Question 2 (30 Marks) The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has been occurring since January 2020. Lock down policies, social distancing, and the emergence of e-commerce have created the 'new normal' of freight transport and logistics sectors. As such, there is a need to re-examine freight transport and logistics in light of the new business context. The theme of this Research Topic focuses on exploring potential trends of freight transport and logistics and developing policies and strategies in the post COVID-19 world. As expected, submitted research papers will contribute to strengthening our knowledge on:- What preparedness alternatives are required and what lessons have been discovered?- What adaptation strategies and resilience management are needed to be developed and implemented? National closures and quarantines have been closing down producers and factories in global supply chains because of the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. Most global logistics firms have undergone collapses of global supply chain operations and management. To a certain extent, the pandemic has uncovered vulnerabilities rooted in the rise of globalization over recent decades. Despite the numerous academic research studies conducted into and during the COVID-19 pandemic, sustainable and innovative freight transport and logistics research remain under-researched. The consumer's relationship with retailers is no longer that of a person in need seeking something from a giant provider. Shifting trends have given consumers more power in the relationship, causing consumer activity to change and forcing retailers to adjust accordingly. Question 2 (30 Marks) Evaluate the links between the physical world and the virtual world and how they are shortening, which also renders some links in the supply chain to be less relevant than they once were..

Regina had been working in the same nursing position for 8 years. During that time, she'd been surrounded by constant drama between her supervisor and her co-workers. As much as she tried to stay out of it, she always ended up being brought in somehow. She didn't feel appreciated by her organization, and many of the coworkers she was close with had gone on to work other jobs. Even though Regina loves the patients she serves, she is considering other opportunities. This is an example of .....

Recently, the movie The Class was shown at the New York Film Festival, to the displeasure of many French. The actors were young Parisians. According to one movie critic: With their cell phones and pouts, these bored, restless junior high school students look pretty much the fidgety progeny of Anytown, U.S.A. One difference being that these African, Arab, and Asian Parisians live in a country that insists its citizens have only one cultural identity, even if its identityas Frances smoldering suburbs vividly suggestmany of these same young people dont feel welcome to share. Many French believe that Americans are obsessed with issues of race and ethnicity, particularly with tracking statistics where people are artificially put into airtight categories (whites, blacks, Hispanics, and such). France does not even include this type of information in its census, believing that this is against a common French identity as a republican ideal. Do you think it is meaningful to classify people into types? Why do you think the United States, contrary to the French, insists on classifying people? Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages in doing this? Explain..

Question: Based on the description in the case above, give your recommendation so that Olympus can improve its management control system! Olympus Corporation is a Japanese company engaged in the field of optics and images such as the manufacture of cameras, microscopes, thermometers, memory cards and camera lenses. Olympus was founded on October 12, 1919 in Tokyo, Japan. While their headquarters in America are in Allentown, Pennsylvania and in Europe they are headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Olympus also has fantastic revenues with an average annual sales of USD 10 billion and employs more than 35,000 people worldwide. The first product produced by Olympus was a microscope which was introduced in Japan in 1920. Since then, Olympus has been a provider of precision microscopes and microscopy systems for the clinical laboratory, science, engineering, education, food, agriculture, fisheries, animal husbandry and research industries. When it first opened for business in 1919 under the name Takachiho Seisakusho by Takeshi Yamashita, the Olympus Corporation was not known for photographic equipment. Instead, the company was designed to manufacture microscopes, and still today the Olympus Corporation is a world leader in the manufacture of medical microscopes and medical imaging equipment and instruments - endoscopes in particular. Olympus launched its first line of cameras in 1936, and played a founding role in the digital photography revolution. Headquartered in Tokyo, Olympus has estimated annual sales of $10 billion and employs 35,000 people. Olympus management structure regarding corporate governance (CG) practices, is not drastically different from that of Western multinational corporations (MNCs), but there are some important differences based on the themes of independence, objectivity and oversight. Olympus adopted a corporate structure with an auditor system based on Japanese Company Law. In Western multinational corporations, the hierarchy is arranged in such a way that apart from the general shareholders (who ostensibly hold the highest power), then on the other hand there is the Board of Directors (BOD) who holds the highest power, with the Audit Committee having the responsibility to report to them. In contrast, Japanese Company Law The Board of Audit is at the same level as the Board of Directors, although it has auditing authority above it. The Olympus Board of Directors has 15 members, including three outside directors. The fact that the BOD internally gave biased reports would later prove to be a source of ire for foreign investors. Interestingly, usually in public companies the ratio of outsiders to insiders should be greater, but not in Japanese companies, in fact many Japanese companies do not have non-executive independents (outsiders) in their BOD. In 2011 there was a scandal that was quite shocking so that Olympus was categorized / branded as one of the companies that had a bad management accounting system in the history of co.

Recall that your trip to Mars is accomplished by using an elliptic transfer orbit going from Earth to Mars as shown in Fig. 1. This trajectory assumes that Earth at departure, the Sun, and Mars at arrival, are aligned. If the transfer orbit has a semi-major axis of 195100000 km, how long, in days, would the interplanetary trip last? Hint: first, determine the period of the transfer orbit. Mars @ arrival Fig. 1. Transfer Orbit.

Then, pick one of the following states to be the Governor of: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Vermont, or Louisiana Once you pick a state, answer the following questions: Make sure to use at least two of the economic concepts in this week's readings in your discussion to obtain full credit. Examples include supply, demand, complements, efficiency, substitutes, etc. Identify the concepts you are using in your post to obtain a full credit and remember - number matter the back story on front page economics NEWSLETTER May =2014 The Economics of Immigration: A Story of Substitutes and Complements Scott A. Wolla, Senior Economic Education Specialist "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe frae"- Emma Lazarus America is a nation of immigrants. Currently, immigrants make up about 13 percent of the overall population, which means about 40 million people living in the United States are foreign born.' Indeed, nearly all Americans have an immigration story in their family history. Yet, despite their history and a culture of immigration. Americans have mixed feelings about whether the country should keep its welcome mat out on the doorstep. A 2014 Gallup poll reports 72 percent of Americans believe immigration is a good thing, but 36 percent would like to see the level of immigration dectease, 2 Economists, who focus on economic costs and benefits, are generally more supportive of immigration than the general public. NOTE: The share of the labor forte that is foreign bom has increased over time. Athough the shave dropped buring the most recent recession II5.1 percent in February 2009, the share had increased to 16.3 perent as af March 2014. The gay bar indicates the 260709 recossion as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The Economics of Immigration In many ways, the arguments about the economics of immigration are similar to those about the economics of international trade. Economists typically reason that voluntary trade is mutually beneficial-if it were not, the trade partners would not pursue trade. Economists therefore generally support free and open trade of goods and services across national borders. In a similar way, economists think of immigration as mutually beneficial "trade" between immigrants and their employers. And as with trade, both the immigrant workers and their employers generally benefit. Not surprisingly, economists generally support free and open immigration. Immigration increases labor resources, which increase the productive capacity of the economy, Currently, foreign-born workers make up 16.3 percent of the labor force (see the chart). Stated differently, the increase in labor resources increases the economy's ability to produce goods and services. But how does immigration affect the average American? Once the costs and benefits are weighed, economists estimate the ann.
