Based on THE COUNTRY ( JAPAN) you have analyzed for your global business enterprise , as well as the product (or service) offerings of the enterprise (the specific product or service offerings are at the discretion of yourself), research information related to the following areas:

1. STRATEGIC PLANNING
   Develop strategic objectives that communicate major goals related to:

   1. product (or service) offerings,

   2. target market and customer benefits,

   3. financial aims (market share, return on investment),

   4. employee satisfaction, and

   5. social contributions.

   (Strategic goals are commonly stated in a manner that can be measured objectively, such as “to provide households with clean drinking water at a moderate price.”)

2. ENTRY MODES
   Analyze different global business entry modes that a company might select when planning international business activities. Compare the benefits, costs,

and risks associated with using licensing, joint venture, wholly-owned subsidiaries, etc. (The product or service, as well as the economic, social- cultural, and political-legal environment of the country, will influence anorganization’s entry mode.)

3. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
   Discuss the extent to which the organization will use centralization and decentralization. (Centralized organizations tend to offer standardized products or services with decisions made in upper levels of the organization. In contrast, decentralized organizations usually involve products or services that need to be adapted to various geographic, economic, social-cultural, and political-legal influences.)

4. STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
   Identify local companies of the country or international companies operating in the country that could be a business partner. These strategic alliances may be suppliers, distributors, sales representatives, consultants, etc. (e.g., a bottled water company might reach an agreement to transport and sell its product through the existing distribution system or a soft drink company.)

After a few weeks, you noticed social loafing in the team as some members systematically put less effort in the development of the new drug, blaming the delay in the trial process as solely responsible for this situation and never taking the initiative to resolve the impasse with creative solutions. The top performers of your team have privately complained to you about this situation, which is causing significant stress due to overload. They are even threatening to leave the company.

(c) If Arturo’s management uses market segmentation to target this print ad, what is the segmentation variable it should use? Explain your reasoning. (d) Design an experiment to test whether or not this print ad is effective. Describe the test group and the control group of the experiment, and describe the time course of events. What is the dependent variable in your experiment? Explain why both the test group and the control group are necessary for this experiment to have validity.
