Case Study

Company Name: Marcia Lee Jeans

Company Information: Marcia Lee Jeans is a company that is based in NY. It is a brand that is well known in the U.S. The jeans sell in the upper price ranges and appeal to fashion conscious people aged 15-40. They are distributed in major department stores throughout the country. At present, the jeans are made in the U.S. by a number of factories on the East coast, none of which are owned by the company. Competition in this segment of the market is strong, so the company has to keep costs as low as possible in order to remain profitable. In the next 10 years, the company plans to expand in Europe and Southeast Asia so that it becomes a global company. To do this, it has decided to build its own factory in an overseas country. The factory will have approximately 2,000 workers who will produce the jeans. These workers will be recruited locally. Denim, the raw material which is used to make jeans will be imported from several countries. The company is considering two countries as a location for their new factory.
