Risk Management Applications While there are many factors that lead to an organization's success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or nonfinancial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks. Tasks: Use the publicly-traded company you chose in M1 Assignment 3 and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion on page 192 of your textbook as a template, do the following: Develop a brief country risk assessment. Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why? After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, the Chinese have recently allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain. Your paper should be about 2,000 words. Submission Details: By Saturday, July 12, 2014 attached is the information from page 192 and assignment m1a3 .

Running head: RISK MANAGEMENT CITI GROUP BANK THE RISK MANAGEMENT – CITI GROUP BANK 2 Risk Management – Citi Group Bank Author Note . The Risk Management – Citi Group Bank Introduction The banking sector in the United States has numerous banks that are listed on the New York stock exchange. This research plan will base around the Citi group holdings. Citigroup holdings have active shares traded and the New York stock exchange. Citi is an American banking unit that has its headquarters in New York Manhattan. It exists as a result of a historic merger between the Citicorp and the financial conglomerate Travelers group back in the year 1998. Statistics taken by the end of 2015 showed that it was among the top five largest holding banks in the United States ranking at position three. Being a multinational company it has approximately 16000 offices worldwide spanning 140 countries. Its shareholders from various regions in the world. The majority shareholders in the Citi group holdings originate from the Middle East and Singapore (Bejjani, 2009, p.155). Before the recent global financial crisis, Citi was the world’s largest bank and company regarding total assets accrued. Citibank deals in all financial services as well as offering financial assistance regarding advice to its members. This research plan will include various areas of study including general knowledge about Citi group holdings, risk management measures, the success of the company, challenges and what they need to do as a company to return to the top(Bejjani, 2009, p.163). Risks Management There are some risks that banking industries go through, and Citi is no difference to other banking firms who trade on the New York stock exchange. This entails a file that managers in institutions formulates to project any risks that are like to occur in the process of striving to achieve the set target for a given firm. During working periods banks are invariably faced with different types of risk depending on the area of occurrence within the firm. It includes proper risk identification, measurement, and assessment to observe the outcome of the said risk. It is, therefore, advisable for banking institutions to formulate a certain section that would help in risk identification and analysis of the risk. Some of these risks include financial risks, strategic risks, operational, liquidity, and credit and compliance risks among others (Stone and Brewster, 2004, p.115). Risk Types Risks are unplanned for negative occurrences in business firms. There are numerous risk types that management ought to address before they damage the firms image in the public eye. They include the following among others. Financial Risks These are risks that come about majorly due to the changing economic conditions in the countries or regions of operations. In the year 2008 when there was a global economic meltdown, Citi suffered the most. It was only rescued by the United St ...

Forum #1 When an organization decides to engage in international financing activities, they also take on additional risk as well as opportunities. The main risks that are associated with businesses engaging in international finance include foreign exchange risk and political risk. These risks may sometimes make it difficult to maintain constant and reliable revenue. When an organization decides to engage in international financing activities, they also take on additional risk as well as opportunities. The main risks that are associated with businesses engaging in international finance include foreign exchange risk and political risk. These risks may sometimes make it difficult to maintain constant and reliable revenue. Foreign exchange risk occurs when the value of investment fluctuates due to changes in a currency's exchange rate. When a domestic currency appreciates against a foreign currency, profit or returns earned in the foreign country will decrease after being exchanged back to the domestic currency. Political risk transpires when a country's government unexpectedly changes its policies, which now negatively affect the foreign company. These policy changes can include such things as trade barriers, which serve to limit or prevent international trade. “Since 2010, one in ten of the countries surveyed have experienced a significant increase in the level of short-term political risk. These risks include governments asserting control over natural resources, regimes being ousted by popular uprisings and the expropriation of foreign investors' assets” (Brown, Sophle. 2013). References Brown, Sophle. Political instability on the rise. Dec 11, 2013. Retrieved from web: http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/11/business/maplecroft-political-risk/ Forum #2 Multinational companies seem to be the standard for future business. They are typically more productive and pay their workers more than comparable locally owned businesses (Eun & Renick, 2015). With the many advantages that are available to multinationals it is no surprise that companies are shifting in this direction. However, all of the advantages do not come risk free as you may have expected. Two of the significant risks associated with multinationals and international financial management are foreign exchange risk and political risks. Foreign exchange risk is what would likely be the first thing you would consider when thinking about international finance. Exchange rates fluctuate on a regular basis and can be somewhat unpredictable at times. This has been the case since the early 1970s when fixed exchange rates were abandoned (Eun & Renick, 2015). Exchange risk is the difference between the exchange rate at the moment a business deal is closed for a given amount and the exchange rate at the moment when .

Chapter-3 External Assessment in Strategic Management

Cabdulaahi Sulayman

C H A P T E R S • T H E E X T E R N A L A S S E S S M E N T 61 111® Watyr© o f arc EHterRai Audit The purpose of an external audit is to develop a finite list of opportunities that could benefit a firm and threats that should be avoided. As the term finite suggests, the external audit is not aimed at developing an exhaustive list of every possible factor that could influence the business; rather, it is aimed at identifying key variables that offer actionable responses. Firms should be able to respond either offensively or defensively to the factors by formulating strategies that take advantage of external opportunities or that minimize the impact of potential threats. Figure 3-1 illustrates how the external audit fits into the strategic-management process. Key EKiisrfttiai Forces External forces can be divided into five broad categories: (1) economic forces; (2) social, cultural, demographic, and natural environment forces; (3) political, governmental, and legal forces; (4) technological forces; and (5) compefitive forces.

The article also discusses design management strategies and innovations. It was found that Beijing's lack of regulatory transparency, regional differences and a relationship-based business culture were some of the factors that made China a challenging project environment. Cultural understanding and relationship (guanxi) building were fundamental strategies in responding to these challenges. It was also found that developing a shared ownership of intellectual property and innovative design ideas may facilitate the collaboration between Western and Chinese partners. In addition, it was necessary for the foreign design and project management teams to be continuously involved in the construction stage to ensure the conversion of design into reality, construction quality and personal fulfilment.

Rock Crystal Story by A. Stifter Albert Bierstadt, Strom Among the Alps. Long, long ago — perhaps maybe some time in the seventeenth century somewhere in the Alps, two valleys with a village each - Gschaid and Millsdorf - lay next to each other, ringed by high mountains and linked by a sole, lonely path. Due to this separation, the inhabitants considered each other as strangers. Yet it came to pass that the shoemaker from Gschaid married the Millsdorf dyer's daughter, and the couple had two children, Conrad and Sanna. One unusually warm Christmas Eve, the two children set out on the path from the northward valley, through pine forest and over the pass, to visit their grandmother in the valley to the south. Their mother had sent Conrad and Sanna to their grandparents in Millsdorf to give them Christmas greetings and presents. Conrad and little Sanna set out early, arrived in time for lunch, and were kissed and showered with gifts by their adoring grandmother. Yet she insisted that they start for home early. The temperature was dropping, and ice was forming on the puddles in the road. As Conrad and Sanna climbed the path back toward home, a significant snowfall began. It was a snowfall the villagers later called once in a century: "unprecedented, unwearying, and voracious." The children climbed and climbed, but their path never descended as it should; they never find their familiar landmark. On the way home, they “fell into” heavy snowfall which became so dense that they could see only the very nearest trees. They looked for their usual signpost. "Shall we see the post today?" asked the girl. "The snow will fall on it and the red color will be white." "We shall be able to see it," replied the boy; "even if the snow falls upon it and makes it white all over we are bound to see it, because it is a thick post, and because it has the black iron cross on its top will surely stick out." "Yes, Conrad." Yet they did not see the signpost, and instead of going down into the valley, the children wound up wandering up into the bare rock and ice region. The big brother who made a little roof out of the shawl that his sister was wearing to keep the snow off her face; meanwhile, the sister, maintained her brother's courage simply by how much she trusted him. Meanwhile, it had been growing dark. At last they climbed into a stone cave to spend the night there. To shield themselves against the cold, they drink from the coffee their grandmother had packed for their parents. The exceedingly strong extract took effect at once and all the more powerfully as the children had never in their lives tasted coffee. Despite the dangers, Conrad, the elder of the siblings, was overwhelmed by the great canvas of nature before them. They saw a northern light wafting in the night sky, and the stars gleamed and shone and twinkled. Only an occasional shooting star traversed them.. At dawn, Konrad and Sanna set off to fi.

Rogers Communications Historical Background One of the Largest and Most Diverse Canadian Companies Ted Rogers, who died in 2008 was the visionary behind Rogers Communications Inc.. He was considered a communications industry pioneer and a titan in Canadian business. Mr. Rogers, known for his relentless drive, built Rogers Communications into a Canadian leader in wireless telecommunications, cable television, broadcasting, and publishing. Rogers Communications Inc. owns Canada's largest wireless telecommunications company, the country's largest cable company, the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Centre (formerly the SkyDome), 52 radio stations, several television properties including five CityTV outlets, five OMNI multicultural stations, Rogers Sportsnet, the Shopping Channel and more than 70 consumer and trade magazines. In naming him Man of the Year in 2000, Toronto Life magazine dubbed Ted Rogers "Mr. Toronto". In only a matter of months, Ted Rogers had stepped up to the plate and saved the city's beleaguered major league baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays, and, along with wife Loretta, donated $25 million to the University of Toronto (the school's largest-ever personal donation) and $10 million to Ryerson University. In May 2007, he gave another $15 million to Ryerson. "Education can remake a country, a city, can make it ... a different place in only one generation" Mr. Rogers told Toronto Life. In the Beginning: Mr. Rogers, Sr. Any history of the Rogers group of companies today must begin with a salute to Edward S. Rogers, Sr. Every time a radio is turned on in Canada, the dream of Edward S Rogers, Sr. continues to be realized. He envisioned radio as an electric pipeline, reaching into people’s homes to entertain, inform and educate. In 1925, Mr. Rogers, Sr. invented the world’s first alternating current (AC) radio tube, which enabled radios to be powered by ordinary household current. This was a dramatic breakthrough in technology and it became the key factor in popularizing radio reception. After this invention radios became far more commonplace. In 1931, Mr. Rogers, Sr. was awarded an experimental TV licence. He was working on radar when on May 6, 1939 he died at the young age of 38. He left a widow, Velma, and a 5 year old son, Edward. His business interests were sold. However, his son Edward (Ted Rogers) was determined to carry on the important legacy. From Father to Son: Ted Rogers Ted Rogers earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in 1956. He was awarded an LL.B. in 1961 from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the bar of Ontario on April 13, 1962. In business, Mr. Rogers has always emphasized customer service and pioneering engineering and has been involved at the start-up stage with a number of ventures in broadcasting, cable television and communications. Mr. Rogers specializes in identifying technologies that he can develop and popularize through technological innovation and marketing techni.

Robert A multicultural city means a city whose members have a diverse cultural values and beliefs. When working in such a city, a nurse should be culturally competence in order to serve all the occupants of the city effectively. Miami for example is a multicultural city because its population involves people from different ethnic backgrounds like Latin American and Caribbean. The main benefit for practicing in such a city is that; Multicultural city helps a nurse to learn more about different cultures and their beliefs and values concerning nursing and healthcare. This helps to expand the mind of the practitioner. For a nurse to give quality services to patients, he or she must be aware of the patient’s culture and background information. Though it may take a while before the nurse learns about the different cultures, it helps him or her become more experienced. Challenges of practicing in a multicultural city There are so many challenges of practicing in a multicultural city. Communication barrier is one of the challenges. When the practitioner and the patient cannot communicate efficiently, therefore the nurse will not be able to deliver effectively (Murcia & Lopez, 2016). Secondly, a nurse may experience culture shock in a multicultural city. This happens when nurses are confronted with very new cultural beliefs and values and then they try to compare with their own beliefs and everything looks so new. Thirdly, another challenge could be rejection by the city residents. When there is a new nurse with different cultural beliefs and values, chances are the residents might reject the nurse’s services and prefer to be served by only home nurses. This is because people feel comfortable receiving care from people who understand their cultural beliefs and values. References Murcia, S. E. A., & Lopez, L. (2016).

Robin went to work for Titans, Inc., a major banking house, as a security specialist. He had charge of designing and implementing all security protocols and equipment at Titan Towers for Titan’s physical security and security of their business transactions. Before starting work, Robin signed a written employment agreement. The agreement included a non-compete clause that stated as follows: “18. NON-COMPETE - Employee agrees that for a period of two years following Employee’s term as an employee of Company, Employee shall not be employed as a security specialist for any other company in the financial service industry, anywhere in the world. Provided Employee shall comply with all terms of this provision, at the end of said two year term, Company shall pay to Employee a bonus payment of Ten Thousand (10,000) Dollars within 30 days of the end of the aforesaid two year period. Robin worked for Titans, Inc. for a year and then left to return to his prior life as a circus acrobat. He toured the world with Hailey’s Circus for two years, doing no work at all in the financial services industry. At the end of two years from the date he left Titans, Inc., Robin returned to the US and opened his own security firm, aimed at the financial services industry. Robin also wrote to Titans, Inc. and informed them that he had lived up to his obligations under the non-compete clause in his agreement, and requested they send him the $10,000 bonus. Titans writes back thanking Robin for abiding by his agreement. Robin waits patiently, but after six months, his savings are running low and his new business could use an influx of cash. Robin sells his right to collect the $10,000 to Speedy, a friend from his Titans, Inc. days who has also left the company. Two weeks later, Speedy sends a letter to Titans, Inc., telling them that he has acquired the rights to the debt owed to Robin and demanding payment in ten (10) days. A week after Robin sells the debt to Speedy, Titan’s Inc,’s accountants do an internal audit. They discover that many debts from former employees to the company, from participating in the company’s Home Down Payment Borrowing Program, had never been collected. Among these debts are $5,000 from Robin and also $5,000 from Speedy. When Titans, Inc. gets Speedy’s letter, they ignore it, believing they are now even with Robin and Speedy. When he does not hear back from Titans, Inc., Speedy sues them for the $10,000 debt to Robin. In the lawsuit between Speedy and Titan’s Inc., who should win and who should collect what? .

Lord, Lewis Mumford, and Michel Foucault, as well as the connected lecture content. In these movies and texts, it is often stated or implied that humans becoming more like machines is something negative because it turns us into the opposite of what we (supposedly) are. Why are machines opposed to humans? Why and how do various media turn us into machines? What are the consequences of this transformation for how we act, behave and think? That is, what happens to notions of human agency, creativity, and artistic genius when we become more like machines that we use? Finally, and in your opinion, to what degree should we be concerned if humans are becoming more like machines or if machines become more like humans? Explain your reasoning. .

RTE Cereal Industry Table of “Barriers to Entry” Sept 18, 2017 Kyu Ho Lee BADM 449 Entry Barrier Level Evidence Page Economies of Scale High -“Because of economies resulting from feeding a single packaging line from multiple production lines, an RTE cereal plant was estimated to require a capacity of 75 million pounds per year to achieve minimum efficient scale” -“major firms continually introduced new products, either through creation of a new brand or by the extension of an existing one…Brand extensions were generally considered more likely to succeed than new brands…economies of scale in advertising, and were technologically simpler to develop…” -Pg. 3 -Pg. 5-6 Experience Curve Advantages High -“Since the production process was relatively similar for all cereals and the main source of scale economies was in bagging, a single plant could produce many brands of cereal” -Pg. 3 Intended Excess Capacity Moderate -“General Mills announced it planned to cut $175 million out of its trade promotions and couponing budget, and simultaneously to reduce prices on its biggest brands…by an average of 11 percent.” -Pg. 11 Reputation High -“Big Three had restrained competition among themselves by achieving effective unwritten agreements to limit in-pack premiums” -Pg. 2 Product Differentiation High -“most advertising intensive of all industries, with an advertising/sales ratio as high as %18.5…” -Pg. 5 Capital Requirements High -“a plant of this capacity that combined production and packaging together in one plant employed about 12t employees and required a capital investment in excess of $100 million” -Pg. 3 High Switching Costs of Buyers Low -“neither coupons nor other forms of trade promotions were believed to stimulate total cereal demand very dramatically. Rather, these competitive tactics led primarily to stockpiling and brand-switching by the most fickle consumers” -Pg. 5 Access To Distribution Channels High -“As the number of RTE cereal brands expanded, prime shelf space became even more important. Securing shelf space for a new brand required payment to grocers…While large cereal firms were not exempt from this policy, they had more flexibility than new entrants in shuffling their allocation of space among brands...” -Pg. 4 Favorable Access to Raw Materials and to Markets Moderate -“FTC argued that the leading RTE cereal manufacturers had jointly monopolized the RTE cereal market…” -“incumbent firms may have filled all profitable niches in the cereal market…” -Pg. 2 -Pg. 3 Proprietary Technology High -“some processes-particularly the extrusion processes used in many children’s cereals-were quite complex and required substantial engineering expertise and production experience to master” -“RTE cereal industry as a whole spent about one percent of gross sales on R&D” -“breakfast cereal R&D did generate proprietary new product developments” -Pg. 3 -Pg. 3 -Pg. 4 Exit Barriers High -“RTE breakfast cereals accounted for o.

Total Percentage 100 New York Times “The American Dream, Quantified at Last” By David Leonhardt Dec. 8, 2016 The phrase “American dream” was invented during the Great Depression. It comes from a popular 1931 book by the historian James Truslow Adams, who defined it as “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone.” In the decades that followed, the dream became a reality. Thanks to rapid, widely shared economic growth, nearly all children grew up to achieve the most basic definition of a better life — earning more money and enjoying higher living standards than their parents had. These days, people are arguably more worried about the American dream than at any point since the Depression. But there has been no real measure of it, despite all of the data available. No one has known how many Americans are more affluent than their parents were — and how the number has changed. It’s a thorny research question, because it requires tracking individual families over time rather than (as most economic statistics do) taking one-time snapshots of the country. The beginnings of a breakthrough came several years ago, when a team of economists led by Raj Chetty received access to millions of tax records that stretched over decades. The records were anonymous and came with stric.
