Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking which factor should NOT be considered when deciding to use a global workforce planning strategy. Option D, the choice of cost leadership or differentiation strategy, is not directly related to the decision to use a global workforce. Instead, it is a separate strategic decision that may be impacted by the use of a global workforce but is not a factor to consider when making the decision to use one. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
