*45、工厂选址
live;">V1live;">：live;">by dhjalksg(8.2423:00)
主要是讲工厂的选址问题。
第一段：作者认为现在企业不够重视工厂选址的问题。在选址是只考虑与原材料的距离，还有就是税率，关税，汇率之类的quantitive的问题。由于税率，关税，汇率什么的都会变动，所以这些在企业战略初期被认为是优势的因素，到后来都有可能会失去（这里有题）。
第二段：作者提出应该更多考虑qualitative的问题，比如说当地工人的技术啊~云云。。。quantitive的问题应该在qualitative的问题考虑完了再做考虑（这里有题）

说是以前只注重 QUANTITIVE 例如交通和原料等等但是这通常会被政府的政策所影响例如利率的高低变化会使得原有的优势消失第二段说要注重qualitative 例如当地人的素质和工作技能。

公司应该如何选择他的位置，给出了两种说法：1, quantitative大多数的manager都只看一些外部的影响因素，比如说交通便利、税率之类的，但长期发展下去对公司不好。2, qualitative是要看在公司周围能产生更高的竞争力之类的，然后公司在长远的看就可以持续地发展。问了一道细节题：以下哪种是第一段提到的选择方式
kathy1989717：工厂选址，是第一篇，原文原题，还多加了一道但我忘了= =
原文 by 乔小桥已确认GWD32-Q13-Q14
Manufacturing site location is an important consideration in determining the optimal deployment of a firm’s production resources, but one that is usually given only limited attention. Decisions about location are often based purely on quantitative analyses that trade off transportation costs, economies of scale, and other cost-based variables. This practice, however, can lead to suboptimal results, as decision-makers tend to focus only on easily quantifiable factors. A further disadvantage of strictly cost-based methods is that they tend to focus on cost advantage factors, which are often transitory Government regulations, tax systems, and exchange rates can quickly change. Strategies based on such parameters may eventually be rendered obsolete by the very factors that first created an advantage.
In contrast, qualitative issues, which are frequently neglected in choosing manufacturing site locations, are often central to creating and supporting a competitive advantage. For example, the level of skill possessed by the local workforce varies with location; consequently, location can affect the ability of firms to implement skill-based process technologies. When formulating a site location strategy, companies should therefore emphasize qualitative factors to ensure that the chosen strategy supports the company’s overall business strategy. Only after establishing a set of desirable location options should companies refine choices using cost-based factors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q13. The passage suggests which of the following concerning qualitative methods used in choosing manufacturing sites?
A. They are more likely than are quantitative methods to identify issues crucial to maintaining a competitive advantage
B. They are least useful to companies with relatively low levels of manufacturing technology
C. They have little value when applied to decisions other than choice of site
D. They are more risky for decision makers than are quantitative methods
E. They are used more frequently by multinational corporations than by companies with strictly domestic operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q14. According to the passage, analysis of quantitative factors is best used for which of the following?
A. Determining strategies for offsetting qualitative disadvantages in manufacturing site locations
B. Evaluating manufacturing site-location parameters affecting long-term competitive advantage
C. Choosing manufacturing site locations that have access to optimal workforce populations
D. Narrowing manufacturing site location options arrived it through qualitative analysis
E. Making decisions about business considerations other than location of manufacturing sites
KEY：AD（14题有争议，也有说选C的）

有关于manufacture的选址问题寂静里有（有道题说那个analysis的不足在哪儿，LZ选的是在其他地方就没法用了，可能选错了。。）
V3：by diehardgmaterM 51, V 35(9.10更新）
工厂选址除了原先JJ上的问题以外，还有一个问题是：依据文章所说，如果工厂选址的依据是exchange rates，会怎样？答案我选了have the risk of （意思为因exchange rates 的变化带来的负面影响）
V4：byfuyunhui 750 (9.12更新）
工厂选址最后一个选有risk得
V5：by Angel813 Q51 V42 760 (9.18更新）
工厂选址（定性和定量方法）
GWD原文（当时觉得这篇不难，居然没好好看JJ，今天选的时候很纠结，悲剧）
前两题JJ理由，争议的那道还是选了D Narrowing manufacturing site location options
