Task: Aussie Textiles is a Queensland medium-sized manufacturer of quality garments. Due to increased competition from cheaper imported goods, the company is contemplating the establishment of a manufacturing plant in Asia to reduce the cost of manufacturing at home. The company has identified Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Vietnam as potential countries for the establishment of the overseas manufacturing plant. You are required to choose ONE of these countries, and write a report identifying the advantages and disadvantages of operating in that country. In preparing your report, you are required to link your arguments to the course content, and to use relevant data to support your suggestion as to why the selected country would be appropriate (or inappropriate) for the overseas expansion. Please note: The purpose of this assessment is to analyse the potential of the country as a host-market for manufacturing (macro-level analysis). However, industry level information will also be required in the report. Further information will be made available on UTS Online and discussed in Lecture 1
