...that is founded in trust and understanding. We forge alliances only because of the things we get from it. But globalization has formed some semblance of unity among all us and the concerns of other nation that back then were opted to be resolved on their own are now an issue with other countries as well and all unite to propel themselves to a solution. Globalization is often used for its financial connotations. The influence it has however is not contained solely to the economy. Other international aspects such as social relations, political discourse and psychological manifestations are also a part of globalization. We have constantly heard the globalization pros and cons and the debate of these globalization pros and cons continue up until now. Here is a bit of a crash course of the pros and the cons of globalization. Pros of globalization are that more accessible market for anyone all over the world regardless of color, race, and social class. “Steady supply of cash to developing countries and even the well established ones. There is an increase in the production capabilities of companies and because of this they now have more freedom to customize their services and products fitted to the needs of the consumers. Political merging will be frequent and a more peaceful and orderly world order will be set”(Weidenbaum, 2005). Information and communication will be strengthened not just between two countries but also from all countries around the...

...Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd 1) External Environment: The Pharmaceutical Industry is dependent on political and legal conditions of general environment. In pharmaceutical industry we have two kind of medications which are generic or innovative. Innovative pharmaceutical industry success depends on the patent protection in the industry. For example, in United States innovative industry can have 10 to 12 years of patent protection life from the time that product is for sale in the market. Success of the generic pharmaceuticals which are bioequivalent to innovative pharmaceutical is also related to the political and legal environment of their market. If we look at pharmaceutical industry globally we can see that regulations toward generic pharmaceutical are different in different countries. For example, in United States they have the Hatch-Waxman ACT 1984including Abbreviated New Drug Application which reduce the drugs approval period and give the chance to Generic companies to have a 180 day exclusivity period if the generic company can submit an abbreviated new drug application before other generic competitors. In Europe regulations are different in each country for example, United Kingdom and the Netherlands are very similar to USA, and countries such as Germany and France are more physician-driven or branded generics market and the cost of sale for generic products are higher in these countries. Market for generic drugs in the rest of...

In 1950 the government of Iranian Prime Minister Mossadegh nationalized the AIPOC (Anglo-Iranian Persian Oil Company) owned and operated by Great Britain. The Eisenhower administration finally decided to take action owing to the perceived growing threat of communism in Iran and in August 1953 launched Operation Ajax to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected government. Many observers believe this set the stage 25 years later for the onset in November 1979 of the 1979-81 hostage crisis between Iran and the United States 7-16.

...The Pros and the Cons of Middle East Policies Name of Student Institution. The Pros and the Cons of Middle East Policies Background The international politics and relations are currently being dominated by the issue of the Middle East and the US relationship. It is, therefore, important to look at the factors that have resulted in a fragile relationship between the world superpower and the Middle East. For decades, the Middle East has been dealing with power struggles, Israeli-Palestinian border conflict, and the Arab-Israeli war. Some states in the region are pushing for constitutional monarchies or liberal democracies. My essay will examine the underlying animosity between these nations. It will also look at the pros and con of the American policies towards the Middle East and the ways it has succeeded. Hypothesis The USA is doing enough in its dealings with the Middle East. Analysis There has been an ongoing debate regarding the question of what the US’s foreign policies are towards the Middle East. Two main defense strategy objectives were resulting from the Pentagon’s Defense Planning Guidance between the year 1994 and 1999 (Reveron et al., 2014). This period was prior to President Bush Jr. Administration and has since then become more relevant. The primary objective was to deter another world war or an extreme enmity like the one portrayed between the former Soviet Union towards America. A new region strategy has therefore been put in place to prevent a hostile power from...

...COMMUNICATION AND THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY COLORADO TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY ONLINE JAMAULA T. SYKES MGM316-1401B-03 PROFESSOR R. PLANTE FEBRUARY 26, 2014 COMMUNICATION AND THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY One of the most important factors to remember it that not all countries have the same believes and cultures. This would be the case for expanding business to the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Mexico, and China. In order to whip crews in shape to effectively function in these countries, they must endure long hours, intense training, communication woes, and preparing for a life changing experience. * What would your students need to know in regards to high- and low-context language, language diversity, interaction, nonverbal communication, and so forth? Employees must realize that in terms of high/low context communication, there is little to no nonverbal communication. This can classified as disrespect in some countries. With high context communication, this is most often used in long term, established relationships with clients. Relationships are built slowly and are dependent upon trust and stability. Low context communication is more public and external. This is used for shorter communication and usually rule oriented. In low text, relationships are come and go. Beginning just as a quick as it ends. * What are some conversation taboos that they should be aware of? Some of the conversation taboos that employees should be aware of includes conversations tied to religion;...

...order to find cures for cancer, diabetes, wound healing, digestive and kidney disease to name a few. Stem Cell Research Legislation Introduction Currently in the United States, the history of embryonic stem cell research has been bitterly debated since shortly after the Supreme Court’s decision regarding abortion under Roe v. Wade back in 1973 where abortion was legalized. Since then the various administrations have banned the use of tax dollars for research on embryos, fetuses, and embryonic or fetal tissue, while permitting research in the private sector. This restriction has made most research regarding infertility and treatment, including In vitro fertilization, into the private sector or overseas in the United Kingdom, China and Israel just to name a few of the country’s leading the field in research. Executive Orders Executive Order 13435—Expanding Approved Stem Cell Lines in Ethically Responsible Ways was signed by President George W. Bush on June 27, 2007 under section 2 stated that the Director of Health and Human services, including the National...

...will be described and a comparison will be made to explain the pros and cons to their leadership styles. The use of Jung theory will help explain the interrelationship and how the personality and leadership styles might enhance or hinder their team performance in this case study.. The leadership style of Lieutenant Colonel Yaron I found the leadership style of Lieutenant Colonel Yaron would best be described as Participative Style. The traits of this style are: team member ideas are equal with the leader, everyone’s input is considered, leader is team facilitator who frequently accepts the team’s ideas over his/her own (http://www.leadership-with-you.com/leadership-traits.htm). Yaron displays this behavior during the process of assembling his battalion. Three leadership actions and behaviors for Yaron was first his involvement with the company commanders and platoon commander to identify individuals who were not suitable for the mission. Secondly, Yaron worked with his commanders focusing on the routine operations required to prepare the new battalions. Third, Yaron solicits the help of his soldiers, asking them to describe the most serious event that he thought might take place during the evacuation. The pro to each of these behaviors are that it creates an open line of communication from the top to the bottom of the operation. This behavior empowers not only Yaron but the soldiers that follow his command. The con to this behavior is that Yaron did not...

...Business Proposal: Oral-B Pro-Health Kristen L. Pinkney ECO/561 May 5, 2014 Seyed Baladi Business Proposal for Oral-B Pro-Health Toothpaste The launch of the Oral-B Pro-Health brand in India has recently hit the toothpaste market announced by Proctor and Gamble. The toothpaste industry is a prime example of a monopolistic competitive market structure. A monopolistic competitive market structure can be characterized by a large number of buyers and sellers; each seller having a certain degree of monopoly power. However, although it is monopolistic competitive market, it also holds a mix of perfect competition as well. Characteristics of a monopolistically competitive market include that the firms sell products which are similar in characteristics. For example, Oral-B, Pro Health sells all dental products but none are exactly the same. This method is none as product differentiation. Oral-B Pro-Health products should be relatively elastic. Research has shown that if products are sold in the range of $5.50 to $6.50, a monopolistically competitive firm can sell up to 10 units of output however the quantity demand will drop to zero if the price goes higher than $6.50. Monopolistically competitive market products are generally price elastic. Unless the product is highly differentiated, a slight increase in price will lead to a fall in the demand of that product because an increase in price makes the consumers to a different brand, more or less similar to the current...

...the openness to express opinions and feedback, Maureen sent a memo directly to the titanium extrusion sales representatives. In the memo, she simply gave a rationale for making the change. In response, a District Sales Manager (DSM) called Maureen to ask for a more detailed explanation for the change due to its arbitrary nature. Therefore, Maureen presented her findings to the DSMs in a yearly sales meeting in the presence of the VP of Marketing. CAUSES * Lack of empowerment from authority: Although Maureen’s plan obtained approval from her boss, Hugh Salk, there was never a statement from the VP of Sales to his subordinates (district sales managers and sales representatives) supporting the proposal. As seen in Exhibit 2, Lawrence Israel, the VP of Sales has direct power over DSMs....

...Protecting American Borders At the beginning of this century, a Jewish immigrant from England named Israel Zangwill authored a play whose story line has long been forgotten, but whose central theme has not. His play was entitled "The Melting Pot" and its message still holds a tremendous power on the national imagination – “the promise that all immigrants can be transformed into Americans, a new alloy forged in a crucible of democracy, freedom and civic responsibility” (Booth, A1). “Today, the United States is experiencing its second great wave of immigration, a movement of people that has profound implications for a society that by tradition pays homage to its immigrant roots at the same time it confronts complex and deeply ingrained ethnic and racial divisions” (Booth A1). Whether or not America continues to be the great melting pot or the land of opportunity remains to be seen. Clearly implied in Zangwill’s play is the notion is that America will always be an inviting place to all, where dreams can be realized and opportunities abound. In support of this notion that America has traditionally been viewed as a land of opportunity, some citizens believe that existing border restrictions are too firm. In contrast, due to increased tension in Mexico, many politicians feel that America must tighten its already secure borders to prevent illegal immigration. Although both parties differ, United States borders must be protected to maintain the integrity of the country. Supporters...

...I am working on four or five major themes, but have found amazing connections between them. Four areas of immediate concern, in reverse order, are Osama Bin Laden, the Israeli Mossad, the CIA, the Holocaust. A fifth is the racism in the US judicial system, going back to the Civil war and to the foundation of the US. As a backdrop to all of this is work I have done using Joseph Campbell's series on Mythology with Bill Moyers, specifically, the Isis/Horus/Osiris myth predating the Mary/Jesus/God myth. Intertwined with this is Nietzsche's Anti-Christ, a work which I wish you had taught when you had the chance at WVSC. Many books have led me to many conclusions that you may or may not be aware of. The one you wanted the title of the last time we talked seriously is: Was the CIA involved in the JFK assassination? by Mark Lane. It has the info about how the CIA tried to kill Fidel Castro that you referred to once in class, except it was his wife, not a 16 year old, that was going to poison him. The CIA had told her he was cheating on her. Mark Lane is an attorney who managed Kennedy's New York campaign in 1960 when he was running for President. He is still alive in Virginia, in Charlottesville. You can find his address with 411locate.com. Amazingly, it turns out that the US hired 1000s of SS/Gestapo after the World War to spy in the USSR. Allen Dulles was responsible and the Vatican helped smuggle these Nazis into the US, saying that they were...
