Upon reviewing the four articles, it seems that all four companies have different reasons to stay within the U.S., though a few have some similarities. Bobcat and Schantz, for instance, both have local farm-raised workers and deep community roots that certainly help to keep them right where they are. Schantz’s organs and the orthapedic screw companies in Warsaw both require the hub of specialized labor, which they both have plenty of. The Warsaw companies, however, could probably move and still retain their quality, but they simply have no reason to, with profit margins hitting at least 70%. Viking has a Dell-style made-to-order business model, but while Dell is shipping its parts all over Asia, Viking makes it all right at home. This can probably be easily explained, as ovens aren’t nearly as complex or easy to ship as laptops. Imagine trying to get oven parts from country to country. Each company has their reasons, but I really can’t see anything across the board except that it’s simply more profitable to stay in the U.S., be it for specialization, shipping costs, or customer satisfaction and loyalty.
