As managing director, I believe the best option is to make the direct investment in becoming a local manufacturer in Zempa. I think this is the best option for all the reasons that the strategic planning director mentioned . It is not guaranteed that staying as an exporter for Zempa, they will continue to be as profitable as they are now. Because if they decide to begin going local, they will not be requiring to pay exporting fees to Electronics International, if it will be more affordable with a local company, such as its current competitors. By becoming local manufacturer before its competitors put them ahead of the game, and almost guarantees their place when any other new company decides to start working with them locally. If they decide to stay as exporter, not only are the risking to lose the business from Zempa, all together but they could also lose opportunities of growth, not just within Zempa but with other countries as well .
