For example, she knew that the life cycles of her company’s products were getting shorter and shorter. Second, Emily knew very well that while not all supplier evaluation and selection decisions originated during the development of new products, many of the critical selection decisions were the result of new product needs. Other point that Emily was very interesting is analyze to reduce the time it takes to evaluate and select suppliers by 30 percent, 40 percent, or even 50 percent. Questions: 1.

...foreign direct investment (FDI). In deciding what to produce, the multinational enterprise (MNE) must decide whether to diversify or to concentration on its main line of business. This paper offers insights into influences on this choice, and identifies a number of conditions under which diversification is more likely to be chosen. Factors affecting the foreign entry mode decision are also analyzed. The international business literature has generally treated these strategic choices as independent. This paper introduces a more realistic selection model, in which the diversification choice and the entry mode choice are made sequentially and are therefore related. The model is tested using a data set of FDI into the United Kingdom by MNEs in engineering and related industries. The analysis indicates a strong relationship between the diversification choice and the entry mode decision. In virtually all cases, the statistical significance of the selection model is higher than that of the independent model, indicating an improvement over previous research. Overall, the choice of a diversification strategy has a significant positive effect on the probability of greenfield entry. The paper also identifies a number of...

...Discuss how the employee selection methods at Outback Steakhouse help the organization achieve a competitive advantage: Since people are the competitive advantage to an organization’s success, it is important to select the right candidate for the job based on the needs of each individual business. Outback Steakhouse has incorporated a precise selection process for hourly and management workers that will help hire and retain people to effectively run their organization. This selection process helps the organization achieve a competitive advantage because it allows Outback Steakhouse to recruit the applicant, assess their qualifications, then select the one(s) most qualified based on their business objectives. Outback Steakhouse tries to choose workers who are willing to conform to the culture, vision, values and beliefs of Outback Steakhouse. It also allows them to employ people that understand and are committed to the value of teamwork, accountability, kindness, and individual responsibility. I think the validating (test) potential new hires against existing Outbackers who have been successful in the company is a strategic way to find out if a person is a good fit and that along with the series of test that are given makes Outback Steakhouse a step above the average restaurant when it comes to the selection process of hourly and management workers. By capitalizing on the strength of their employees, Outback Steakhouse not only keeps their turnover low, they have gained...
