00:00:00.083 --> 00:00:03.878
New BCG research is analyzing
just how much geopolitical uncertainties

2
00:00:03.878 --> 00:00:07.841
are affecting where companies manufacture
and source goods.

3
00:00:07.882 --> 00:00:11.761
With the backdrop of geopolitics
causing more changes in the years ahead,

4
00:00:11.845 --> 00:00:14.973
How can businesses build a sustainable,
competitive advantage

5
00:00:14.973 --> 00:00:17.100
in their manufacturing
and sourcing footprint?

6
00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:25.233
As geopolitical pressures
drive changes and trade,

7
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:28.987
manufacturers are willing
to morph their footprint for stability,

8
00:00:28.987 --> 00:00:33.616
ease of business, stronger logistics
and more resilient supply chains.

9
00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.161
However,
our survey found that many companies

10
00:00:36.161 --> 00:00:39.998
who changed
their footprint were disappointed. Why?

11
00:00:40.081 --> 00:00:43.084
Our findings suggest that often enough,
the decision making did

12
00:00:43.084 --> 00:00:47.255
not fully factor in the entirety
of the geopolitical aspects.

13
00:00:47.297 --> 00:00:48.256
The good news is,

14
00:00:48.256 --> 00:00:51.801
with a successful manufacturing
and sourcing footprint transformation

15
00:00:51.885 --> 00:00:56.139
firms can improve resilience and drive
sustainable competitive advantage.

16
00:00:56.222 --> 00:00:58.975
Future ready
manufacturers are staying ahead of

17
00:00:58.975 --> 00:01:02.437
evolving global forces
and capitalizing on new opportunities.
