It analyzes the net present value (NPV) of projects in Indaiatuba and Manaus, considering Brazil's exchange rates, currency risk, and political/social risks. The analysis recommends Indaiatuba as the location, since it has a higher NPV when converted to Brazilian real and Brazil's currency and economic stability make it a suitable investment environment.

Predicting the impact of FIFA 2014 & Olympics 2016 on the economy of Brazil's...Nitesh Singh Patel
The document analyzes the predicted economic impact of hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics on Brazil. It finds that most past host countries did not see profits from such events, except Los Angeles in 1984 and Barcelona in 1992. Brazil plans to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure upgrades for the events. This is expected to boost tourism, telecommunications, and transportation sectors. Quantitative analysis shows high correlation between GDP and FDI in Brazil. While the events may boost Brazil's economy, the government needs to control costs to avoid overruns and delays.
The 2015 M4M Event saw impressive growth over previous years with a 22% increase in participation over 2014. A total of 588 participants took part in the 1 mile, 5k, 10k, and 10 mile races. The event raised $18,000 total with $14,000 donated locally and $4,000 donated globally. Partners and sponsors contributed $14,573 to help offset event costs. The event was deemed a success with good participation numbers, fundraising goals met, and positive feedback from participants. Planning will begin for the 2016 M4M Event to continue growing the event.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Editor's Notes
My name is Shirley Layne and I have prepared an Executive Report for GBATT. I am a Doctoral Business of Administration student at Argosy University, Phoenix, Arizona.
Overview on topics to be discussed.

Analysis of GBATT decision making on expansion operations in Brazil benefits from the NPV of choice B cash flows showed the retain of revenue from the cash flows. The cash flows is just the surface of expansion operations, the decision making on expansion operations also includes a location, the exchange risks, country risks, and political risks. The selection of a location in Brazil can include Indaiatuba and Manaus. Indaiatuba is local in São Paulo, São Paulo is the capital of Brazil; it is a 90 minutes’ drive from Indaiatuba to São Paulo (expatarrivals.com). Indaiatuba is south of São Paulo. Besides this, “… John Deer Construction & Forestry Division has two locations in Indaiatuba Brazil ...” (forconstructionpros.com).

Manaus is in the northwestern part of Brazil and on ALK3R list of The Ten Best Places To Visit in Brazil and a tourist attraction.

The exchange risks was on the devalue of the Brazilian real in Brazil stock market; this revalue of the currency “… led to a fall in the average company’s stock market returns, …”(Junior, 2011.p.2). The fall in the average company’s stocks lessen revenues for companies in Brazil. Correspondingly in exchange risks, “… exchange rates lead stock prices”. (Tabak, 2006.p.1). The observation on the currency exchanges rates of Brazil real in Brazil stock market can be notes for the CFO to aid in the decision making. The country risks included “… drought…” (Reactions); “… forest fires and flooding …” (Brazil Country Review); and routine “ … Natural Hazards: - recurring droughts in northeast – floods and occasional frost in South …” (Brazil Country Review). The political risks included “ … ongoing tensions between business interests and many of Brazil’s indigenous tribes, …; … infrastructure bottlenecks …; … tax burden… ; … gang violence …; … corruption …; and … drug trafficking… ” (Latin America Monitor). The social risks included “… poverty…”; low “… educational attainment…”, the educational attainment level was “… well below the OECD average of 74% ... Brazil 33rd out of 40 OECD countries”. (Latin America Monitor).
The Value of A Company’s WACC and NPV function is for different purposes to determine the a company cost of debt. The WACC purpose is to project “…all-equity free cash flows and then finding the value of the levered firm by discounting the all-equity free cash flows…”(Bekaert & Hodrick 2011.p.555). The WACC projection includes calculation for taxes. The NPV purpose to project the present value of the company cost of debt and the frequency of reoccurrence on the cash flows. (Bekaert & Hodrick et al., 2011.p.554). Bekaert & Hodrick et al., (2011) analysis of the functions of WACC and NPV selected NPV as reliable in projecting the value of MNCs cost of debt in an international country (.p.522). The recommendation is to use choice B net present value of cash flows for the decision making investments in Brazil.
GBATT’s WACC = (.6*.09) + ((.4*.09) * (1-.35)) = (0.054) + ((0.036) * (.65)) = (0.054 + 0.0234 = 0.0774 = 7.74%
NPV Values 2-5 = 11.34989225 NPV Values 2-5 = 11.34989225
NPV Values 6-7 = 11.59933423 NPV Values 6-7 = 11.59933423
1 to 254 payments and income, equally spaced in time occurring at the end of each period.
GBATT decision making on expansion operations in Brazil benefits can also include the current exchange rates of United States Dollar (USD) $ for Brazilian Real (BRL) R$ was 1 US $ for 3.0261 (BRL) R$ (finance.yahoo.com). The current exchange rates convert to the NPV’s to the Brazil real - 3.0261 (BRL) R$ for 1 US $: 3.0261 * 11.34989225 = 34.3459089377; 3.0261 * 11.59933423 = 35.1007453134.
GBATT current capital structure is:
60% equity and 40 % debt, the equity suggests the possibility for GBATT to expand. The perception to increase capital by planning to establish a location in Brazil is an excellent one.
Stockholders require 6% return on their investment; this rate of return on investment is too low. Stockholders should be informed that their return on investments can increase. The increase on the return on investments will attract investors with a higher bankroll. 10% is a macroeconomic rate for return on investments.
Bondholders require a 3% return on their investments; the rate of return on the investment is too low. Bondholders should be informed that their return on investments can increase. The increase on the return on investments will attract investors, stockholders return on investment will increase and GBATT will generate more profits. The return on investments for bondholders should increase to over 5%. Investors can benefit from bondholders purchasing bonds at 105% or higher; the profit can also include benefits from “… tax advantage…” (forbes.com) if the return on investments rates for stockholders and bondholders increase.
In Layne 2015, " ... operating cost was GBATTs' taxes at 35%, this tax basis suggested that the local location of GBATT has a high tax rate, and, maybe GBATT should consider closing the local operation and choosing another location, to open and conduct business to be more profitable, and also, limit the costs of taxes to GBATT." (.p.1).
GBATT decision making on expansion operations in Brazil benefits can also include the current exchange rates of United States Dollar (USD) $ for Brazilian Real (BRL) R$ was 1 US $ for 3.0261 (BRL) R$. (finance.yahoo.com), Brazil is “… set for an oil and gas boom …” (Latin America Monitor) in the future, and investments will increase in Brazil because of the oil and gas boom. Brazil has the “ … largest consumer bases …” (Latin America Monitor), the consumers in Brazil speculation for investments is excellent for decision making to expand operations in Brazil. For example, China imports from Brazil and venture capital in and from Brazil “… boosted econ-nomic activity and drove currency ap-preciation”. (Latin America Monitor). China has share in the profits from Brazil economy. The Brazil “… GDP per capita more than triple between 2000 and 2012 to US $ 11,354, …” (Latin America Monitor), the economy growth is another indicator for decision making, Conversely, Brazil has “… high cost of doing business in Brazil… “ (Latin America Monitor) but the high cost of doing business can be offset with the currency exchange: 3.0261 (BRL) R$ for 1 US $. Additionally, Brazil currency grade was excellent among the other developing countries’ currencies grade ( Prasanna, 2008.p.7). Tabak et al., (2006) expressed “The Boves Pa Index (the São Paulo Stock Exchange Index, the most important Stock index in the country)…” (.p.2) was the stock exchange to utilize for observation and decision making on application of stocks in Brazil. The recommendation is to use choice B net present value of cash flows for the decision making investments in Brazil. The recommendation for the selection of a location for GBATT for expansion operations in Brazil is Indaiatuba.
