The resort real estate industry has adapted to and taken advantage of globalization on a major scale. The industrial industry has adapted by opening offices around the world and trying to teach other countries how to “do real estate”. While we have to adapt to the laws of other places, we don’t always adapt well to the customs.
One problem is that the global supply chain demands standardization of procedures in warehouses and factories. Freight moves in standardized containers. Products come together from wherever the best source is for each module. The handling, shipping and stocking procedures have to conform to the standard systems. The buildings have to conform to the activity involved. Does this mean we can use a standard building?
In some cases it does. In other instances the building is the variable that makes the whole thing fit together. Plumbers would call it an adapter. The customs and processes come together in the building. In most cases, the loading doors need to fit the trucks and trains that deliver and remove the goods. The break rooms and offices need to fit the customs of the people who work there. Everything in the middle needs to bring the systems together.
