support the service
Identify foreign markets that are open - not controlled by governments
Determine what services are of most interest to foreign customers
Determine how to reach global customers

Managing Global Service Operations
Must take a different perspective on Capacity planning Location Planning Facilities design and layout Scheduling
31
Some Definitions
International business A firm that engages in cross-border
transactions.
Multinational Corporation (MNC) A firm that has extensive involvement in
international business, owning or controlling facilities in more than one country
32
Some Global Strategies International Strategy: uses exports and licenses to
penetrate the global area Multidomestic Strategy: uses decentralized authority with
substantial autonomy at each business Global Strategy: Uses a high degree of centralization, with
headquarters coordinating to seek standardization and learning between plants
Transnational Strategy: Exploits economies of scale and learning, as well as pressure for responsiveness, by recognizing that core competencies reside everywhere in the organization

Competing on Differentiation
Uniqueness can go beyond both the physical characteristics and service attributes to
encompass everything that impacts customer’s perception of value
46
Competing on Cost
Provide the maximum value as perceived by customer
Does not imply low value or low quality
48
Competing, Regardless of the Basis,
Requires the institutionalization within the firm of the ability to change, and to adapt

entrants into the market Current and prospective environmental, legal, and
economic issues The notion of product life cycle Resources available with the firm and within the
OM function Integration of OM strategy with company strategy
