This document provides a framework for digital planning and business strategy. It outlines a process for companies to plan digital strategies and tactics periodically. The framework involves gathering internal and external inputs, determining organizational direction, and developing functional strategies. Inputs come from analyzing the competitive landscape, market conditions, customer data, and organizational metrics. Management provides strategic direction and oversight. Functional teams then create specific, measurable strategies and roadmaps aligned with corporate goals.
Demand management involves understanding customer needs, planning products and services, and fulfilling demands across a business and its partners. Effective demand management relies on demand forecasting to predict future needs and inform resource planning. Forecasting considers factors like historical data, demand variability, and required accuracy.

This document discusses aggregate production planning (APP) and related concepts. It defines APP as intermediate term planning to match supply and demand in a cost effective manner. The document outlines the APP process, including determining demand and capacity, developing alternative plans, and selecting the optimal plan. It also discusses how APP relates to master production scheduling (MPS) and materials requirements planning (MRP). MPS translates the aggregate plan into a product-level schedule, while MRP determines material needs based on the MPS and bills of materials.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
