Multiple Choice

Scenario 15.1
From 2008, ForEx Inc. has shifted some of its operations to China and Malaysia, where production costs are considerably lower compared to Canada.

Of the 35 managers only 5 were women, even though women make up 40 percent of the management team. Expatriates on long- term assignments are given financial incentives to offset any qualitative differences between the costs of living in the two locations.
