Explanation:

• Boeing 786 has partners and suppliers in more than a dozen countries. More than 35% of these are made in Japan and more than 10 in Italy. 70 to 80% of Dreamliners are manufactured by other companies.
• This is typical of the global strategy, where partner countries participate in the development process, but the final development takes place in the parent company. The Boeing 787 is a very high-tech product, so there is almost no local accountability. So it's a global strategy.
