June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INTRODUCTION
○When an organization has made a decision to enter
an overseas market, there are a variety of options open
to it.
○These options vary with cost, risk & the degree of
control which can be exercised over them.
○One of the most important strategic decisions in
international business is the mode of entering the
foreign market.
4. Exporting
●Exporting is the most traditional and well established
form of operating in foreign markets.
●Exporting can be defined as the marketing of goods
produced in one country into another.
●Whilst no direct manufacturing is required in an overseas
country, significant investments in marketing are required.
● The tendency may be not to obtain as much detailed
marketing information as compared to manufacturing in
marketing country.
5. ○ Exporting methods include direct or indirect export.
○ In direct exporting the organization may use an agent,
distributor, or overseas subsidiary, or act via a
Government agency.
○ Indirect methods offer :
* Contracts - in the operating market or worldwide
* Commission states give high motivation (not
necessarily loyalty)
* Manufacturer/exporter needs little expertise
* Credit acceptance takes burden from manufacturer.
6. advantages of exporting
○ Manufacturing is home based thus, it is less risky than
overseas based
○ Gives an opportunity to "learn" overseas markets
before investing in bricks and mortar
○ Reduces the potential risks of operating overseas.
7. disadvantages of exporting
The disadvantage is mainly that one can be at the "mercy"
of overseas agents and so the lack of control has to be
weighed against the advantages.
8. FRANCHISING
○ Players : Franchisor & Franchisee.
○ In terms of distribution, the franchisor is a supplier who
allows an operator, or a franchisee, to use the
supplier's trademark and distribute the supplier's
goods.
○ In return, the operator pays the supplier a fee.
○ Thirty three countries, including the United States, and
Australia, have laws that regulate franchising.
○ Franchising is the practice of using another firm's
successful business model.
9. ○ For the franchisor, the franchise is an alternative to
building ‘Chain Stores’ to distribute goods that avoids
the investments and liability of a chain.
○ The franchisor's success depends on the success of
the franchisees.
○ The franchisee is said to have a greater incentive than
a direct employee because he or she has a direct stake
in the business.
11. advantages of franchising
○ Freedom of Employment
○ Proven products & Services
○ Proven Trade Mark
○ Reduced Risk of Failure
12. LICENSING
Licensing is defined as "the method of foreign operation
whereby a firm in one country agrees to permit a company
in another country to use the manufacturing, processing,
trademark, know-how or some other skill provided by the
licensor".
13. ○Licensing involves little expense and involvement.
○The only cost is signing the agreement and policing its
implementation.
○It is quite similar to the "franchise" operation.
○Coca Cola is an excellent example of licensing.
14. Advantages of Licensing.
○ Good way to start in foreign operations and open the
door to low risk manufacturing relationships
○ Linkage of parent and receiving partner interests
means both get most out of marketing effort
○ Capital not tied up in foreign operation and
○ Options to buy into partner exist or provision to take
royalties in stock
15. Disadvantages of Licensing.
○ Limited form of participation - to length of agreement,
specific product, process or trademark.
○ Potential returns from marketing and manufacturing
may be lost.
○ Partner develops know-how and so license is short.
○ Licensees become competitors - overcome by having
cross technology transfer deals and
○ Requires considerable fact finding, planning,
investigation and interpretation.
16. JOINT VENTURES
○ Joint ventures can be defined as
"an enterprise in which two or more investors
share ownership and control over property rights and
operation."
○ It is a very common strategy of entering the foreign
market.
17. ○ Any form of association which implies collaboration for
more than a transitory period is a joint venture.
○ A joint venture may be brought about by a foreign
investor showing an interest in local company,
○ A local firm acquiring an interest in an existing foreign
firm or
○ By both the foreign and local entrepreneurs jointly
forming a new enterprise.
18. Advantages of joint
venture
○ Sharing of RISK.
○ Joint financial strength.
○ May be only means of entry in some countries.
19. Disadvantages of joint venture
○ Partners do not have full control of management.
○ May be impossible to recover capital if need be.
○ Partners may have different views on expected
benefits.
21. COUNTER TRADE
• Largest indirect method of exporting is countertrade.
• Countertrade means exchanging goods or services which are
paid for, in whole or part, with other goods or services, rather
than with money.
• A monetary valuation can however be used in counter trade for
accounting purposes.
22. ○ Countertrade also occurs when countries lack sufficient hard
currency, or when other types of market trade are impossible.
○ In 2000, India and Iraq agreed on an "oil for wheat and rice" barter
deal.
Countertrade is a system of international trading that helps
governments reduce imbalances in trade between them and other
countries. It involves the direct or indirect exchange of goods for
other goods instead of currency.
23. TURNKEY CONTRACTS
• An agreement under which a contractor completes a project,
then hands it over in fully operational form to the client, which
needs to do nothing but ""turn a key"", here the constructor builds
an item to the buyer's exact specifications, or when an
incomplete product is sold with the assumption that the buyer
would complete it.
24. • Many turnkey contracts involve government/public sector as
buyer.
• A turnkey contractor may subcontract different phases/parts of
the project.
The advantage of a turnkey project is that a single contractor
oversees all aspects of construction from beginning to end.
25. CONTRACT
MANUFACTURING
• Contract manufacturing is the outsourcing of part of the
manufacturing process of a product to a third-party. A company
may outsource the manufacture of certain components for the
product or outsource the assembly of the product.
26. • Why would a company opt for
contract manufacturing?
28. Disadvantages
○ Contract manufacturing does have disadvantages for
the company, the foreign employees, and the
company's domestic economy. Since 2001, the United
States has outsourced millions of manufacturing jobs,
which has resulted in a great deal of job displacement
for many Americans, who may never find a
replacement job with similar wages and benefits.
○ the company outsourcing the work does give up some
control of the manufacture of its products.
29. THIRD COUNTRY LOCATION
• This is sometimes used as an entry strategy.
• When there is no commercial transaction between 2 nations
because of political reasons,
• or when direct transactions between 2 nations are difficult &
• if one nation wants to enter other nation,
• then the nation will have to operate from the third country base.
• It may be helpful to take advantage of the friendly trade
relations between the third party & the foreign market
concerned.
30. Advantages
• Increasing the market power.
• Acquisition of Technology.
• Optimum utilization of Resources.
• Minimization of Risks.
• Tax Benefits
31. MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
• This strategy is also known as an expansion strategy.
• M&As have been imp & powerful driver of globalization.
• Between 1980 – 2000 the value of cross border grew at an
average annual rate of 40%.
• A large no. of foreign firms have entered India through
acquisition.
• Example: Automobiles, Pharmacy, banking, telecom etc.
32. ○ The value of global mergers and acquisitions deals
reached 3.23 trillion U.S. dollars in 2014. In that year, the
United States proved to be the largest M&A market
worldwide.
○ As far as the industry sectors are concerned, the
highest value of M&A deals that was signed in the
technology, media & telecommunications sector.
