A 7 page paper
discussing whether Acer Computer should expand manufacturing operations to include a site in
Canada. The company already maintains shipping and repairing facilities, and the proposal is that
Acer Canada institute a build-to-order scheme patterned after that of Dell Computer. The year is
1996 and long-term projections already call for the PC industry to suffer certain decline.
Superficially, it is not the time to begin manufacturing PCs and expect to be profitable, but the
SWOT analysis of the situation indicates that adding manufacturing to current existing operations
is a sound and relatively inexpensive move. The paper recommends that Acer add manufacturing
to existing Canadian operations. Bibliography lists 1 source.
