Ryan Motors' CEO favors entering into partnerships with Chilean engineering companies. Which of the following, if true, strengthens her case for Ryan to enter into such partnerships?
A) Chile's economy is largely based on the manufacturing of low-cost consumer goods.
B) Chile's main exports are agricultural products.
C) Chile imports almost all of its cars from the United States, Canada, and Japan.
D) Chile has a low unemployment rate.
E) Chile has a large proportion of highly educated workers.
Answer: E
Explanation: E) This indicates a high likelihood that Chile has human resources that Ryan Motors would be able to use for outsourcing some of its engineering. Choices A and B indicate that most Chilean workers are probably relatively unskilled. If Chileans almost exclusively drive imported cars (Choice C), this suggests that there are not many engineers in Chile who've likely developed experience designing cars. Choice D: If Chile's unemployment rate is low, Ryan may face a limited supply of available skilled engineers.
