Description
Summary:The primary subject matter for this case is the decision to outsource components from outside the country of origin. A recently privatized manufacturer of tractors and combines in Romania recently had an order returned because of faulty second tier supplier parts. Secondary issues are the buyer power of the major purchaser of this company's tractors and combines. A tertiary issue would be the economic decision making process balanced with international management issues. This case is appropriate for juniors and seniors in international business, strategy, economics, or political science. The difficulty level is three to four, and the hours of preparation outside of class would be an hour or less. One should expect this case take no more than an hour of class time.
