ANTHEM, AZ – A new report describes 18 emerging countries in terms of their current readiness for electronics manufacturing.
The 80-page report, by Charlie Barnhart & Associates, characterizes the nations’ infrastructure, population and high-tech “readiness.” It provides an analytical framework to help midmarket OEMs and EMS companies assess opportunities and challenges in establishing or expanding their global footprint, says the author.
“Next Horizons in Electronics Manufacturing for Midmarket Companies,” which was authored by Jennifer Read, provides country profiles and recommendations for a successful global strategy.
The report is available to the consulting firm’s Outsourcing Navigator Council members, and includes country profiles on geographies, as well as EMS profiles, data charts related to infrastructure, population, electronics readiness, corruption, and ease of doing business.
