    I have used a descriptive decision tree to analyze your situation. Using a decision tree to evaluate and depict your issue allowed me to weigh the different possible outcomes with their associated consequences and probabilities. There are three separate attachments I will be referring to throughout the discussion of my results. I used the probabilities given in your memorandum with the various costs associated with each option and calculated the expected monetary value (EMV) for each alternative. The expected monetary value is the estimated probabilistic value for each option. An EMV allows you to gage the expected costs and/or profits you will be facing regarding each option. Given that we are trying to reduce your costs as much as possible, the lowest EMV is the most desirable option.…

    05-Beckford_Ch05 8/31/07 2:45 PM Page 98 5 Globalization and Glocalization PETER BEYER Globalization is a relatively recent term. It appeared in English-language usage only in the 1960s, albeit without the heavy connotations that it began to carry in the 1990s. Other similar expressions, however, already popularized the core meaning of all people on earth living in a single social space, notably Marshall McLuhan’s notion of a ‘global village’ (McLuhan 1964). Entering social scientific discourse in the early 1980s, globalization itself subsequently became such a widespread term that it has become something close to a general name for the current era in which we all live, for better or worse.…
