One of CanGo’s major strengths is that roughly 80 percent of their sales come from Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory (“Financial Information,” n.d.). Having such a high percentage of their sales coming from JIT inventory allows CanGo to keep their overhead expenses low while still ensuring their products are still available. One of the ways that this lowers their overhead is by reducing the warehouse space needed. Since most of the inventory arrives just in time to be shipped, there is no need to have a place to store it. Keeping their JIT inventory at roughly 80 percent also helps CanGo to serve their customers faster and more efficiently by giving them more control over the manufacturing process. This control makes it easier to quickly respond to any changes in the customer’s needs (Conrad, n.d.).

These brands include Johnny Rockets, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Seattle’s Best Coffee and Cova Cafe Milano. There is an immense potential for the company to grow its revenues from onboard services through such marketing alliances.

Infosys is an IT consulting company based in India but primarily doing business with North American firms looking to outsource their IT needs. With the rise of the popularity in this form of business between the United States and India, there have been several political factors in both countries that will affect the way Infosys does business.

On the flip side though, the US government is also looking to change immigration policies to restrict H-1B visas that would have previously allowed foreign skilled technical workers to be brought in to the US on work visas. While they won’t be eliminating them, they are seeking to restrict them which would force Infosys to hire employees from the US for any work they would be doing in the country and restricting the available talent pool. Meanwhile, the government in India is making changes of their own, particularly with reforming the tax code. To encourage the growth of the Software and Technology fields the Indian government had established significant tax breaks which are now coming to an end. In addition, they have
