    Cameron International Market Vrio Analysis

    This brings in the possibility of future CIC involvement in Myanmar which definitely an option and as such they should look into building a relationship with the people of the area. This needs to be done in a way that does not interfere with the local primarily Buddhist beliefs and helps local people by private aid given to build schools and subsidizing local villagers with agricultural and housing needs which were lost when government sanctions were imposed. This would go a long way toward building a relationship with local people and government which would make entering the country to do business much easier in the future should the business environment improve. This would also allow CIC a way to keep abreast of how the region is doing and if or when it would be a good time to enter the area to expand their…

    Who Is Wendy's Supervisor

    Wendy, the supervisor, has been in her position for the last 5 or 6 month. She heard the previous supervisor was “pretty strict”; the cause of Darla’s behavior might be the former supervisor. It seems like Darla is afraid of making mistakes, maybe the previous supervisor was harsh on her when she made a mistake. Or, perhaps the previous supervisor was a micromanager that wanted to be informed of every step of her work because Wendy states that Darla “won’t go ahead” and do stuff “unless I say so.” Another reason for Darla’s behavior might be, she does not have enough confidence in herself because Wendy said, “her work is all right” and “it seems like she does know” how to do the stuff. However, she relies on Wendy to tell her when to do it and “what to do next.”…
