This research paper: A 5 page paper based on Harvard case 392-108 discussing the rationale for AT&T Consumer Products to locate an offshore manufacturing facility in Mexico rather than in Malaysia or the US in the late 1980s. Manufacturing costs were far too high in the US in the era of such sweeping change in American manufacturing, and the paper maintains that Malaysia is not politically stable enough to ensure that the country will not nationalize an AT&T facility constructed there. The paper recommends that the company locate in Mexico, putting into practice those programs it would have in a US facility - environmental standards and employee assistance programs - to create an intensely loyal and qualified workforce while still realizing greatly reduced manufacturing costs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
