Re-shoring Impacts on Operations and Supply Chains The increased globalization evident in the contemporary world has been characterized not just by the advancement of technology to unprecedented levels, but also by different business strategies that have been reflective of the dynamic modern-day business environment (Hamilton & Webster, 2018). Offshoring was among the business strategies, which is a concept that has lurked in the business setting for over half a century. Many industry sectors regarded offshoring as among the business strategies that reflected the dynamism of the global business environment, which aimed at expanding business operations by reducing the production costs and easing the access to international markets. However, evidence indicates that in recent years, offshoring strategy has been unable to guarantee the same benefits for businesses operation activities.

How race created opportunities and challenges to individuals living in the Atlantic Worlds Native Americans were involved in exchanges in the form of beaver trading with Englishmen. The physical structure of beaver fur made it desirable. The depletion of European beavers in the 17th Century due to overhunting motivated the Englishmen’s exploration intentions of America (Thomas 3). In exchange, Indian intermediaries benefited from a variety of supplies to facilitate the trade. Englishmen thus got an exclusive opportunity to source for raw materials in the form of beaver hides to satisfy the market demands in Europe. The natives, on the other hand, got access to a wide range of industrial products not in their reach before, such as biscuit cake (Thomas 3). Both parties in this from distinct races were beneficiaries of the trade in this case. As Alibamo Mingo documents, British settlers provided an opportunity for native Americans (Indians) to participate in business by allowing them to sell bread to the British. The natives would, in turn, enable their women meet the settlers’ demands by supplying the food they ordered (Hakluyt 274). This…
