Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manufacturing activities have been more standardized and coordinated globally by companies due to the nature of production being more easily replicable and transferable across different regions. On the other hand, marketing activities often require a deep understanding of local cultures and consumer behaviors, leading to more adaptation and customization, which makes standardization more difficult. Research and development can also vary significantly due to factors such as local regulations and intellectual property laws, making standardization less common.
