is one of the reasons that there ahs been a shift in many supply chains towards areas such as China and away from the Asian tigers, the comparative advantages in
some areas has lessened. The question is whether or not there is still room by chains seeking new geographical markets. It is not only the potential movement of different
economies towards economic convergence that may be a potential lessening of both source markets and destination markets as a result of that convergence. There are also other factors are work,
