讲座内容：

      Motivated by observations in the greater China region, this paper studies a multinational firm (MNF)’s preferences between two procurement strategies in a global business environment. The MNF relies on a contract manufacturer (CM) to produce its products, which serve both markets within (domestic market) and outside (overseas market) China. The MNF will decide whether to control its component procurement (consignment strategy) or delegate that function to the CM (turnkey strategy).Our study indicates that a multi-market structure and a set of tax rules have the potential of impacting the MNF’s choice of consignment vs turnkey. We find that the MNF’s preference could switch twice from turnkey to consignment and back to turn key, and its global profits could first decrease and then increase, as the domestic market grows.
