Question

Managers are well-advised to consider whether the company can operate more profitable by selling some/all of its plant capacity in one or more geographic regions when

Answer 1

The answer is when global demand for exclusive and private-label footwear is so far under global plant volume that it will be intolerable for most all companies to cost-effectively operate their plants at full volume for many years to come. If the prediction shows that global demand is far under global volume, then it isn't conceivable for everyone to sell everything. In this circumstance the most liquid and solvent company will appear ahead, maybe a company could hold onto volume and ferociously hold onto market share.
