The lower the number will lead to paying higher interest rates on loans; not getting approved for a car loan, thereby, limiting your ability to purchase what you want as opposed to what you are approved for. If you are planning to purchase a new or used car, it may be virtually impossible to secure a financing loan with a low credit rating. Even if you can obtain a loan, your interest rate may be twice as higher than it would if you had excellent credit, so you end up paying more than you should because you are primarily paying the high interest rate. Rather than paying two or three percent interest, you could end up with a fifteen or sixteen percent interest rate. Having bad credit can cost you thousands of dollars over the course of paying back your car loan.

Outsourcing refers to sending jobs overseas because it is cheaper to produce the good there instead of in your home state. In countries which offer extremely low minimum wages, possibly as low as 10 cents an hour, companies which outsource can afford to sell their products at a much lower price than what American companies could produce the same good for. This causes many companies to outsource jobs, in order to drive down their prices and attract more customers. Outsourcing is a major problem for the United States, as it causes thousands of American jobs to be lost simply because the cost of American workers is thought to be too high. Even though Walmart offers low prices for their goods, they are harming the United States economy through the unintentional loss of thousands of American jobs.

We also supply the funds for R&D and the investment resource for other products.
Therefore, when trying to target developing countries, such as India and China, by simply adapting the product from the American mass is not practical and the product is likely to fail. As a strategy, I do believe reverse innovation is practical and can be useful in many industries. For so long, glocalization has been the main strategy of companies when it came to adapting product to emerging markets. This mainly occurred because the economies of emerging markets were fairly unstable and limited. Now that economies, such as India and China, are growing and becoming more stable, the idea of reverse innovation is more appropriate.
