Jaguar Land Rover Essay
Recommend on Google+
Yesterday with my A2 class I made use of the following article and accompanying clips from the BBC website highlighting Jaguar Land Rover’s decision to build a new production plant in Wolverhampton.
I used the article as a basis for discussing the important determinants of a firm’s location choice, in this particular case stressing the importance of a government’s role.
I then brainstormed the following essay with them which they will write in timed conditions later in the week:
To what extent are governments and their respective policies the most important determinate of a firm’s location choice? Discuss with reference to today’s announcement that Jaguar Land Rover will create 750 new jobs with the opening of its plant in Wolverhampton. [25]
