Debate on how feasible for a manufacturer to move their facility from one country to another country. What are some major supply chain fixed and variable costs, service time and ecosystem aspects that Sonos’s managers should have taken into account when making the decision to relocate to Malaysia?

The speaker maker Sonos Inc., which sells voice-activated, internet-connected speakers and other audio electronics, plans to source all of its U.S.-bound products from Malaysia by the fall. The U.S. being the company’s core market, generating more than half of its revenue, has been working on relocating orders with Chinese suppliers to Malaysia to diversify its supply chain in response to the trade tensions between China and the U.S., reports The Wall Street Journal (28 May 2021).
Several manufacturers of textile, footwear and other low-margin products have been relocating out of China for years due to rising cost of production. Tariffs have exacerbated the trend, specifically following the ‘trade tensions’ between China and the U.S. Many tech companies, however, find it more difficult to relocate from China to other countries. For example, Sonos’s efforts of boosting production capacity in Malaysia have been hampered by the coronavirus restrictions, challenges in hiring workers and shortage of semiconductors. “It has taken longer than we thought it would, but we’re still very much on track with our Malaysia strategy,” said the company’s financial chief officer. Among China’s major attractions are well-developed chains of suppliers and reliable infrastructure, much of it built in the past 20 years. A plentiful labor force skilled in precision manufacturing as well as trained engineers and pro-business government policies also make China appealing. And for those companies looking to sell into the large Chinese market, producing in the country is more competitive than importing.

Compare the effectiveness of two examples of international entrepreneurial landmine clearance in post conflict
spaces?

the question is about the EFFECTIVENESS of the method, not the method. This means you will need to discuss
first what you mean by effectiveness, of course. the methods themselves are not the centre of the essay, it is the effectiveness that is the issue, and for that, you
need to discuss what effectiveness means: effective at what? Number of mines moved? Economic regeneration
achieved? Lives saved? Amount of population increase/migration in an area? Rise of particular activity like
tourism Etc.

People, Interests, Options, Criteria (PIOC) Analysis Overview and Section IV: Communication Strategies

Section III: People, Interests, Options, Criteria (PIOC) Analysis Overview and Section IV: Communication Strategies
Paper details:
Prompt: Effective negotiations are designed with four key focus areas in mind: people, interests, options, and criteria (PIOC). Focusing on these four variables
assists in reaching a successful negotiation outcome, a key deliverable for this milestone. Refer to Module One for information regarding PIOC. Discussions
on possible ZOPA and BATNA agreements should also be reviewed in the completion of this milestone. In addition to submitting a draft of Section III: PIOC
Analysis Overview, you will also include Section IV: Communication Strategies of the final project. Section IV asks you to consider the overt and tacit
communication strategies that can be used during the negotiations, as well as their benefits and risks. These two sections should be revised, based on
instructor feedback, and then submitted as part of your analysis and negotiation coaching recommendations for executive leadership final project, due in
Module Ten. Specifically, your milestone submission must address the following critical elements: III. IV. PIOC Analysis Overview A. Formulate appropriate
phrasing for the CHRO’s opening remarks that separate the people from the problems. Your phrasing must be based on principled negotiation practices. B.
Identify case-specific negotiating positions and rephrase them as interests. In other words, Sharon Slade and Alice Jones’ ZOPA and BATNA positions should
be referred to as case-specific negotiating interests. For example, one of Alice Jones’ possible ZOPA positions may be to obtain a 52-week severance
package, during which her compensation and benefits continue through the severance period. This can be rephrased as an interest by adding Alice Jones’
rationale for this position: 52 weeks of severance allows for adequate time to find a comparable position as well as time for her family to relocate to a new
geographic region. You have the option of using a table to illustrate each position and the appropriate rephrased interest (one row per position-interest). C.
Recommend options that can appropriately address the parties’ integrative interests. You will want to use the open, closed, alternative, and leading questions
developed in the Module Five assignment to craft an integrative bargaining proposal. Feel free to consider potential creative options that may not be as
common. D. Identify objective criteria that can be used to measure distributive elements of the negotiation. Explain the reasoning for your choices.
Communication Strategies A. Identify examples of effective overt communication that could be used in this negotiation. Explain the reasoning for your
choices. For example, when hearing a proposal from the executive that would be risky from a human resources perspective, how would you respond? Why?
B. Identify situations where tacit communication is important to this negotiation. Provide examples of how you might use such communication at upcoming
meetings. For example, if you are making an offer to the executive, what non-verbal cues can you provide to let him/her know the offer is final and you would
not be open to negotiating further? C. Contrast the benefits and risks of using overt and tacit communication methods with respect to this negotiation. For
example, might one particular method be more appropriate than the other? Why? In your submission, you should recommend options that address both
parties’ distributive and integrative interests, using both overt and tacit communication prompts that could be used in the negotiation meeting by Sharon
Slade. Consider blind spots that Sharon Slade may have (but may not be aware of) and that Alice Jones may know. You will want to refer to our readings on
the Johari window that address this issue. Be sure to address these potential blind spots when formulating the negotiating positions that you will
recommend to Sharon Slade. Doing this will increase the likelihood of reaching an integrative, win-win negotiation outcome. Rubric Guidelines for
Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a three-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one inch
margins, and at least three sources cited in APA 6th edition format. You may also submit the milestone as a five- to six-slide PowerPoint deck, not counting
the title slide or reference slide, with speaker notes provided on each slide. It should be of professional quality and use APA 6th edition format.
