Which of the following does not represent valid reasons for globalizing operations?
a. reduce costs
b. improve supply chain
c. reduce responsiveness
d. attract and retain global talent
e. all of the above are valid reasons for globalizing operations.

The correct answer is "c. reduce responsiveness".

Explanation: The process of globalization of the companies means the abandonment of the purely domestic sphere of action, to access an inrtegrating approach, of global scope. A global strategy is a complex business strategy, whose objective is to optimize the final result of the value chain, both of the primary activities, directly linked to the product or service, and of the secondary or support activities, therefore in no way "c. reduce responsiveness" is a characteristic of globalization of operations.
