Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maquiladora phenomenon refers to the low-wage manufacturing zone in the US-Mexican border region. This is not directly related to Blickinstock's decision to expand in Latin America, as the options presented are in remote regions of Argentina. Therefore, this information may not be relevant to the decision-making process.
