Plastic Bottle Supply to China: Global Considerations Report

Scenario:

Hello Logistics Team. This is Mr. President here in our Hangzhou,
China location. Once again, I want to reiterate the Logistics Team is
doing an outstanding job. Thank you for leading the transportation bid
process. It is interesting to see how Convoy Trucking won the bid and
has invested in additional equipment. Business here in China has
evolved. Customers are delighted with our company and have requested
supply for plastic bottles from our Albany, GA location. The company has
decided to go global with the plastic bottles. The challenge is the
plastic bottle supply chain is different than the existing products
supplied by our company in China. Once again, I am in need for the
Logistics Team to manage the aspect of this product expansion to China. I
will be traveling to other regions of the world the next few days and I
am looking forward to reading the report and presenting a plan to the
Board of Directors by the end of the week. Regards, Mr. President.

Prepare a 700- to 1,050-word global considerations
report which will be used to discuss and examine the advantages and
disadvantages of becoming a global enterprise. Include the following in
your report:

• A brief overview describing the current logistics network given in
  this scenario and how your team would transition that network to a
  global supply chain. Be creative and design both the current and future
  networks as your team wishes to maximize the logistics efficiencies
  available.
• An analysis on the ethical and legal considerations in logistics
  management, both within the domestic United States and internationally.
• Analyze the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the supply chain given global distribution.
• Identification, and further examination, of the importance of
  cultural considerations when negotiating supply chain contracts in a
  global environment.
