The Case
Your company is considering moving your car manufacturing assembly plant from the U.S. to Mexico. Your boss has asked you to provide a summary analysis of the relocation, a strategic planning document of the move versus non-move for your company’s final decision.
Draw the analysis in the following format:
1. The benefits of moving the plant to Mexico
2. The costs or consequences of moving the plant to Mexico
3. The affected or impacted stakeholders
4. The strategic implications of moving to Mexico versus not moving there
5. Your HRM and training plan
6. Your intended stance towards social responsibility while there, including your rationale.
7. Some key factors about the culture and conditions of the typical Mexican factory workers in
that area (did you choose a specific area or city to locate in or just general facts about
Mexico will do here) and what might motivate workers there versus a discussion of the
culture/conditions and motivation of the workers here in the US.
8. Conclusions and your final recommendations to your company and boss on whether or not to
make the move.
