- Metrics

Abstract

This disguised case examines the issue of outsourcing to a low-cost country based on a thorough analysis of competitive cost drivers. The case demonstrates that labor cost is only one potential advantage and that transportation cost and other factors could more than offset labor savings in some product lines.
