Tricore's chief executive officer says that if opening its own business operations in Zimbabwe is too difficult because of bureaucracies, it might do better by contracting a local business to do its manufacturing
Which of the following, if true, weakens the case for doing so?
A) Bureaucracies often favor local businesses over international ones.
B) Bureaucracies are often the largest employers in the regions in which they operate.
C) Bureaucracies tend to present both incentives and opportunities for corruption.
D) Bureaucracies tend to pay their workers more highly than other businesses do.
E) Bureaucracies largely employ unskilled workers who perform routine work.
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Corruption in local businesses means that local business partners may be untrustworthy. Choice A suggests that the bureaucracies in Zimbabwe would make things easier for Tricore if it contracted with a local business than if Tricore opened its own plant in Zimbabwe. Choices B, D, and E are not relevant to the question of whether the presence of bureaucracies would make things easier if Tricore did its manufacturing through a local contractor.
