This discussion is to apply what you have learned about location decision factors into the practical settings.

1. Choose a company where you are interested in
2. Assuming you are a C-level executive, who is making a location decision for the next facility (new branch, office, market,...)
3. You found one ideal location (e.g. LA city, Cal State LA campus, your hometown, or any place you are familiar with)

Requirements:

1. List 3 reasons why the Company should open a new facility in your location
2. The reasons should be from the company's perspective (You are the officer of the Company)
3. At least two reasons come from the location decision factors we learned in class (proximity to customers, business climate, total costs, infrastructure, quality of labor, suppliers, free trade zones, trading blocs, host community, competitive advantage)
4. Don't ONLY list the decision factors/reasons without explanation: for each reason/factor you listed, provide a brief explanation to help your audience to understand your point (one or two complete sentences)
