Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is known as the global assembly line, which refers to the process of dividing the manufacturing process of a product into different stages that are completed in different countries. This allows companies like Gap to take advantage of lower labor costs in different parts of the world, while also benefitting from trade agreements and other neoliberal economic policies.
