A. Discuss the factors that influence an international organization's choice of location.

B. A school district is considering four locations for a new high school. There are four factors the district is considering (cost of land, distance to students, land size, and traffic flow). The higher the factor score, the better. The district would like to compare results using two weighting systems. The first system would give each factor equal weight and the second would give the factors weights of .4, .2, .1, and .3 respectively. Use the factor rating method to determine which location is best for each weighting system. (Note that the weights for system 1 can be anything, as long as they're equal.) Which location would you advise? What other factors might the school district consider?
