Cognitive Domain: Knowledge
Difficulty Level: Easy
2. The benefits of offshoring include being able to tap a larger pool of skilled people, get
work done faster, and lower a company’s labor costs. Nike offshores simple assembly and
packaging and maintains R&D and design in-house. This is to minimize the risk of excessive
reliance on third parties and lack of in-house expertise of critical business operations.
Cognitive Domain: Knowledge
Difficulty Level: Easy
3. A company usually outsources work to take advantage of specialized skills, cost
efficiencies, or operational flexibility they may be lacking. India has low labor costs, many
English speakers, and an educated workforce. The ability to speak English with high
technical skills are some of the critical characteristics to look for when hiring Indian
employees for the call center.
Cognitive Domain: Knowledge
Difficulty Level: Easy
4. Answers will vary. Quantitative skills, people management skills, negotiation skills,
problem-solving skills, and information technology skills are some of the skills successful
managers in operations and supply chain management would need. These skills are important
for making operations and supply chain–related decisions such as purchasing, quality control,
inventory management, and scheduling.

in locational transformations of packages from their sources of origin to their destinations.
Transactional: Amazon specializes in transactional transformation of e-commerce by
exchanging goods and services from sellers with monetary payments from buyers.
Physiological: MD Anderson specializes in physiological transformation through cancer
treatments for its patients. Psychological: Cirque du Soleil specializes in psychological
transformations through audience experiences at its shows. Informational: Harvard
specializes in informational transformation through postsecondary educational experiences at
its campus.

Difficulty Level: Easy
8. Transparency.org shows the following countries’ rankings for 2016 (out of a total 175):
Nigeria, 136; Bangladesh, 145; and Venezuela, 166. Nigeria would be the safer choice by

aligning supplier strengths and tendencies with your own is best.

unanticipated demand but require more coordination and complicate communication.
