Moreover, the goods from the outsourcings may not be as efficient as the goods that are made within the country. The consumers would choose the goods through the brand names or the prices; however, sometimes the consumers would choose goods by where they are made. Therefore, it is very significant to know where the goods are manufactured because it will increase the satisfaction of consumers since they are very demanding on the quality of goods. In addition, as the consumption of the goods decrease, the companies will earn less revenue that decreases the investment that they will spend for outsourcings.
