Case Memo 2 Case
The Case of the Plant Relocation
You are the chief
executive of Electrocorp, an electronics company, which makes the onboard
computer components for automobiles. In your production plants, complex
hydrocarbon solvents are used to clean the chips and other parts that go into
the computer components. Some of the solvents used are carcinogens and must be
handled with extreme care. Until recently, all of your production plants were
located in the United States. However, the cost of production has risen,
causing profits to decline.
A number of factors have
increased production costs. First, the union representing the workers in your
plant waged a successful strike resulting in increased salary and benefits. The
pay and benefits package for beginning employees is around $15/hour. A second
factor has been stringent safety regulations. These safety procedures, which
apply inside the plant, have been expensive in both time and money. Finally,
environmental regulations have made Electrocorp’s operations more costly.
Electrocorp is required to put its waste through an expensive process before
depositing it at a special disposal facility.
Shareholders have been complaining
to you about the declining fortunes of the company. Many of Electrocorp’s
competitors have moved their operations to less-developed countries, where
their operating costs are less than in the United States, and you have begun to
consider whether to relocate a number of plants to offshore sites. Electrocorp
is a major employer in each of the U.S. cities where it is located, and you
know that a plant closure will cause economic dislocation in these communities.
You know that the employees who will be laid off because of plant closures will
have difficulty finding equivalent positions and that increased unemployment,
with its attendant social costs, will result. However, you are aware of many
other corporations, including your competitors, that have shut down their U.S.
operations, and it is something that you are willing to consider.
You have hired a
consultant, Martha Smith, to investigate the sites for possible plant
relocation. Ms. Smith has years of experience working with companies that have
moved their operations to less-developed countries to reduce their operating
costs. Based on your own research, you have asked Ms. Smith to more fully
investigate the possibility of operations in Mexico, the Philippines, and South
Africa. A summary of her report and recommendation for each country follows:
