1. Your firm, Flyboy, Inc., is a successful U.S. manufacturer of aircraft. Flyboy would like to expand its market to Pamonia, a small, oil-rich kingdom that was once an Italian colony. The principal purchaser of aircraft in Pamonia is the government, although some private families have the resources to purchase the product. The same private families are, not coincidentally, also the nobility of the Pamonian kingdom. For a new entrant like Flyboy, breaking into the market without a local representative is not possible. You are also aware that local custom includes “grease payments” and lavish gifts to customers in Pamonia.
Prepare a paper critically analyzing the pros and cons of entering the Pamonian market. Explore the legal risks inherent in the proposed investment and advise how Flyboy might avoid them.
2. You have started a small high-tech company in New York.

You are running an informational Website. Customers must call your 800 number to place an order. A customer in Alaska is very unhappy with your product. Can he or she successfully sue you in Alaska?
You decide you want to be clear in all your future dealings, so you insert a forum selection clause in all of your contracts with your customers that stipulates arbitration in New York under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Would this be enforceable?
What if the forum selection clause stated that all disputes would be heard in Tibet?
What ramifications are there to changing your website and making it more interactive so that people can place orders there?
What if your competitor is using your trade secrets and your patents without your permission or payment? Would you be interested in arbitrating this dispute? Why?
What difference would it make if your competitor were a Dutch Company? And a Chinese Company?

The CEO has asked you to outline a comprehensive strategy to deal with these and other issues arising from customers, suppliers, groups of citizens and employees. Prepare a memo addressing major concerns and suggested actions.
3. Your firm designs, manufactures, and markets children’s toys for sale in the U.S. Almost 90% of your production is done in China. During the 1990s, U.S. relations with China improved. Even though there were many disagreements between the two countries, the United States granted normal trade status to China and supported China’s membership in the WTO in 2001. Your firm invested heavily in China during that time. You have developed close ties to Chinese suppliers and have come to depend greatly on inexpensive Chinese labor and the lower costs of doing business there.
You are now concerned about increasing political tension between China and the United States over a variety of issues: China’s s treatment of the Tibetan people, reports about the use of prison labor to manufacture goods for export, China’s population policies, and differences over relations with communist North Korea. The United States has also accused China of corporate and industrial espionage in the United States to obtain scientific, industrial, and trade secrets, and of hacking into corporate and government computer networks. There are also disagreements over China’s censorship of Internet search providers, and over the protection of U.S. intellectual property rights in China. The United States is also concerned with China’s tax policies, which are said to discriminate against imported goods, and also with China’s state subsidies to domestic industry. The U.S. accuses China of currency manipulations of the yuan, making Chinese goods unfairly cheap in foreign markets and imports into China artificially expensive. Most worrisome is the potential for conflict over Taiwan, with which the United States has had a mutual defense pact for 60 years. China claims Taiwan under its “One China” reunification policy, while accusing the United States of fostering “independence” there. Despite the issues, both countries recognize their deep economic reliance on each other. With that background, consider the following:
1. Describe the impact that a trade dispute between the U.S. and China would have on your firm.
2. Describe the impact on your firm if China were to lose its MFN trading status.
3. What strategic actions might you consider to reduce your firm’s exposure to political risk?
4. What are the current areas of agreement or disagreement between the United States and China, and how do you think they will affect future trade relations between the two countries?
5. The United States often links trade policy with a nation’s foreign policy. Do you agree with this? What do you think of U.S. trade policies toward China being linked to foreign policy issues?
6. Although both mainland China and Taiwan are “Chinese,” doing business in Taiwan differs greatly from doing business in China. Investigate and describe that difference. How do business opportunities differ on the mainland versus the island?
7. Explain the importance of sound country risk analysis in doing business abroad. What sources of information do you think you would use to evaluate your international business strategies in China?
8. Do you think it would be advantageous to visit China, and to visit your suppliers there? If so, what would you hope to accomplish in your visits?
Prepare a memo to the CEO addressing the above concerns.

Notable TV series that focus on workplace life include The Dropout, Severance, Yellowstone, Industry, Parks and Recreation, We Crashed, Younger, and Superstore. The Office was one of the best workplace TV series so you can use that one even though it is doing just reruns. You can probably think of a few more recent ones. In terms of movies, Office Space, The Social Network, and Jobs are some examples of popular movies that revolved around corporate life. For your initial post in the module, try to find a good example of a recent TV series or movie that you watched that you thought was a good example of any of the concepts from this module. Give a short synopsis of the story involved and how it reflected concepts from the background readings. If you can find a YouTube clip from this show or movie, share the link with your classmates. Also, discuss how realistic the TV show or movie was—did it seem similar to what you might find in real life?

You might be familiar with how the television show The Voice works. The judges do not see the singer until after they hear the singer and make the choice to accept the person onto their team. Do you think if all of the names were removed from application documents prior to presentation for candidate selection, and a set wage was assigned before a face-to-face interview was held, that it would help to reduce the gender disparity in wages, since the potential for gender identity is not disclosed prior to interview selection? Explain your answer.

 Week 10 Discussion COLLAPSEOverall Rating:
Job discrimination (Chapter 11, pages 401–433), is the topic for this week. We will explore areas such as disparity, affirmative action policies, bias wage systems, hostile work environments, sexual harassment, and many other job discrimination topics.
For this week’s discussion, think about the concept of comparable work for comparable pay. Most companies provide a job description that details the work involved for the positions, the expected experience and education needed to properly do the work, as well as the physical abilities needed to hold the positions. The applicant is aware of the requirements needed and makes the decision to submit an application, cover letter, and resume.
In this week’s discussion, you will provide your opinion on the hiring process and the determination of the wages to possibly avoid wage discrimination based on gender.
Respond to the following:

Briefly discuss what is meant to be a price setter or price taker, the strategies employed in both approaches, and a clear listing of the pros and cons associated with each price setting strategy. After weighing the pros and cons of each, which approach do you feel best meets the needs of the key stakeholders?

Discussion – Price Setters and Price Takers
It can be postulated that there are two scenarios when it comes to price setting by providers and provider organizations. Providers refer to those practitioners eligible to bill third-party payers for the services they provide to patients. Provider organizations are facilities where care is delivered to patients. The first scenario is that providers and provider organizations are considered “price takers,” in that the rates of reimbursement are set by the payers with little to no input from providers and organizations. The second scenario is that providers and organizations set their own prices and that payers are expected to pay these rates. These strategies will be explored in this week’s discussion.

Briefly discuss what is meant to be a price setter or price taker, the strategies employed in both approaches, and a clear listing of the pros and cons associated with each price setting strategy.

You will be expected to respond to the initial posting of at least one peer. In this response, you should share what you liked about the posting and why, and then what you believe could strengthen your peer‘s recommendation. 

Summarize the key product/service offered by your organization, including the role of the customer service department or direct service required to make a sale to the customer.

 
Using the same organization selected in Week 1 “EURO CAR” for the course, address the following:

Summarize the key product/service offered by your organization, including the role of the customer service department or direct service required to make a sale to the customer.
Create and defend a diagram or flowchart detailing the service delivery process. The chart should clearly identify each contact point (e.g. frontline employee, supervisor, delivery, etc.) before, during, and after the purchase. Your defense of the diagram should detail the role of each contact and assess why each role is critical to the entire service delivery process. (For assistance, review Service Delivery lecture tab and click here for a Service Delivery Infographic).
Analyze at least three possible contact point failures in the service delivery process for your organization. Why do you consider these to be possible contact point failures?
Justify recommendations to prevent or address the potential contact point failures and enhance service delivery in your organization. Be sure to consider how customers will benefit by your recommendations.
Defend a statement positioning the brand around the new/improved services.

Which enzymes important for glycosylation are discussed to play a role in tumorigenesis, particularly in breast cancer?

Topic: Glycoproteins, glycosylation & Cancer
This week you learned about the importance of glycoproteins,  glycosylation and the “sugar code” and its importance for many important  cellular processes, ranging from cell-cell interaction, immune function  and cancer. You heard that the extracellular carbohydrate coat, called  glycocalyx, plays a role in tumor formation and progression. As you work  on this assignment, consider that approximately half of all human  proteins known to date are glycosylated and the majority cancer  biomarkers are comprised of glycoproteins. About 270,000 new cases of  breast cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. per year and 6.9% of all cancer  related deaths will result from breast cancer. Also consider that  the human receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (HER2), one of the  proteins found mutated in many breast cancer patients, has multiple  sites of N-glycosylation important for its biological function.
This week I want you to read the following scientific review article:Scott  D.A. & Drake R.R. Glycosylation and its implication in breast  cancer. Exp. Rev. Proteomics. 2019 Aug.; 16(8): 665-680) and also do  some additional literature research on NCBI PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) on this week’s topic.Then discuss the following aspects with your class mates:

Is there scientific evidence showing a role of glycosylation in tumor development and/or metastasis?

Which sugar residues and “glyco-antigens” are discussed to play a role in tumorigenesis, particularly in breast cancer?
What are the diagnostic methods used to detect alterations in glycosylation patterns amongst normal cell and tumor cells?
What is meant by the term “sugar code”?
What are the challenges in the field of glyco-biology?

Be sure to include all references at the end of your initial posting  to receive full credit. These posts need to be a couple of paragraphs  and should not exceed a page (minimum of 250 words required for full  credit of original post).
