...Case study 2-Charles Martin in Uganda 1) Describe Ugandan cultural attributes that might affect operations of a foreign company operating there? Uganda is a country of lacking infrastructure and lots of bureaucratic hoops to jump through. Governmental and Political corruption make it hard to do business without handing out bribes. The native language of Swahili, and few speak English. The many religions of Uganda also make foreign company’s respect them in order to avoid discrimination in the workplace. 2) Would you describe Green’s and Martin’s attitudes as being ethnocentric, polycentric, or geocentric? What factors do you think have influenced their attitudes? HG as an American company is secular by nature, but its activities retain Christian values. Green is a high level manager and his attitude was geocentric, choosing to associate with other Americans and lived in the upper middle class neighborhoods. Martin on the other hand had a more polycentric attitude, taking in all of Uganda’s offerings and culture…which helped in doing business in Uganda. 3) Who was right, Green or Martin, about the controversial actions Martin took in the Ugandan operation? What might have been the results if he had not taken those actions? Martin was right about the actions he took. He was hired because of his expertise in African studies, as well as international business. Martin completed the operation, and probably made the Ugandan people see HG in a good way. If Martin did things by...

...3/4/2014 Chevrolet Impala Lighting/Electrical Problems - Car Forums at Edmunds.com Well its almost a month ago that I started having problems with all the audio in my 2001 LS. As I described in my original post, the audio to the radio, chimes when door is opened with key in iginition, onstar audio, and traction control chime when turned off went intermittent, and then dead, then distorted, then back to normal, then back to dead. My warranty ended on Feb 10,2001 but I had Chevy look into this issue on Feb 2, 2001 where they replaced the BCM. All was well for 13 days when the problem resurfaced. I took it back to Chevy, and of course when they had the car, all worked fine. They checked for all grounds, wire conditions, etc and found nothing wrong. Several days there after while driving and listening to the Cd player, the audio just went dead. At first I thought that I might be receiving a incoming call on my Onstar since the stereo will automatically mute so I could take the call, but there was no call coming in. The problem resurfaced again. I immediately tried turning off the traction control to see if I could hear the four chimes that would remind the driver that the traction control system is off, but no chimes, no radio, no onstar, no audio period. The following day I drove right into Chevy and told them that this car is staying here until this issue is resolved and fixed and since my warranty had exprired, they agreed that although the warranty is expired, the car is...

...Megan Kelly Sociology Week 4 assignment 9/6/12 Western female thought through the centuries has identified the relationship between patriarchy and gender as crucial to the women¡¦s subordinate position. For two hundred years, patriarchy precluded women from having a legal or political identity and the legislation and attitudes supporting this provided the model for slavery. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries suffrage campaigners succeeded in securing some legal and political rights for women in the UK. By the middle of the 20th century, the emphasis had shifted from suffrage to social and economic equality in the public and private sphere and the women¡¦s movement that sprung up during the 1960s began to argue that women were oppressed by patriarchal structures. Equal status for women of all races, classes, sexualities and abilities - in the 21st century these feminist claims for equality are generally accepted as reasonable principles in western society; yet the contradiction between this principle of equality and the demonstrable inequalities between the sexes that still exist exposes the continuing dominance of male privilege and values throughout society (patriarchy). This essay seeks to move beyond the irrepressible evidence for gender inequality and the division of labour. Rather, it poses the question of gender inequality as it manifests itself as an effect of patriarchy drawing from a theoretical body of work which has been developed so recently that it...

...Assignment #1 - due March 7, 2015 From the Demand Shaping with Supply in Mind please answer the following questions: 1. What are the three actions Supply Chain Managers can take to ensure that supply and demand are aligned when building the demand plan? A. Aligning of goals and incentives across functions and evaluated based on their effect on profitability and not total costs: Pricing- manufactures can use buy-back, revenue sharing; altering sales force; incentive from sell-in to sell-through (ie. to the end customer (sell through) and not to the retailer (sell in). B. Improving information accuracy: (i) sharing point of sales data; (ii) implementation and designing single stage control of replenishment (eliminates multiple forecasts). C. Improving Operation performance - reducing lead time, reducing inventory, rationing base on past sales and sharing information to limit Gaming; eliminate promotions and charge an Every Day Low Price - removes forward buying by retailers and results in orders that match customer demand. 2. How can a Supply Chain Manager actively be engaged with sales and marketing in shaping demand? two scenarios: If there is an excess of materials and components, under-utilized plants, or a surplus of finished good inventories, supply chain can work with sales and marketing to develop programs aimed at correcting these excess supply situations which might result in significant inventory obsolescence and...

...A. INTRODUCCIÓN CAPÍTULO A medida que el lector se dispone a iniciar sus estudios probablemente se pregunte: ¿por qué estudiar economía? En realidad, la gente lo hace por razones muy diversas. Muchos esperan ganar dinero. Algunos se preocupan porque se les considerará analfabetos si no pueden comprender las leyes de oferta y demanda. Otros se interesan en saber cómo los ordenadores y la revolución informática están moldeando nuestra sociedad o por qué la desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso en Estados Unidos se ha incrementado tanto en los últimos años. Por quién doblan las campanas Todas estas razones, y muchas otras, tienen sentido. Aun así, como todos nos hemos dado cuenta, existe una razón muy importante para aprender las lecciones básicas de la economía: toda nuestra vida —desde la cuna hasta la tumba y más allá— nos enfrentaremos con las verdades brutales de la economía. Como votantes, tomaremos decisiones sobre cuestiones que no se pueden comprender si no se han dominado los fundamentos de esta disciplina. Si no estudiamos economía, no podremos estar plenamente informados sobre el comercio internacional, el impacto económico de Internet o la disyuntiva entre inflación y desempleo. Elegir la profesión a la que vamos a dedicarnos toda nuestra vida constituye la decisión económica más importante que haremos. Nuestro futuro depende no solamente de nuestras habilidades, sino también de la manera en que fuerzas económicas fuera de nuestro control afectan nuestros salarios...

...Resumen: La Odisea, Homero Elaborado por: Mariela Mata. La Odisea es un poema épico griego que data del año 700 A.C. y se le atribuye a Homero. El poema, que se cree fue transmitido, en primera instancia, de forma oral, consta de 24 cantos y fue escrito usando una métrica llamada hexámetro dactílico, es decir, cada línea de la Odisea original estaba formada por seis unidades o pies. Argumento Odiseo es un héroe griego y el Rey de Ítaca, quién, después de pelear la guerra con Troya, le toma diez años regresar a casa. Penélope es su esposa y Telémaco su hijo. La Odisea cuenta la historia de Odiseo, uno de los héroes griegos más famosos, y su travesía de diez años a casa al final de la Guerra con Troya. En su camino se topa con hechiceras, cíclopes, dioses furiosos, entre otros. En casa, en Ítaca, su esposa, Penélope, y su hijo, Telémaco, son acechados por varios nobles y solteros codiciosos que creen que Odiseo está muerto y están buscando su fortuna. Eventualmente Odiseo regresa a casa y los mata a todos. La travesía del héroe abarca desde Troya, en Asia, menor pasando por las islas del Mar Mediterráneo (cerca de Italia) y de regreso a Ítaca, Grecia. Resumen de los Cantos Canto I: Homero comienza la Odisea invocando a la Musa para que cuente lo sucedido a Odiseo después de destruir Troya. En una asamblea de los dioses griegos, Atenea aboga por la vuelta del héroe a su hogar, quien lleva muchos años en la isla de la ninfa Calipso. La misma Atenea, tomando la figura de Mentes,...
