    The introduction of IPOs was intended to exploit the cost advantages of low-wage countries<\/strong> for the contracting of labour-intensive prefabrication in order to reduce the overall costs<\/strong> of the company’s own product. In doing so, the IPOs were to serve as an extended arm of local project purchasing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
