I bet the HR Manager wishes they could just outsource this whole environmental scan to a group of monkeys. At least they'd have a 25% chance of getting the right answer!

Is option E 'All of the above' not available? Because that's my go-to answer for these types of questions. I'm just trying to cover all my bases, you know?

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Maybe I should ask the HR Manager if they're also evaluating the exchange rate and the price of raw materials in Shenzhen. Those would be economic factors too.

B seems like the best option to me. The costs and availability of labor are definitely economic factors that the company needs to consider when moving production overseas.

I think the answer is D. The HR Manager is looking at factors related to the local labor market, such as supply and demand for skilled labor, costs of recruiting, and turnover trends. These are all labor market factors.
