Federally funded university research provides a backbone to the US economy. But how can we improve the productivity of this research? The first step: move away from the simplistic linear model of commercialization. Second step: Embrace the new disciplines of agile strategy and ecosystems.
Business and human rights, particularly in developing countries are under increasing scrutiny. Allegations of sweatshop factories, dangerous working conditions and child labour have been made against a wide-range of companies, particularly those reliant on foreign supply and value chains. The resulting impact to reputation and sales can be hugely detrimental, reflecting an increased ethical awareness amongst customers and investors who are quick to disassociate themselves from tainted brands. This session aims to provide an overview of the issues you should be aware of.

The UN Guiding Principles, while not perfect, provide the clearest expression yet of the international community’s expectations of the human rights responsibilities of corporations, including private sector banks. The most notable response by the banking sector to date has been the formation of the Thun Group in 2011 to discuss the implementation of the Principles, and their first discussion paper, launched in 2013. More than one year from the launch of this paper, and more than three years from the launch of the Guiding Principles themselves, this study attempts to assess how banks are doing at implementing the Principles into their own operations, policies and reporting.
This study presents an overview of current research on the relationship between trade globalization and informal jobs in developing economies. Based on existing academic literature and complemented by new research by the ILO and WTO, this report discusses the impact of trade reforms on different dimensions of informal employment. Various transmission mechanisms are discussed, setting results from country studies against international comparisons. The volume analyses the policies necessary for countries with large informal economies to take advantage of trade reforms and maximize the benefits from international trade. It discusses the obstacles created by high informality rates to translating trade openness into sustainably higher long-term growth rates. The book focuses on the connections between trade, labour and social policies, creating conditions for countries to successfully integrate into the world economy. It will be of interest to all those who are involved in this debate, in particular trade specialists, economists, policy-makers, employers and trade unions.

For the process of economic growth and industrialization the Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) plays a very crucial role in developing and developed countries. For developing nations like Nigeria, the country has great interest in contributing towards the development of SMEs. SMEs provide great advantages to the developing nations. SMEs have been known to increase output and per capita income, increases regional economy and promotes resource utilization in an effective manner, encourage entrepreneurship and all these factors lead to growth and development of the country. The SMEs having labor intensive work also create employment opportunities for people of the nation and this also leads to development of the nation. The SMEs can be established quickly and can produce quick returns. Thus these industries contribute to nations by achieving economic and socio-economic objective in very short period of time and thus also contribute towards the alleviation of poverty

Introduction
To my understanding crime is any act that violates written criminal law. We all, in our societies, see crimes, such as robbery, assault, rape, murder, burglary, and embezzlement, as deviant. Therefore, it is the behavior that goes against all the norms, values and expectations of the society. Law is formally created to regulate the behavior of its members of the society, this is known as formal social control. Why do people violate laws or norms, and how the society reacts to such kind of acts? Usually, people argued that criminals who are considered a member of any society violates the rules or the law because the authorities do not provide them with the basic human needs to live a normal life so, they tend to satisfy their needs by committing crimes. On the other hand, others argued that some people on the societies have some physiological problems that they got from the nature of the environment they lived in which may lead to deviant behavior.
In this essay, I will fully investigate whether different societies and authorities grant criminals their human rights. My research question is “to what extent do the rights of criminals influence the society and its culture?” In this essay, I have broken down this topic into components that are related to each other to answer the research question. Firstly, I will explore the concept of crime and its effect on the culture and the society. Also, I will investigate whether both societies and authorities provide their members the necessary means to achieve culturally valued goals to prevent deviant behavior. Secondly, I will look into both concepts of society and it’s culture that is exhibited into pattern of values, ideas, norms and it is relation to abnormal behavior that is displayed by some member of society. Further, I will discuss whether criminals are given their rights as members of the society and whether these rights will help the criminals to change their unaccepted behavior after their release from prison or these given rights to the criminals may lead another member of the society to deviant criminal behavior. Finally, I will examine a case study of two criminals that lived in different societies with one given his full rights and the other did not get any of his rights. All these questions will be fully investigated and analyzed.

Globalization Effects on Country Institutions, People and Business
Chapter 3
Key Points for the Chapter
Economic development comprises positive economic growth and entails changes in a country’s political, economic, and cultural institutions, as well as in individual values, attitudes, and behaviors.
Economic development requires resources from public and private sectors, both internal and external.
Technology transfers by international corporations comprise manufacturing technologies, management organizations, and marketing know-how.
Intro: The Economic Development Process
Economic development is the progress countries make in living standards as they experience positive economic growth and the changes occurring in societal and cultural institutions and values as nations move toward more advanced stages of industrialization.
Economic progress demonstrates human progress, and more pragmatically, it keeps politicians in power, companies busy, and consumers (and voters) optimistic about the future.
Technology Transfers
International trade, investments, and global media have opened world markets up to a variety of modernizing influences.
In general terms, technology transfers occur as corporations enter new markets with products, technologies, lifestyles, and business methods developed in their home and other international markets.
Technology transfers first affect urban segments of developing countries where there are developed infrastructures and pocket of economically significant customers.
As media become commercialization and distribution channels are built into rural areas, greater proportions of developing-country populations come into contact with modernization influences.
4
Positive Effects
Positive effects occur as societies are exposed to broad varieties of products that make lives easier.
Convenience products such as packaged foods, and consumer durables such as refrigerators, radios, televisions, and stoves have positive effects on consumer lifestyles.
New technologies in manufacturing and distribution make products cheaper and more widely available. They provide employment opportunities for lo.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Chapter 2-The Political Legal and Technological EnvironmentSummary Individualism -People should be free to pursue economic and political endeavors without constraints - Synonym with capitalism and is connected to a free market society -Encourage diversity or competition, combined with private ownership will stimulate productivity -Following the status quo will stunt progress but competing with increase creativity and progress -David Hume, Adam Smith and Aristotle are supporters of this philosophy-Research shows that team performance is negatively influenced by those who consider themselves individualistic but competition stimulates motivation and encourages efforts to achieve goals Collectivism - Views the needs or goals of society at large as more important than individual desires. -Plato believed that individual rights should be sacrificed and property should be community owned. - Emerged in Germany and Italy as “national socialism” or fascism -Authoritarian ideology that considers the individual inferior to the needs of the state and seeks to forge a type of national unity based on religion, cultural, race or ethnicity
3. Socialism -There is government ownership but profit is not the ultimate goal -Based on the philosophies of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engles, and Vladimir IIyich Lenin -Classless society when everything was essentially communal -Broken down into two extremes: Communist & Social Democracy -Communist: Limited individual freedom, everything is government regulated. Former countries under communist control include Soviet Union, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. -Although many countries are no longer under communist rule, China is still communist to this day -Social Democracy: Achieved it's goal through a non violent movement -Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Spain and Sweden are examples - Problems: businesses that were nationalized were inefficient due to the guarantee of funding and the monopolistic structure. Citizens noticed an increase in taxes and prices
4. >The political system or system of government in a country greatly influences how it manages and conducts business. - Legal and regulatory environments can be extremely confusing. - In result, slower time to market and greater costs occur. - MNCs must take time to evaluate legal framework of every different market. > There are four foundations on which laws are based - Islamic Law - Socialist Law - Common Law - Civil or Code Law > MNCs must understand that there are certain rules that one must follow when interacting with another MCN. These are called International Law.
5. > International Law can mostly be summed up by a few basic broad principles. > The International law examples demonstrate the framework of operation for MNCs, but there are also many specific laws that impact businesses as well. - Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is a major example that is easily seen from American history. - Other examples include; Bureaucratization and privatization
25. Question #1 The government system greatly impacts how a country does business. As political polocies continue to change, MNC's must adapt their strategies and practices to accommodate their partners. For example, Chinese government would experience greater challenges when working with EU countries because they are communist. MNC's would need to understand how the communist system of government works and be able to meet the requirements in order to work together successfully with an EU country. "Effective management occurs when the philosophies are recognized." - Agree or disagree? Discussion.

34. Chapter 3-Ethics & Social Responsibility -Ethics: the study of morality and standards of conduct Working conditions, work hours, and labor regulations create challenges for employers and employees. -Human Rights- There is no universally adopted standard Women in the workforce--in Japan they are only offered secretarial or dead end jobs even with college degrees. It's believed they will marry early and leave the job. There are also no sexual harassment laws and managers see women as assistants, therefore not understanding the problem with it. Discussion- Is it even worth going to college if you are only going to get a low paying job and risk sexual harassment? Despite equal opportunity initiatives in the U.S., France, Germany, and Great Britain, women do not receive the same treatment or pay as men in the workforce. Will women ever be able to break through the glass ceiling?
35.
36. Summary Continued -The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) makes it illegal for US companies & their managers to attempt to influence foreign officials through personal payments. IRS continually audits books of MNC's. Those involved are subject to high penalties and jail time. -Passing of this act has paid off because many US multinational companies have increased amount of business in countries they use to pay bribes and made it clear they will not buy stock in companies that use unethical practices. - Look at page 66 at the corruption graph and discuss. -Discussion: Do you think ethnics typically comes into play during a business deal?

50. This continuing trend toward globalization and free trade appears to encourage the development of a set of global ethical, social responsibility, and anti-corruption standards
53. Chapter #3 Questions 1. What lessons can US MNC's learn from the political and bribery scandals in Japan that can be value to them in doing business in this country? Discuss 2. 2. How do ethical practices differ in the US and the European countries such as France and Germany? What implications does your answer have for the US multinationals operating in Europe?
56. Colgate's Distasteful Toothpaste ... 1) - First strategic error, gave H&H complete control of the product. - Second, waited too long to address the issue - Ethics - The study of morality and standards of conduct - Ethics demands us to do what is deemed right by society, Colgate should have known that the racial slur of "Darkie" was something that needed to be addressed. Colgate needed to take control of H&H sooner rather than later.
57. Colgate's Distasteful Toothpaste ... 2) - In our opinion Colgate needed to address the issue sooner and with more force. Colgate thought that by not responding to the issue it would eventually go away, but in fact, by trying to suppress the issue for so long, it actually did more harm than good. A complete name and label change, though possibly dropping total sales, was necessary. Both could have been slowly brought into the market and made public over time so that consumers would find the new H&H product just as good as before.
58. Colgate's Distasteful Toothpaste ... 3) - After a name change, there is almost no way to keep all consumer loyalty, this is why Colgate did not want to change the name. It is definitely a big issue when deciding on a something such as a change in name or image. - Almost fully the reason why Colgate did not respond very quickly to name change.
59. Colgate's Distasteful Toothpaste ... 4) - No, the "no management rights" clause was not a good thing for the company. - In the negotiation process Colgate could have set up an equal rights clause and therefore had more say in the decision making process. If Colgate had more say, they could have caught the problem long before if became such a national issue.
