6.1 True/False Questions

Topic: 6.1 The Impact of Globalization on Supply Chain Networks
AACSB: Application of knowledge
Objective: LO 6.1: Identify factors that need to be included in total cost when making global
sourcing decisions.
2) The degree of demand and price uncertainty has a significant influence on the appropriate
portfolio of long- and short-term warehousing space that a firm should carry.
