The importance of these drivers varies by company and with time. Considering the sequence of global shifts, proximity to production factors such as labour and low material costs can be considered more basic than market- or even knowledge-related drivers.

The multi-domestic and global strategies represent two extremes, while the integrated network strategy represents a balance between them. The consequences of this ‘balancing act’ for logistics are analysed below.
