...Australia and New Zealand: Doing business with Indonesia Questions 1. Using this case and the cultural dimensions explored in this chapter, discuss some of the ways in which citizens of Australia and New Zealand are members of cultures very different from any other in Asia. Although Australia and New Zealand are very close and geographically a part of Asia they have many differences that separate them from most of Asia. For example in Indonesia it is a higher priority to develop a long-term relationship to produce a profit than it is in Australia or New Zealand. How first contacts are made, how deals are closed, and how time is managed are just a few of the differences between Australia, New Zealand, and the majority of Asia. By analyzing Hofstede’s four value dimensions of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, and masculinity we can understand just how different these two countries are from Asia. 2. In what respects is the Indonesian archipelago unique in Asia? Indonesia is unique in several ways. One example is that Indonesia is continues to open up its markets to world enterprise while the majority of Asia is pulling back. There is a great imbalance of social power in Indonesia and it is the world’s fourth most populous country. Indonesia has very strong nationalistic ties and feelings throughout the country. 3. What characteristics of Indonesian workplaces are referred to in this profile? Some characteristics include sensitivity to the employee...

...analytic Marxism, and sectoral theory. Historical institutionalism is discussed on the basis of the path-breaking work of Polanyi, and the comparative studies of Schoenfield, Katzenstein, and Gourevitch, who focus, respectively, on the changing balance of public and private power, variants of corporatism, and state autonomy in capitalist societies. Finally, Downs’ economic theory of democracy, the rival views of collective action by Olson, and Hirschman, and North’s work on the relationship between institutional change and economic performance introduce the economic approaches to politics.

...Candela Corporation XXXXXX XXXXXX ACC/230 February 2, 2014 Dr. Sergio Perez Candela Corporation “Candela Corporation is a pioneer in the development and commercialization of advanced aesthetic laser systems that allow physicians and personal care practitioners to treat a wide variety of cosmetic and medical conditions” (Fraser & Ormiston, 2007, p. 146). Candela has been in business for more than 34 years. In the beginning, they were developing and enhancing laser technology applications. In the mid-1980s, they began focusing more on developing laser technology for medical applications. Since the early 1990s they have focused on laser technology for the aesthetic and cosmetic industry (Fraser & Ormiston, 2007, p. 146). Every corporation is required to prepare four financial statements every year; the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of stockholders’ equity, and the statement of cash flows. Each financial statement contains certain information regarding the financial position of the corporation. The balance sheet lists the assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity on a specific date. It shows the financial condition of the corporation by showing what the corporation owns and what it owes to outside creditors and its stockholders. The income statement provides the revenues, expenses, and net income for an accounting period, showing the operating performance of the corporation for that period. The statement of stockholders’ equity lists the...

...Australia and New Zealand are members of cultures very different from any other in Asia. There are many differences between New Zealand and Australia, and Asia. Even though New Zealand and Australia are neighbors to Asia they hold very different cultural values. For example, in the Indonesian culture, it’s important to build and maintain long-term relationships to be successful and to produce a profit. In contrast, New Zealand and Australia rely on shared expectation such as how first contacts are made, how deals are closed, and how time should be managed. Another major difference is how business situations are handled. For example, mid-level Indonesian managers may attempt to resolve an issue on their own instead of being the “bearer of bad news” to the boss because they feel that bringing bad news implicates the bearer. In contrast, a Western boss would want their employees to tell them any bad news that they should be informed of because issues that are left unresolved could lead to inefficiency and lose of profits. 2. In what respects is the Indonesian archipelago unique in Asia? Indonesia’s archipelago is unique to Asia in terms of extent and diversity. It has 17,000 islands which span around 3,200 miles eastward from Sabang in northern Sumatra to Merauke in Irian Jaya. The eight major islands in this chain include of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes) and Irian Jaya (the western half of Papua New Guinea).

...in some ways is still around even today. When we hire a maid, butler, or a chauffeur in some ways is still slavery. They have to work for us for a certain amount of money, and cook, clean raise our kids, and do the grocery shopping. So really slavery isn’t abolished. Slavery in America began when the first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, to aid in the production of such lucrative crops as tobacco. Slavery was practiced throughout the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries, and African-American slaves helped build the economic foundations of the new nation. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 solidified the central importance of slavery to the South's economy. By the mid-19th century, America's westward expansion, along with a growing abolition movement in the North, would provoke a great debate over slavery that would tear the nation apart in the bloody American Civil War (1861-65). Though the Union victory freed the nation's 4 million slaves, the legacy of slavery continued to influence American history, from the tumultuous years of Reconstruction (1865-77) to the civil rights movement that emerged in the 1960s, a century after emancipation. The old slave owners used to use their Christianity as a way to justify the way they treated their slaves saying "god told them to do the things they did". Society views slavery as wrong, now that it is illegal. Some people in the southern states though, still don’t...

...it takes to get the jobs done. Having that strong work ethic in our economy has certainly had a positive effect within the construction industry. When that workforce leaves it is interesting to think about what that might do for our economy when the gen-x generation takes over. The gen-x generation grew up as latchkey kids which pushed this generation into an independent streak. This generation is very family motivated and are the highest educated generation of our nation’s history. They are inspired by education, which leads to the motivation factors for using their education credit as an opportunity to their skill and develop professionally. Gen-x came into the job market at a time when it wasn’t all that receptive back in the early to mid-90’s when there was a recession and manufacturing in this country pretty much left. This was when we started seeing the beginnings of outsourcing and other industries. This is when the independent minded, degree holding gen-x generation was ready to get to work, but there was very many job opportunists for them. This was the start of the dot boom when most Gen-x people turned away from construction and focused more on the technical industry or own their own opportunities. This is where backfilling the baby boomers becomes a problem because this generation is already small and most of them were lost to entrepreneurial pursuits as it will be a challenge to try to bring those people back to the construction work force. The third generation is...

...Case study (2) Agricultural Subsidies and Development For decades the rich countries of the developed world have lavished subsidies on their farmers, typically guaranteeing them a minimum price for the products they produce. The aim has been to protect farmers in the developed world from the potentially devastating effects of low commodity prices. Although they are small in numbers, farmers tend to be politically active, and winning their support is important for many politicians. The politicians often claim that their motive is to preserve a historic rural lifestyle, and they see subsidies as a way of achieving that goal. This logic has resulted in financial support estimated to exceed $300 billion a year for farmers in rich nations. The European Union, for example, has set a minimum price for butter of 3,282 euros per ton. If the world price for butter falls below that amount, the EU will make up the difference to farmers in the form of a direct payment or subsidy. In total, EU dairy farmers receive roughly $15 billion a year in subsidies to produce milk and butter, or about $2 a day for every cow in the EU—a figure that is more than the daily income of half the world’s population. According to the OECD, overall EU farmers receive approximately $134 billion a year in subsidies. The EU is not alone in this practice. In the United States, a wide range of crop and dairy farmers receive subsidies. Typical is the guarantee that U.S. cotton farmers will receive at least $0.70 for...

...Question 1: Forecasting (9 marks) Each Friday, Smith Machine Parts (SMP) LTD has to forecast the next week’s demand for brackets #357, #358 and #359. For many years, this has been done reasonably well by Joe Smith, who recently retired. When asked how he made his forecasts, Joe said (between puffs on his corn cob pipe), “Well, I looks at the bubbles on me beer, and I rubs me lucky rabbit foot, and the forecast comes to me maid.” SMP has asked three of its analysts to propose scientific forecasting systems to replace old Joe. The forecasters and the proposed methods are as follows: A. Allen: three-week moving average B. Black: exponential smoothing with ( = 0.2 C. Clark: simple linear regression using the previous 6 weeks of data Each of the three forecasters has been assigned one bracket. The demand for the past six weeks (in thousands of brackets) is given below, as well as the forecasts obtained with the three suggested methods: |Bracket #357 (three-week moving average): | |Bracket #358 (exp. smoothing with ( = 0.2): | |Week # |Demand |Forecast | |Week # |Demand |Forecast | | | | | | | | | |1 | |- | |1 ...
