In addition to which, the threats of thefts and vandalism of expensive equipment at these sites were also challenges facing Celtel, the second largest mobile telecommunication company in Nigeria in 2007. The company was unable to raise awareness about their shift using conventional marketing strategies such as billboards as they were stolen, recycled or reused.…

    Q: List elements of the national business environment that influence the standardization-versus-adaptation decision. Standardized is just one of a number of strategies with which firms successfully enter the international marketplace today. Standardization may not always be the most appropriate strategy, even. Smaller companies may also be better off adapting to local cultures and exploiting their international image to gain market share locally. Consumers in different national markets often demand products that reflect their unique tastes and preferences. Cultural, political, legal, and economic environments have a great deal to do with the preferences of both consumers and industrial buyers worldwide. A culture’s aesthetics involves, among other things preferences for certain colors.…

    The world's poorest countries are at a competitive disadvantage in every sector of their economies. They have little to export. They have no capital; their land is of poor quality; they often have too many people given available work opportunities; and they are poorly educated. Free trade cannot possibly be in the interests of such nations! Discuss.…

    Answer3: (a) When Volkswagen decided to hedge just 30 percent of its foreign exchange exposure in 2003, the company essentially gambled that the euro would decline in value relative to the dollar. The company hoped that by saving the cost of the commission involved in selling a currency forward, it would increase its profit margin. This strategy of course, backfired.…

    Chapter 2 International Business

    In a free market economy, individuals/corporations are allowed to own property and other assets. Ownership provides incentive for people to work hard, be innovative and creative; all while hoping to attain additional wealth. Sequentially, the desire from individuals/corporations to accumulate wealth enhances the whole economy and generates economic growth. In contrast, in a state-directed economy, individuals/corporations are not allowed to own substantial quantities of property and other assets. The objective of a state-directed economy is for everyone to work for “the good of the society.” Although this seems like an honorable ideal, a system that asks individuals to work for “the good of the society” rather than allowing individuals to gain wealth does not provide a great incentive for people to work hard, be innovative and creative. This leads to state-directed economies typically generating less innovation and less efficiency than free market economies.…

Both Rene Descartes and John Locke attempt to clarify what the self is and how the psyche and body are connected. Rene Descartes is normally viewed as the "father of present day logic" and was brought up in the French privileged and instructed at the Jesuit College of La Fléche. John Locke spent his initial life in the English farmland.…
