In the commentary: "Bollywood: Postmodernism's Legacy to the
INternational Dance World" by Drid Williams the author makes
a lot of valid points on Bollywood's impact on the Western
world. The article ends stating "...Bollywood and its namesakes
may distinguish themselves over time merely as the archetypes
of plagiarized, computer-generated, imitative mishmash..."
However, this is not a fair representation of Bollywood in my
opinion. Bollywood is largely a product of society, like many
things in life, and I believe that the tropes used throughout
Hindi films will continued to be built upon and grow with Hindi
culture. I think that both Bollywood and Hollywood will be
looked back upon much like we look back on the classics. As

(vegetables with spicy peanut sauce) He noticed different

actor and mime artist, this character in particular use to be a

Indian has thrived and grown in this new globalized world. It is
now one of the top three economies and its presence is known in
media. Most global citizens have an impression of either
Indian's economic power or also its cultural impact. Matusitz
and Payano have said diasporic audience of 10 million.
However this audience has not reflected in large monetary sums.
They also mention a term of "glocalisation." Glocalisation
represents innovative cultural hybrids and variations of norms
and practices to cater to local preferences and tastes. Therefore
Bollywood itself has been that hybrid of indian culture with
american film. This term is representative of marketing the
industry to position itself for members outside of physically
being in India.
Despite its 10 million viewers, why do you think its such a low
profit margin industry. Well we should take into concern,
copyright and pirating within the global market. America has
done a rather good job at protecting its media with the FBI and
other agencies. However when it comes to foreign media this is
not as regulated because it is not a U.S. good. Therefore the
stake for the U.S. economy is not in play therefore there is very
little motive to regulate it. If greater regulations were put in
place, do you think India would earn a lot more or bollywood's
popularity would increase or decrease?

3. 4. Bollywood has been a medium in which women can be
portrayed in sexual natures not formerly allowed via nationalist
values. Nijhawan describes the traditional scripts as portraying
the female role as "Indian myths and discourse do not write of
dancing women as especially ¡®bad¡¯ or ¡®wrong,¡¯ but rather
undomesticated, either because of their ¡®nature¡¯ or through
force of circumstance." Dancing skill is attributed to a sexual
nature rather than love. Many mythical stories have been
warped to change the previous prominence of a female character
and insert a more sexualized connotation. Such as in the role of
the devadasi. The control of the female sexual narrative speaks
volumes as to how gender roles are, and we should question
them as people who intake the product of such narratives.
As a feminist with a particularly strong moral code, I find this
control over the female narrative due to institutionalized
patriarchy to be disgusting. I understand tradition, however,
young women should have people to look up to who embody
tradition but are not degraded to such low sexual innuendos. I
see this problem not only in India but also Korean dramas as
well. I don't find the plots interesting and I won't put my money
towards it.
(1) Over the past decade, the landscape of the international
business environment has undergone substantial change.
International strategic alliances (ISAs) and other inter-firm
collaborative strategies have permeated global trade. With
increasing frequency, international strategic alliances are being
forged between firms. Instead of competing in an adversarial
manner, firms are now focusing on “collaborating with their
competitors.”
(a) Describe why are ISAs being formed and why is this major
paradigm shift occurring from competing against to cooperating
with competitors?
