- How are these places of Nokia's
Branching effected?
- The UK based market research and development
Facilities are located in Cambridge and Farnborough
which are places and towns where people live. however
this part of Nokia causes more traffic through those
areas as people are travelling in and out of the area
to work. However with the facilities being around
these areas it means that more people can access
jobs and work from the research and development
company to create income for their families
- In Singapore and china where the
parts are made it opens up many
jobs for people living in the vicinity
of the factory meaning more
families will have an income coming
in meaning it would reduce the
levels of poverty. However it is
cheap labour so the employees
would not be paid much at all for all
of the work they do.
