21. Valuation of Wal- Marts International Business In addition to all of its stores in the United States, Wal- Mart has 13 stores in Argentina, 302 stores in Brazil, 289 stores in Canada, 73 stores in China, 889 stores in Mexico, and 335 stores in the United Kingdom. Overall, it has 2,750 stores in foreign countries. Consider the value of Wal- Mart as being composed of two parts, a U. S. part ( due to business in the United States) and a non- U. S. part ( due to business in other countries). Explain how to determine the present value ( in dollars) of the non- U. S. part assuming that you had access to all the details of Wal- Mart businesses outside the United States.
22. Impact of International Business on Cash Flows and Risk Nantucket Travel Agency specializes in tours for American tourists. Until recently, all of its business was in the United States. It just established a subsidiary in Athens, Greece, which provides tour services in the Greek islands for American tourists. It rented a shop near the port of Athens. It also hired residents of Athens who could speak English and provide tours of the Greek islands. The subsidiarys main costs are rent and salaries for its employees and the lease of a few large boats in Athens that it uses for tours. American tourists pay for the entire tour in dollars at Nantuckets main U. S. office before they depart for Greece. a. Explain why Nantucket may be able to effectively capitalize on international opportunities such as the Greek island tours. b. Nantucket is privately owned by owners who reside in the United States and work in the main office. Explain possible agency problems associated with the creation of a subsidiary in Athens, Greece. How can Nantucket attempt to reduce these agency costs? Greeces cost of labor and rent are relatively low. Explain why this information is relevant to Nantuckets decision to establish a tour business in Greece. d. Explain how the cash flow situation of the Greek tour business exposes Nantucket to exchange rate risk. Is Nantucket favorably or unfavorably affected when the euro ( Greeces currency) appreciates against the dollar? Explain. e. Nantucket plans to finance its Greek tour business. Its subsidiary could obtain loans in euros from a bank in Greece to cover its rent, and its main office could pay off the loans over time. Alternatively, its main office could borrow dollars and would periodically con-vert dollars to euros to pay the expenses in Greece. Does either type of loan reduce the exposure of Nan-tucket to exchange rate risk? Explain. f. Explain how the Greek island tour business could expose Nantucket to country risk.
27. Exposure of MNCs to Exchange Rate Movements Arlington Co. expects to receive 10 million euros in each of the next 10 years. It will need to obtain 2 million Mexican pesos in each of the next 10 years. The euro exchange rate is presently valued at $ 1.38 and is expected to depreciate by 2 percent each year over time. The peso is valued at $. 13 and is expected to depreciate by 2 percent each year over time. Review the valuation equation for an MNC. Do you think that the exchange rate movements will have a favorable or unfavorable effect on the MNC?

You work for an international construction company that has been contracted to build the tallest skyscraper in the world in Rio De Janeiro. The financing is coming from Dubai, the materials are coming from China, the engineering and technology are coming from Germany, and the labor will be hired locally with management from the United States. You invite all of the players to the headquarters in the United States for a big meeting to explain the project and get to know one another. The people seem to be staying with their own groups and not mingling.
What is the cultural phenomenon here?
How do you explain the lack of intercultural communication?
What do you know about these cultures-specifically their economic, political, educational, and social systems-that could help you in getting them together?
What are some of the contrasting cultural values of these countries?
You are concerned about some of the language issues as you start the meeting, particularly the fact that the United States is a low-context country, and some of the countries present are high-context countries. Furthermore, you only speak English, and you do not have an interpreter present.
How will this affect the presentation?
What are some of the issues you should be concerned about regarding verbal and nonverbal language for this group?
What strategy would you use to begin to have everyone develop a relationship with each other that will help ease future negotiations, development, and implementation?

Working with organizations to improve the interactions of members and increase productivity through collaborative behavior is an essential role of the organization development human resources specialist. You will need to pick an organization to use for this project. The organization you choose may be your current employer, or alternatively, an organization in which you volunteer or one about which you can easily find information through the school library, the Internet, or other sources.
Research and address the elements of organizational effectiveness that will improve interactions in a presentation for senior leaders:
Explain the concept of organizational effectiveness, as it relates to the interactions of members.
Describe methods used to assess the behaviors and attitudes of organizational members, and apply 1 model in an analysis of your organization.
Analyze methods used to improve the behavior and attitudes of organizational members.
Propose processes to build teams and manage their different stages of development.
Evaluate methods of managing conflict and change within the organization.
All I need is a simple outline for both based on the information given.
You provide a lecture to the working group regarding the importance of security education, awareness, and training due to the oft-quoted security maxim that users/humans are the weakest link in the security chain. While making users aware of security risks and training them how to protect company assets will reduce risk, it is important to put technical controls in place to protect the operating systems and applications that employees use every day. Discuss the importance of hardening the PCS client workstations and servers.

Discuss the importance of hardening the PCS client workstations and servers. Make recommendations for operating system hardening options and describe how these are related to the concept of system-specific policies discussed earlier in the course. One of the working group members blurts out that antivirus protection is a waste of computing resources and patching applications takes too much time. Be sure to address these two concepts in your initial thread. Include at least one research reference and associated in-text citation using APA standards. In your replies to your peers further discuss the importance of software security.

Effectively plan, design, develop, and test an original program of your choosing. This program is your choice and it can be as complex as you wish. The goal is to start with an idea for your program and then step through the process of most phases of the development lifecycle to turn your idea into an actual program. This includes planning out the algorithm using pseudocode, coding your program using everything you learned from Units 1-3, and finally, testing and debugging your program to make sure it fulfills your intended purpose. You will fill out a journal (template link below) which has five sections that correspond to the five steps you will complete for your final project.
