Investigate such international supply chains and answer the following questions in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document:
When determining the supplier who should be used in procuring a product, to what extent does location (proximity to the customer) impact the desirability of a supplier?
What factors can offset (at least partially, if not entirely) the lack of desirability of a location (in terms of its proximity to the customer)?
How is supplier selection related to the execution of a successful corporate strategy?
What company is well known for its successful or tightly integrated supply chain relationships? Cite a source for your suggested company to document that the company is thought to do well in the competitive environment.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.
