Choice 1: There are 2 sides to the following argument: Side 1. Financial necessities: Above all, for an international business to be viable, it must generate a profit that is beyond the break-even point. All good intentions aside, a global business that is not profitable will not stay in existence for very long. A company that cannot break even financially will be without necessary funds for development, maintenance, and expansion. Side 2. The importance of ethics: Above all, for an international business to be viable, it must operate in an ethical manner. Although many companies have different levels of profitability at different points in time, the company that disregards its moral obligations is bound to fail because of disapproval from the public, possibly even in the form of legal penalties. A company that cannot avoid scandal will not stay in existence for very long. Determine and explain the most significant strength(s) of each of these 2 arguments. Provide a well-organized and persuasive argument supporting 1 of these two arguments that is most relevant to a global manager. Make sure that the argument is based on evidence from outside references. .

The information gathered from the product line and business makes it possible to create a portfolio of investments that top management must constantly handle to confirm the best return on the corporations invested money. According to Wheelen, the advantages of portfolio analysis include: (1) encouraging top management to evaluate each of the corporation’s business individually, (2) stimulating the use of externally oriented data to supplement management’s judgement, (3) raising the issue of cash flow availability for use in expansion and growth, and finally, (4) a graphic description which facilitates communication.

In a command economy, all production resources and means of production are owned by the state. The government makes decisions about what, how much, and for whom to produce. These are also called planned economies, where only the public sector exists. The main advantages are eliminating wasteful production and allowing for equal distribution of income and wealth. However, there is less competition and consumer choice as most decisions are made by the government. Limited liability makes it easier for companies to attract new shareholders by reducing personal financial risk for investors. Some reasons a sole trader might want to become a limited company include limited liability, continuity of the business, and the ability to raise capital by selling shares.

Learning Activity 1In the readings for this week we learned about .docx
Learning Activity 1
In the readings for this week we learned about the Demand Model that was introduced by Professor Michael Porter. According to the model, the ability of the firms in an industry whose origin is in a particular company to be successful in the international arena is shaped by four factors (1) their home country’s demand conditions, (1) their home country’s factor conditions, (3) related and supporting industries within their home country, and (4) strategy, structure, and rivalry among domestic competitors.
Learning Activity
Respond to the following questions:
(1)
Which of the four elements of the diamond model do you believe has the strongest influence on a firm’s fate when it competes in international markets?
(2)
Provide an example of a company that demonstrates this ability to compete internationally and how this company demonstrates this ability.
(3)
Which of the three types of International Strategies that were discussed in our readings does this company demonstrate? Provide a justification for your strategy choice.
Learning Activity 2
Multinational Organizations
1. International firms or multinational corporations are organizations that conduct business operations across national borders.
2. The strategic-management process is conceptually the same for multinational firms as for purely domestic firms, although the process is more complex for international firms due to more variables and relationships.
3. More time and effort are required to identify and evaluate external trends and events in multinational organizations than in domestic corporations.
4. Multinational corporations face unique and diverse risks, such as expropriation of assets, currency losses through exchange rate fluctuations, unfavorable foreign court interpretations of contracts and agreements, social/political disturbances, import/export restrictions, tariffs, and trade barriers.
5. Before entering international markets, firms should scan relevant journals and patent reports, seek the advice of academic and research organizations, participate in international trade fairs, form partnerships, and conduct extensive research to broaden their contacts and diminish the risk of doing business in new markets.
The Global Challenge
1. Few companies can afford to ignore the presence of international competition. Firms that seem insulated and comfortable today may be vulnerable tomorrow.
a. How to gain and maintain exports to other nations
b. How to defend domestic markets against imported goods.
2. America's economy is becoming much less American, as a world economy and monetary system are emerging. More and more countries around the world are welcoming foreign investment and capital. As a result, labor markets have steadily become more international.
3. Many countries became more protectionist during the recent global economic recession. Protectionism refers to countries imposing tariffs, taxes, and regulations on firms outside the country to favor.

In a command economy, all production resources and means of production are owned by the state. The government makes decisions about what, how much, and for whom to produce. These are also called planned economies, where only the public sector exists. The main advantages are eliminating wasteful production and allowing for equal distribution of income and wealth. However, there is less competition and consumer choice as most decisions are made by the government. Limited liability makes it easier for companies to attract new shareholders by reducing personal financial risk for investors. Some reasons a sole trader might want to become a limited company include limited liability, continuity of the business, and the ability to raise capital by selling shares.

Today’s business leaders are having to deal with multiple and complex short-term concerns, like declining growth, political uncertainty, resistance to globalization, social division, and so on. But as the 2020s approach, leaders must also look beyond today’s situation and understand at a more fundamental level what will separate the winners from the losers in the next decade.

These external factors can be Brocken into political, economic, environmental, social and technological commonly referred to as the PESTLE analysis.

Learning Activity 1In the readings for this week we learned about .docx
Learning Activity 1
In the readings for this week we learned about the Demand Model that was introduced by Professor Michael Porter. According to the model, the ability of the firms in an industry whose origin is in a particular company to be successful in the international arena is shaped by four factors (1) their home country’s demand conditions, (1) their home country’s factor conditions, (3) related and supporting industries within their home country, and (4) strategy, structure, and rivalry among domestic competitors.
Learning Activity
Respond to the following questions:
(1)
Which of the four elements of the diamond model do you believe has the strongest influence on a firm’s fate when it competes in international markets?
(2)
Provide an example of a company that demonstrates this ability to compete internationally and how this company demonstrates this ability.
(3)
Which of the three types of International Strategies that were discussed in our readings does this company demonstrate? Provide a justification for your strategy choice.
Learning Activity 2
Multinational Organizations
1. International firms or multinational corporations are organizations that conduct business operations across national borders.
2. The strategic-management process is conceptually the same for multinational firms as for purely domestic firms, although the process is more complex for international firms due to more variables and relationships.
3. More time and effort are required to identify and evaluate external trends and events in multinational organizations than in domestic corporations.
4. Multinational corporations face unique and diverse risks, such as expropriation of assets, currency losses through exchange rate fluctuations, unfavorable foreign court interpretations of contracts and agreements, social/political disturbances, import/export restrictions, tariffs, and trade barriers.
5. Before entering international markets, firms should scan relevant journals and patent reports, seek the advice of academic and research organizations, participate in international trade fairs, form partnerships, and conduct extensive research to broaden their contacts and diminish the risk of doing business in new markets.
The Global Challenge
1. Few companies can afford to ignore the presence of international competition. Firms that seem insulated and comfortable today may be vulnerable tomorrow.
a. How to gain and maintain exports to other nations
b. How to defend domestic markets against imported goods.
2. America's economy is becoming much less American, as a world economy and monetary system are emerging. More and more countries around the world are welcoming foreign investment and capital. As a result, labor markets have steadily become more international.
3. Many countries became more protectionist during the recent global economic recession. Protectionism refers to countries imposing tariffs, taxes, and regulations on firms outside the country to favor.

Choice 1 There are 2 sides to the following argumentSide 1. Fi.docx
- 1. Choice 1: There are 2 sides to the following argument: Side 1. Financial necessities: Above all, for an international business to be viable, it must generate a profit that is beyond the break-even point. All good intentions aside, a global business that is not profitable will not stay in existence for very long. A company that cannot break even financially will be without necessary funds for development, maintenance, and expansion. Side 2. The importance of ethics: Above all, for an international business to be viable, it must operate in an ethical manner. Although many companies have different levels of profitability at different points in time, the company that disregards its moral obligations is bound to fail because of disapproval from the public, possibly even in the form of legal penalties. A company that cannot avoid scandal will not stay in existence for very long. Determine and explain the most significant strength(s) of each of these 2 arguments. Provide a well-organized and persuasive argument supporting 1 of these two arguments that is most relevant to a global manager. Make sure that the argument is based on evidence from outside references.
