Global competition that has reduced jobs and earnings in many U.S. jurisdictions has impacted a far wider range of industries than automotive. State and local economic development officials, legislators, and administrators must continue to look at the use of economic development tools that address the retention needs of the highly valuable automotive industry along with corporations within all competitive industries well in advance of events that necessitate corporate decisions resulting in unfavorable jobs consequences. But how much is too much because there comes a point in an auction where you don't want to be the one with your hand in the air. I want to see your research on this topic, laying out the positives and negatives, the benefits and the costs, and the point where offering incentives no longer makes sense. This actual paper will be due on 6 November and should be  double-spaced not less than 12 pages and not more than 15 pages (not to include references and bibliography).

The final section of your research should be a set of recommendations that address all of the issues you initially identified, evaluated, and researched. Specifically, you must describe how your recommendations will address the distribution management issues identified. Furthermore, the recommendations must be reasonable in terms of being acceptable to the organization's culture, competencies for executing the recommendations, and industry standards. Each of your recommendations should offer a definite action agenda including an implementation schedule and designate a specific individual/position or operating division that is accountable for the plan.
