Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Benefits in globalizing include superior management and coordination. This may not show up on balance sheets, but will affect profitability in the long run. Related benefits are the ability to switch suppliers quickly if there is a crisis and the ability to use excess capacity in one region to fulfill demand in another. Additionally, they can expect major improvements in production, operation, and supply and distribution. Value-adding activities can be concentrated in regions where they are most economical and efficient. Also, with global systems, fixed costs around the world can be amortized over a much larger customer base. In addition, corporate funds can be used over a much larger capital base.
