Supply chain management and globalization are two commonly highlighted terms in this course. In many ways, domestic supply chain management is not any different than global supply chain management, except for the larger area of operations. The biggest pros of going global are access to new markets and the potential for greater growth and revenue. Other pros of going global are access to technology, labor forces, better access to procurement sources, lower production costs, and the list goes on. The cons with going global are larger travel distances, monitoring logistical processes, different business practices, cultural differences, language differences, higher transportation costs, and customs documentation requirements (Coyle, Langley, Novack, & Gibson, 2017, p. 9). Globalization has also been a highly sensitive political debate among Americans. Arguments range from jobs leaving the U.S. to greater global brand recognition. Some would argue jobs are lost when firms offshore production, while others would argue that with offshoring comes lower prices and greater firm presence in new markets. Globalization is a very debatable subject, but I tend to believe that in capitalistic markets its necessary and will continue well into the future. So why do firms decide to globalize their supply chains? Simchi-Levi, Kaminsky, and Simchi-Levi (2008) identify four reasons for globalization that are known as global market forces, technological forces, global cost forces, and political and economic forces (p. 313). Global market forces are the pressures firms face when foreign competitors sell in their domestic market, plus the opportunities they gain by selling in their competitor’s market. Technological forces are the pressures firms face with going abroad to gain new access to technologies. Global cost forces are the profit driven pressures firms face when deciding where to source supply and production. Lastly, political and economic forces are the pressures firms face with the politics of moving abroad and the economic reasons for moving abroad. I thought it would be important to list these four reasons for globalization as they establish a common groundwork for firms deciding to go global. Dan Coyle, J. J., Langley, J. C., Novack, R.

This document provides an outline for a report on offshoring. Section I discusses reasons why companies engage in offshoring, including lower labor costs, advances in technology and telecommunications that allow work to be done remotely, and access to new markets. Section II covers different types of sourcing strategies such as offshoring, outsourcing, insourcing, and nearshoring. Section III discusses benefits of outsourcing, including cost savings, increased efficiency, risk management, and competitive advantages from flexibility and 24/7 operations. Section IV notes potential disadvantages like loss of control, hidden costs, quality issues, and cultural problems.
Master thesis on Cross Listings
The document is a master's thesis that examines cross-listings in emerging and frontier countries. It contains 5 chapters: 1) Introduction, 2) Literature Review, 3) Methodology, 4) Findings, and 5) Conclusions. The Introduction defines cross-listing and identifies key drivers. It also classifies different types of cross-listings. The Literature Review introduces several theories on cross-listings and identifies the dependent variable of cumulative abnormal returns. It predicts the direction of impact for each theory. The Methodology chapter outlines the models, controls, and data sources used.
Drivers & hurdles of globalization
This document discusses the drivers and hurdles of globalization. The key drivers that propel globalization forward are technological advances in transportation and communication, political liberalization of trade policies, saturation of domestic markets leading companies to internationalize, leveraging costs differences between countries, and increased global competition. However, globalization also faces hurdles such as technological standards barriers between countries, cultural differences that make cross-border business difficult, debates around the ethics of international trade practices, and economic trade barriers that governments impose.

Globalization and its benefits
Globalization involves increasing integration between countries through reducing trade barriers and increasing international trade and investment. This process aims to increase wealth by improving labor specialization and competition globally. Globalization has significantly impacted businesses and transformed economies by allowing companies to outsource manufacturing and services to lower costs. While globalization has benefits like increased prosperity, it also has negative social and cultural impacts and increased inequality that require consideration of policy choices.

Emerging acquirers
This document summarizes research on cross-border acquisitions (CBAs) made by firms from emerging countries between 1991-2008. It finds that:
1) Targets of CBAs by emerging country firms tend to be small, though some deals exceed $1 billion. Emerging country acquirers experience a positive 1.09% stock return on acquisition announcements.
2) Returns are positively correlated with better corporate governance in the target country, supporting the idea that acquirers "bootstrap" themselves to higher governance standards.
3) Theories on returns to acquirers focus on diversification, efficiency gains, and market power, but neoclassical theories also consider changes in shareholder rights from
Hitting The Wall Nike And International Labor Practices
Nike adopted a strategy of outsourcing all manufacturing to low-cost countries to reduce costs. While this saved on wages, it led to issues with working conditions and ethics. Nike failed to properly manage its outsourcing relationships and communicate its values to contract manufacturers. When reports of unethical practices surfaced, the company was unprepared and its reputation suffered. Moving forward, Nike learned to be more transparent and conduct marketing audits to improve social responsibility and regain consumer trust.

The reshoring decision
- About 15 years ago, many companies moved production overseas, especially to China and India, to take advantage of low labor costs. However, they soon realized offshoring also had risks and costs that were underestimated.
- Now, some prominent manufacturers are bringing production back home, prompting other companies to rethink the benefits of reshoring. The main motivations for reshoring are shortening supply chains, reducing shipping costs, and having more local control over manufacturing processes.
- Successfully reshoring requires considering strategic factors like industry trends, global market growth, and future-proofing decisions. It also demands rebuilding domestic supplier networks, addressing labor shortages through training, and adopting lean manufacturing practices.
The Reshoring Decision | Bringing Production Home Successfully
After massively relocating their production and assembly work overseas, many manufacturers have realized over time that offshoring also comes with its own risks and costs.
Here is what you need to consider to reshore manufacturing successfully.

Impact of globalization on organizational behaviour
One of the other major environmental context impacting organizational behavior is globalization.
Today, well-known U.S.-based multinational corporations have more than half their assets overseas.
With trends toward similar clothes, entertainment, material possessions, and recognition that English is the international business language, people around the world still think and behave in different ways.
The starting point of how the globalization environment affects and is affected by organizational behavior is culture.

The Effects of International Diversification on Firm
Performance: An Empirical Study across Twelve
European Countries

The relationship between international diversification and firm performance is a
binomial that has led to many investigations leading to mixed results, in some cases
there is a positive relationship, in others no significant relationship or even negative. In
this paper we try to find the possible reasons why these results occur. The international
diversification is assessed by the ratio of exports to total turnover. Besides, we extend
the research to the different performance that industrial and service firms could have,
bearing in mind, too, if their business culture base originates from civil law or common
law countries. Based on a sample of 1721 firms from twelve European countries, we
compare this relationship for the 2000-2009 period. The empirical results obtained
show a stronger ID-performance positive relationship in service firms than in industrial
ones. Those firms with a culture based on civil law systems (bank oriented financial
system) will have greater flexibility to counteract the negative relationship between ID
and performance, than those firms with culture based on common law systems (capital
market oriented system).
Introduction
Accessing foreign markets is becoming a more and more attractive option for firms.
International diversification (ID) is a stabilisation procedure for the firm’s sales and
also a way of reducing the risks derived from the reduction in demand on the domestic
market. Likewise, the presence of a firm on the global market entails greater derived
risks, mainly due to the greater uncertainty and commitment of resources entailed by this
action. It also represents a challenge to improve their competitiveness in their fight with
local firms (Lucas, 1993; Bowen & Wersema, 2005). The degree of internationalisation is
also contemplated a ...
INTERNATIONALISATION .pptx
The document discusses internationalization and the process by which organizations operate outside their home country. It provides reasons for why firms internationalize, such as saturated domestic markets or access to new resources. Benefits are also outlined, like reducing costs through economies of scale and gaining a wider customer base. However, the document notes internationalization faces challenges, including cultural differences that require customizing products for new markets and complying with varying tax regulations and political environments across countries. Overall, the document provides an overview of the concept of internationalization for businesses operating globally.
Globalization And Its Affect Upon Domestic Business Practices
The document discusses how globalization has affected domestic business practices. It outlines the four main international institutions that regulate global commerce: the World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and United Nations. The text argues that international business should be taught separately from domestic business for four key reasons: differences in cultures, more complex management problems, government intervention issues, and currency conversions. Globalization has increased competition for domestic companies from both domestic and international competitors. Firms must conduct market analysis and develop strategies to gain market share over others operating globally.

Abstract
During the last decades we have witnessed a large number of entrepreneurial
firms that reach the world market at a fast pace (”born global firms”). Our analysis
suggests that the ongoing globalization process indeed implies that born to be global
firms would be more prominent in the world economy due to the reduction of the
cost of exploiting good business ideas globally. However, our analysis also suggests
that entrepreneurial firms have incentive to sell their business to incumbents. Indeed
we show that ”born to be sold global firms” can be even more frequent as a result
of trade liberalization, the international deregulation of the market for corporate
control and the strengthening of international cartel policy.
1. Introduction
In the last decades have we have witnessed a large number of firms that become inter-
national leaders in a short time. Prominent examples are Google and Facebook which

have generated exports revenues of substantial amount at impressive speed. Moreover, we
observe inventions made by small entrepreneurs being acquired by incumbents which use
them to gain a strong competitive advantage in the world market. Example of this type
of process is Skype who first was acquired by Ebay and later by Microsoft. The success of
these so called ”born global firms” has spurred an interest in the determinants and welfare
effects of these types of firms. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the generation
of such knowledge.
The starting point of the paper is that entrepreneurial firms with a global potential
face considerable problems when trying to fully exploit the potential value of an inven-
tion or business idea internationally. Complementary assets such as distribution networks,
marketing channels, financial resources, manufacturing know-how and brand names — i.e.
assets typically held by large established firms - are often needed, and we observe a signif-
icant amount of inter-firm technology transfers, ranging from joint ventures and licensing
to outright acquisitions of innovations.1 Thus to understand the phenomena of born to
be global firms we need to understand how the economic environment affects the incen-
tive of business development for sale to incumbents relative business development for own
export.2

2 Previous Business Review articles have
questioned the extent to which globalization
has taken place. The article by Janet Ceglowski
reviews research on barriers to international

globalization, Sylvain Leduc explores the lack
of international diversification of investment

of 74 percent in the prices of goods in these

Globalization has many facets.
One of the most important is the enor-
mous increase in international trade.
Over the past 40 years, world exports
as a share of output have doubled to
almost 25 percent of world output.1
However, despite globalization and
the increasing share of output that is
exported and imported internationally,
economic evidence suggests that sig-
nificant barriers to international trade
still exist.2 We will summarize the lat-
est developments in the measurement
of international trade barriers, drawing
mainly from a recent comprehensive
survey on the subject by James Ander-
son and Eric van Wincoop. In their
lobalization has led to an enormous increase
in international trade. Over the past 40
years, world exports as a share of output have
doubled to almost 25 percent of world output.
However, despite this enormous increase, economic
evidence suggests that significant barriers to international
trade still exist. In this article, Edith Ostapik and Kei-Mu
Yi summarize the latest developments in the measurement
of international trade barriers.
survey, these authors report estimates
of the magnitudes of different catego-
ries of international trade costs. They
find that, on average, international
trade costs almost double the price of
goods in developed countries.3
The primary policy implication of
the existing research is that globaliza-
tion still has a long way to go, so that
there is still plenty of room for trade
to grow. Growth in trade will likely
occur primarily through technological
changes that reduce transportation or
communication costs or from long-
run policy choices, such as a national
currency or language. Reduction in
policy-related barriers, such as tariffs,
will also play a role.

5 marketing strategy and marketing performance does strategy affect performa...
This article surveys marketing management literature to find out the positive impact that a good market and marketing can have on marketing performance at the marketplace. The marketplace in this contest can be either a country or even a continent since the companies are multinational and also have diversified holdings which help them to spread their tentacles to every nook and cranny of the globe. Locally based companies are not left out since they all use marketing strategies to do their marketing. Companies or multinationals of U.S. and U.K. parentage will be used a lot. Does the literature attest to the positive impact of very good marketing strategies on a company’s marketing performance? This is going to be investigated to come out with the justify opinion. Coming out with a very good marketing strategy to pilot or direct a company’s marketing assault is not very easy. It is plainly herculean. Implementation, monitoring, controlling and evaluating marketing strategies are equally herculean. Top marketing management do not have it easy with formulating, managing, and evaluating marketing strategies. Marketing performance measurement is tackled in this piece. It is essential to point out that marketing is not the pressure of only those in marketing (pan–marketing). It is very general managerial with all corporate functional players all actively involved.

This document discusses globalization and internationalization strategies. It begins by defining globalization as the process by which geographic constraints on economic, social and cultural arrangements recede, increasing interdependence. Key factors that have boosted globalization are discussed, including governments privatizing/deregulating economic activities and advances in technology intensifying global connectedness. The implications for international companies are increased globalization of production and markets. Challenges of globalization like the financial crisis prompting calls for "de-globalization" through policies protecting local industries are also covered.

This document provides a summary of a World Bank policy research working paper on global value chains. The paper aims to provide a framework and tools to measure countries' performance in global value chains and provide guidance on how countries can join, maintain participation in, and move up global value chains. Global value chains have become an important source of opportunities for trade, competitiveness, and development. The paper analyzes what global value chains are, why they are important, and provides context on how production has increasingly fragmented across borders through various organizational models like outsourcing and offshoring.
Evaluating Firm's Readiness David Cariou
This document discusses evaluating a firm's readiness for internationalization. It proposes a new framework for assessing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to increase their chances of success in internationalization. The framework goes beyond traditional "go or no go" export diagnostic models, which are outdated given changes in international business. It considers a broader range of international operations for SMEs beyond just exporting. The proposed framework specifies an SME's preparedness and defines preliminary axes in terms of product-market combinations and internationalization modalities. The framework was developed through a literature review, expert panel, and validating its practical application with 54 Canadian SMEs entering international markets over 4 years.

The Impact of Corruption on Trade Cost
This paper analyzes the impact of corruption on trade costs using highly disaggregated US trade data at the 10-digit level. The results show corruption is significantly correlated with higher trade costs. Additionally, capital-intensive products are found to be more susceptible to higher trade costs through corruption than labor-intensive products. Regressions control for product, geographic, and institutional factors and address endogeneity. Across specifications, distance, weight, and corruption positively impact trade costs as expected.
Globalization and ib
Globalization refers to the changes in the world where we are moving away from self-contained countries and toward a more integrated world. Globalization of business is the change in a business from a company associated with a single country to one that operates in multiple countries.
International business
The document discusses several key aspects of international business:
1. International business involves commercial transactions between private companies and governments across political boundaries for profit and political reasons.
2. It refers to all business activities that involve cross-border trade of goods, services, and economic resources between nations.
3. Studying international business is important for understanding how to conduct business globally and make informed career and policy decisions.

Hey everyone and welcome to my presentation. In this presentation, I will compare and contrast Chicago’s general summary, census trends, occupation and employment statistics and Chicago’s Income summary to that of the US. After that, I will briefly recommend how Big D incorporated can penetrate into that market and become competitively profitable. Let’s get started.

General Summary: US vs Chicago
Leading Us Trends
Leading Chicago Trends
Understanding the educational backgrounds, race compositions, means of transport preferred in a region and the status of families in a potential market is crucial in determining whether to penetrate the market and how to do so in a way that a business is guaranteed to enjoy success. Using the US data as the base standard to inform what to expect in Chicago or how to approach Chicago ensures that the unknown can be measured against the known thus informing key marketing strategies (Tien and Ngoc, 2019) The above data for instance allows us to compare the highest level of education in Chicago against that of US in general and understand the target audience of our products better. While in the US the highest share of populants of 28.6% only has a high school certificate and 21.05% only have some college education with no degree, Chicago is made up of 44.19% college graduates and 33.99% of graduate degree holders. This is impressive because if these values reflect in the population’s earnings, Big D stands a great chance of encountering robust growth in this region. One shocking statistic from this data however is that unlike in the overall US population where 75.7% of people prefer to drive alone to work, only 39.5% of people in Chicago drive alone. This value demands that Big D further investigate the spending patterns of Chicago residents before penetrating the market.

law countries. Based on a sample of 1721 firms from twelve European countries, we
compare this relationship for the 2000-2009 period. The empirical results obtained
show a stronger ID-performance positive relationship in service firms than in industrial
ones. Those firms with a culture based on civil law systems (bank oriented financial
system) will have greater flexibility to counteract the negative relationship between ID
and performance, than those firms with culture based on common law systems (capital
market oriented system).
Introduction
Accessing foreign markets is becoming a more and more attractive option for firms.
International diversification (ID) is a stabilisation procedure for the firm’s sales and
also a way of reducing the risks derived from the reduction in demand on the domestic
market. Likewise, the presence of a firm on the global market entails greater derived
risks, mainly due to the greater uncertainty and commitment of resources entailed by this
action. It also represents a challenge to improve their competitiveness in their fight with
local firms (Lucas, 1993; Bowen & Wersema, 2005). The degree of internationalisation is
also contemplated a ...
INTERNATIONALISATION .pptx
The document discusses internationalization and the process by which organizations operate outside their home country. It provides reasons for why firms internationalize, such as saturated domestic markets or access to new resources. Benefits are also outlined, like reducing costs through economies of scale and gaining a wider customer base. However, the document notes internationalization faces challenges, including cultural differences that require customizing products for new markets and complying with varying tax regulations and political environments across countries. Overall, the document provides an overview of the concept of internationalization for businesses operating globally.
Globalization And Its Affect Upon Domestic Business Practices
The document discusses how globalization has affected domestic business practices. It outlines the four main international institutions that regulate global commerce: the World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and United Nations. The text argues that international business should be taught separately from domestic business for four key reasons: differences in cultures, more complex management problems, government intervention issues, and currency conversions. Globalization has increased competition for domestic companies from both domestic and international competitors. Firms must conduct market analysis and develop strategies to gain market share over others operating globally.

Abstract
During the last decades we have witnessed a large number of entrepreneurial
firms that reach the world market at a fast pace (”born global firms”). Our analysis
suggests that the ongoing globalization process indeed implies that born to be global
firms would be more prominent in the world economy due to the reduction of the
cost of exploiting good business ideas globally. However, our analysis also suggests
that entrepreneurial firms have incentive to sell their business to incumbents. Indeed
we show that ”born to be sold global firms” can be even more frequent as a result
of trade liberalization, the international deregulation of the market for corporate
control and the strengthening of international cartel policy.
1. Introduction
In the last decades have we have witnessed a large number of firms that become inter-
national leaders in a short time. Prominent examples are Google and Facebook which

have generated exports revenues of substantial amount at impressive speed. Moreover, we
observe inventions made by small entrepreneurs being acquired by incumbents which use
them to gain a strong competitive advantage in the world market. Example of this type
of process is Skype who first was acquired by Ebay and later by Microsoft. The success of
these so called ”born global firms” has spurred an interest in the determinants and welfare
effects of these types of firms. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the generation
of such knowledge.
The starting point of the paper is that entrepreneurial firms with a global potential
face considerable problems when trying to fully exploit the potential value of an inven-
tion or business idea internationally. Complementary assets such as distribution networks,
marketing channels, financial resources, manufacturing know-how and brand names — i.e.
assets typically held by large established firms - are often needed, and we observe a signif-
icant amount of inter-firm technology transfers, ranging from joint ventures and licensing
to outright acquisitions of innovations.1 Thus to understand the phenomena of born to
be global firms we need to understand how the economic environment affects the incen-
tive of business development for sale to incumbents relative business development for own
export.2

2 Previous Business Review articles have
questioned the extent to which globalization
has taken place. The article by Janet Ceglowski
reviews research on barriers to international
trade. Examining another dimension of
globalization, Sylvain Leduc explores the lack
of international diversification of investment
portfolios.
3 They estimate an overall average increase
of 74 percent in the prices of goods in these
countries.
Globalization has many facets.
One of the most important is the enor-
mous increase in international trade.
Over the past 40 years, world exports
as a share of output have doubled to
almost 25 percent of world output.1
However, despite globalization and
the increasing share of output that is
exported and imported internationally,
economic evidence suggests that sig-
nificant barriers to international trade
still exist.2 We will summarize the lat-
est developments in the measurement
of international trade barriers, drawing
mainly from a recent comprehensive
survey on the subject by James Ander-
son and Eric van Wincoop. In their
lobalization has led to an enormous increase
in international trade. Over the past 40
years, world exports as a share of output have
doubled to almost 25 percent of world output.
However, despite this enormous increase, economic
evidence suggests that significant barriers to international
trade still exist. In this article, Edith Ostapik and Kei-Mu
Yi summarize the latest developments in the measurement
of international trade barriers.
survey, these authors report estimates
of the magnitudes of different catego-
ries of international trade costs. They
find that, on average, international
trade costs almost double the price of
goods in developed countries.3
The primary policy implication of
the existing research is that globaliza-
tion still has a long way to go, so that
there is still plenty of room for trade
to grow. Growth in trade will likely
occur primarily through technological
changes that reduce transportation or
communication costs or from long-
run policy choices, such as a national
currency or language. Reduction in
policy-related barriers, such as tariffs,
will also play a role.

The core idea underlying the
benefits of international trade goes

5 marketing strategy and marketing performance does strategy affect performa...
This article surveys marketing management literature to find out the positive impact that a good market and marketing can have on marketing performance at the marketplace. The marketplace in this contest can be either a country or even a continent since the companies are multinational and also have diversified holdings which help them to spread their tentacles to every nook and cranny of the globe. Locally based companies are not left out since they all use marketing strategies to do their marketing. Companies or multinationals of U.S. and U.K. parentage will be used a lot. Does the literature attest to the positive impact of very good marketing strategies on a company’s marketing performance? This is going to be investigated to come out with the justify opinion. Coming out with a very good marketing strategy to pilot or direct a company’s marketing assault is not very easy. It is plainly herculean. Implementation, monitoring, controlling and evaluating marketing strategies are equally herculean. Top marketing management do not have it easy with formulating, managing, and evaluating marketing strategies. Marketing performance measurement is tackled in this piece. It is essential to point out that marketing is not the pressure of only those in marketing (pan–marketing). It is very general managerial with all corporate functional players all actively involved.
2. fundamentals of global strategy 2014 2 st
This document discusses globalization and internationalization strategies. It begins by defining globalization as the process by which geographic constraints on economic, social and cultural arrangements recede, increasing interdependence. Key factors that have boosted globalization are discussed, including governments privatizing/deregulating economic activities and advances in technology intensifying global connectedness. The implications for international companies are increased globalization of production and markets. Challenges of globalization like the financial crisis prompting calls for "de-globalization" through policies protecting local industries are also covered.

This document provides a summary of a World Bank policy research working paper on global value chains. The paper aims to provide a framework and tools to measure countries' performance in global value chains and provide guidance on how countries can join, maintain participation in, and move up global value chains. Global value chains have become an important source of opportunities for trade, competitiveness, and development. The paper analyzes what global value chains are, why they are important, and provides context on how production has increasingly fragmented across borders through various organizational models like outsourcing and offshoring.
Evaluating Firm's Readiness David Cariou
This document discusses evaluating a firm's readiness for internationalization. It proposes a new framework for assessing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to increase their chances of success in internationalization. The framework goes beyond traditional "go or no go" export diagnostic models, which are outdated given changes in international business. It considers a broader range of international operations for SMEs beyond just exporting. The proposed framework specifies an SME's preparedness and defines preliminary axes in terms of product-market combinations and internationalization modalities. The framework was developed through a literature review, expert panel, and validating its practical application with 54 Canadian SMEs entering international markets over 4 years.

The Impact of Corruption on Trade Cost
This paper analyzes the impact of corruption on trade costs using highly disaggregated US trade data at the 10-digit level. The results show corruption is significantly correlated with higher trade costs. Additionally, capital-intensive products are found to be more susceptible to higher trade costs through corruption than labor-intensive products. Regressions control for product, geographic, and institutional factors and address endogeneity. Across specifications, distance, weight, and corruption positively impact trade costs as expected.
Globalization and ib
Globalization refers to the changes in the world where we are moving away from self-contained countries and toward a more integrated world. Globalization of business is the change in a business from a company associated with a single country to one that operates in multiple countries.
International business
The document discusses several key aspects of international business:
1. International business involves commercial transactions between private companies and governments across political boundaries for profit and political reasons.
2. It refers to all business activities that involve cross-border trade of goods, services, and economic resources between nations.
3. Studying international business is important for understanding how to conduct business globally and make informed career and policy decisions.

Hey everyone and welcome to my presentation. In this presentation, I will compare and contrast Chicago’s general summary, census trends, occupation and employment statistics and Chicago’s Income summary to that of the US. After that, I will briefly recommend how Big D incorporated can penetrate into that market and become competitively profitable. Let’s get started.

General Summary: US vs Chicago
Leading Us Trends
Leading Chicago Trends
Understanding the educational backgrounds, race compositions, means of transport preferred in a region and the status of families in a potential market is crucial in determining whether to penetrate the market and how to do so in a way that a business is guaranteed to enjoy success. Using the US data as the base standard to inform what to expect in Chicago or how to approach Chicago ensures that the unknown can be measured against the known thus informing key marketing strategies (Tien and Ngoc, 2019) The above data for instance allows us to compare the highest level of education in Chicago against that of US in general and understand the target audience of our products better. While in the US the highest share of populants of 28.6% only has a high school certificate and 21.05% only have some college education with no degree, Chicago is made up of 44.19% college graduates and 33.99% of graduate degree holders. This is impressive because if these values reflect in the population’s earnings, Big D stands a great chance of encountering robust growth in this region. One shocking statistic from this data however is that unlike in the overall US population where 75.7% of people prefer to drive alone to work, only 39.5% of people in Chicago drive alone. This value demands that Big D further investigate the spending patterns of Chicago residents before penetrating the market.

Let’s take a look at the first graph. All compared trends grew in both the US and Chicago. The growth of the population in Chicago matching the overall growth in the US makes Chicago a potential market worthy of investment especially because of its promising growth rate. Most impressively, however, was that these three crucial areas grew even above US values further demonstra ...

A written reflection
For the written reflection, address Jane Doe's and respond to the following:
Articulate again your moral theory from week eight discussion (You can revise it if you wish). What two ethical theories best apply to it? Why those two?
week 8 discussion :’’The ethical philosophy chosen is utilitarianism. This philosophy is attributable to happiness if identified actions are right or harmful if the actions are considered to be wrong regardless of the prevailing conditions (Sen, 2019). It is meaningful to me since it is focused on contentment. Thus its moral obligation and importance is that it advocates for the satisfaction of the parties involved. The precedents of utilitarianism philosophy entail the following; that happiness of everyone counts uniformly, that actions are right if they result in pleasure otherwise wrong if they render unhappiness and that pleasure is the only thing that matters.
John Doe's involves a fiction scenario tailored at protecting the identity of witnesses in a case. Thus it is a slang name that informally represents the witnesses in a case to prevent them from manipulation by the defendant as their identity is rendered secretive (Smart, 2018). By application of the utilitarianism philosophy, a witness is considered to be happy (contented) if the identity is not revealed before the case for law during prosecution and hence we aspire to gain useful evidence. The morality of the theory revolves around its reliability as its only main obligation is to render witnesses pleasured. However, it might be termed immoral in situations where faithful information is required about every detail of the underlying case since no matter what; identity of the witnesses ought not to be revealed. Thus compromises its integrity.
Veil of ignorance constitutes the ethical reasoning whereby fair ruling is anticipated from a case by denying the parties involved any information that might bias them into suspecting who might benefit more from the ruling(Heen,2020). Thus in John Doe's case, when the identity of the witnesses is hidden, it is hard to identify possible relations of them with the plaintiff or defendant. This makes the judges seek justice independent of any information are sympathy to one of the parties at the expense of the other.’’
Apply to Jane Doe's case your personal moral philosophy as developed in week eight discussion and now. Use it to determine if what Jane Doe did was ethical or unethical per your own moral philosophy.
Consider if some of these examples are more grave instances of ethical transgressions than others. Explain.
Propose a course of social action and a solution by using the ethics of egoism, utilitarianism, the "veil of ignorance" method, deontological pr.

Service Quality and Patient-Centered
Care
L
eaders of the U.S. Depart -
ment of Health & Human
Services (2011) urge providers
to improve the overall quality of
health care by making it more
patient centered. Patient-centered
care (or person-centered care) refers
to the therapeutic relationship
between health care providers and
recipients of health care services,
with emphasis on meeting the
needs of individual patients. Al -
though the term has been used
widely in recent years, it remains a
poorly defined and conceptualized
phenomenon (Hobbs, 2009).
Patient-centered care is believed
to be holistic nursing care. It pro-
vides a mechanism for nurses to
engage patients as active partici-
pants in every aspect of their health
(Scott, 2010). Patient shadowing
and care flow mapping were used to
create a sense of empathy and
urgency among clinicians by clarify-
ing the patient and family experi-
ence. These two approaches, which
were meant to promote patient-cen-
tered care, can improve patient sat-
isfaction scores without increasing
costs (DiGioia, Lorenz, Greenhouse,
Bertoty, & Rocks, 2010). A better
under standing of attributes of
patient-centered care and areas for
improvement is needed in order to
develop nursing policies that in -
crease the use of this model in health
care settings.
The purpose of this discussion is
to clarify the concept of patient-cen-
tered care for consistency with the
common understanding about pa -
tient satisfaction and the quality of
care delivered from nurses to
patients. Attributes from a customer
service model, the Gap Model of
Service Quality, are used in a focus
on the perspective of the patient as
the driver and evaluator of service
quality. Relevant literature and the
Gap Model of Service Quality
(Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Leonard,
1985) are reviewed. Four gaps in
patient-centered care are identified,
with discussion of nursing implica-
tions.
Background and Brief
Literature Review
Patient-Centered Care
The Institute of Medicine (IOM,
2001a) and Epstein and Street (2011)
identified patient-centeredness as
one of the areas for improvement in
health care quality. The IOM (2001b)
defined patient-centeredness as
…health care that establishes a
partnership among practition-
ers, patients, and their families
(when appropriate) to ensure
that decisions respect patients’
wants, needs, and preferences
and that patients have the edu-
cation and support they require
to make decisions and partici-
pate in their own care… (p. 7)
Charmel and Frampton (2008)
defined patient-centered care as
…a healthcare setting in which
patients are encouraged to be
actively involved in their care,
with a physical environment

Think of how many risks come into play when you decide to conduct a simple project, such as painting your living room. The following are some examples of risks:
What type of paint will you use (and can you afford high-quality paint)?
Who will move that brand new, big screen TV?
Who is going to paint?
Do you have the time, money, and resources?
Have you ever considered any of this, or do you simply cover up as much things as you can and start painting?
Risks exist regardless of whether people acknowledge it or not. Depending on the complexity of the project, the number and type of risk multiplies. Everyone has their own solution to each risk, but when working with a group within an organization, fragmentation such as this becomes counterproductive and a major risk in the end.

What would happen is once by or near Wi-Fi their reservations will be saved and than will be sent to the hotel they would like to stay at, this will save a lot of time for not only them but the hotel as well. This will also save their spot until they have reached Wi-Fi, this will also be able to show what's available and what's not available when not on Wi-Fi.

Coronavirus triggers cancellations, closures and contingency planning across the country
With daily reports of the deadly coronavirus spreading (Links to an external site.) into communities across the country, schools (Links to an external site.), companies, religious organizations and local governments are grappling with whether to shut down facilities and cancel events or to proceed, cautiously, as planned.
Increasingly, organizations are opting to cancel large gatherings, encourage remote work or take other steps (Links to an external site.) reflecting an abundance of caution about the virus, according to interviews with officials in several states. Others are making contingency plans about more-significant steps they might take in the case of a wider outbreak.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (Links to an external site.) (D) said people should prepare for disruptions in their daily lives as a result of the novel coronavirus, which has killed nine people in the state.
“Folks should begin to think about avoiding large events and assemblies,” Inslee said Monday. “We are not making a request formally right now for events to be canceled, but people should be prepared for that possibility.”
While the virus has been deadliest in Washington state, it has spread across the United States, with more than a dozen states reporting infections. There have been several instances of people contracting the virus while inside the country.
The response effort so far has been fragmented, with conflicting messages about the level of threat and the need for significant lifestyle changes.
“The general rule is, use common sense,” said Health and Human Services Secret.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Supply chain management and globalization are two commonly highlig.docx
- 1. Supply chain management and globalization are two commonly highlighted terms in this course. In many ways, domestic supply chain management is not any different than global supply chain management, except for the larger area of operations. The biggest pros of going global are access to new markets and the potential for greater growth and revenue. Other pros of going global are access to technology, labor forces, better access to procurement sources, lower production costs, and the list goes on. The cons with going global are larger travel distances, monitoring logistical processes, different business practices, cultural differences, language differences, higher transportation costs, and customs documentation requirements (Coyle, Langley, Novack, & Gibson, 2017, p. 9). Globalization has also been a highly sensitive political debate among Americans. Arguments range from jobs leaving the U.S. to greater global brand recognition. Some would argue jobs are lost when firms offshore production, while others would argue that with offshoring comes lower prices and greater firm presence in new markets. Globalization is a very debatable subject, but I tend to believe that in capitalistic markets its necessary and will continue well into the future. So why do firms decide to globalize their supply chains? Simchi-Levi, Kaminsky, and Simchi-Levi (2008) identify four reasons for globalization that are known as global market forces, technological forces, global cost forces, and political and economic forces (p. 313). Global market forces are the pressures firms face when foreign competitors sell in their domestic market, plus the opportunities they gain by selling in their competitor’s market. Technological forces are the pressures firms face with going abroad to gain new access to technologies. Global cost forces are the profit driven pressures firms face when deciding where to source supply and production. Lastly, political and economic forces are the pressures firms face with the politics of moving abroad and the
