These policies are mainly aimed at reducing unemployment in the United States, protecting domestic manufacturing, and protecting corporate intellectual property rights.
Because of the above factors, some global enterprises have moved their production lines back to the United States or set up production plants in the United States to avoid the import tariff policy. However, some global multinationals have not followed the above reasons, moving production plants to the United States or target market, and continue to produce in countries where human resources are cheaper.
This study explores factors that shorten the supply chain. After Trump became the US president, implementing economic and trade policies, global companies will face the wave of anti-globalization and how to create the highest production efficiency in the modernization of the supply chain. On the other hand, in this wave of shorten the supply chain, some companies have not followed this wave, instead, they maintain the production line or set up production in countries far from the target consumer market. This study will explore the main reasons and corporate conditions for global multinationals to choose to shorten the supply chain or extend the supply chain.
This study shows that the enterprise conditions that shorten the supply chain are large enterprises, with high product value and high degree of automation. On the other hand, most companies that maintain or extend the supply chain are small and medium enterprise, with low product value and low degree of automation, relying on a large amount of manpower.
