In response to a variety of expected environmental changes in your industry, your business has decided to change its organizational structure to be more consistent with a new strategy for increased competitiveness. They plan to move from a mechanistic model of organization to a flatter, more organic structure with an emphasis on self-managing work teams. Needless to say, these are significant internal changes, not to mention the external changes which are bound to occur as well. Using what we have learned from our readings:

• What resistance to the changes do you expect and why?
• How would you advise key decision-makers on the best ways to successfully affect the planned changes?
• Share any personal experiences and cite all resources.

1a) Please find and describe a unique communication method that a multinational has had to adopt in another country…something that goes beyond and is different from what it does in its home market. The communication adaptation may be in terms of content/message of the communication OR the media channel used to communicate.

1b) Discuss the probable reasons for this adaption, e.g., economic, cultural etc. Provide rationale for the above by drawing upon what you learned in Chapters 2-6 about the external environment. For example, if a reason is low income of consumers, then use statistics about that target audience’s income/education. If the reason is cultural, try to use Hofstede or Hall’s framework to explain.

Please mention references.

The Chi-squared test has been used earlier to test a hypothesis about a population variance. It is also a hypothesis testing procedure for when one or more variables in the research are categorical (nominal).

Chi-squared Goodness of Fit Test

Chi-squared Test for Independency

Question 1. Describe an example of a research question where a Chi-squared test has been used. Mention the two hypotheses of the problem and display a numerical demonstration of your example. In particular, interpret the test P value in the context of your research example.

Question 2. Describe why the Chi-squared tests of the types mentioned above are always right-tailed hypothesis testing problems.

Anyone help please.......

Discuss the Shareholder Concerns in details of ""Netflix"" according to:

Ownership structure: Start by looking at proportions of the outstanding stock held by institutions, insiders and individuals. This data is generally available in public sources, in most countries.

• How many stockholders does the company have?
• What percent of the stock is held by institutional investors?
• Does the company have listings in foreign markets? (If you can, estimate the percent of the stock held by non-domestic investors)

• Who are the insiders in this company? (Besides the managers and directors, anyone with more than 5% is treated as an insider)
• What role do the insiders play in running the company?
• What percent of the stock is held by insiders in the company?

P.S mention resources and citations for your answer.

After studying biochemistry all day and night, you fall into a coma-like sleep for 12 hours. After a few hours of not eating, your body starts to say, “Hey, there is a low amount of glucose in my bloodstream, and my muscles that are keeping me alive right now are getting hungry for some energy production. I think I’ll let my pancreas secrete the hormone, glucagon, to go tell my liver and muscle cells to affect their carbohydrate metabolism.” Outline what happens after the glucagon binds to receptors on the outside of your liver/muscle cells. Make sure to mention all of the effected enzymes and major processes involved in carbohydrate metabolism.

Q3:

According to Ed Leonard, the CTO at DreamWorks “Shrek 3 consumed 20 million CPU render hours with 3000+ server CPUs, with 24TB file size”.

Suppose the personal computer CPU advanced so much so that we accomplished that goal by fabricating 3000-core Processor Motherboard. Would this new multicore machine perform as well as the parallel processing employed by DreamWorks?

Give 2 justifications to support your answer?

Q4: Explain (in your own words) how does JAGGIES happens in text and what is the technique used to mitigate the JAGGIES effect? Mention an application that applies that technique.

Design a Ship class that has the following members:

• A member variable for the name of the ship (a string)
• A member variable for the year that the ship was built (a string)
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators
• A virtual print function that displays the ship’s name and the year it was built.

Design a CruiseShip class that is derived from the Ship class. The CruiseShip class
should have the following members:

• A member variable for the maximum number of passengers (an int )
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators
• A print function that overrides the print function in the base class. The CruiseShip class’s print function should display only the ship’s name and the maximum number of passengers.

Design a CargoShip class that is derived from the Ship class. The CargoShip class
should have the following members:

• A member variable for the cargo capacity in tonnage (an int ).
• A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
• A print function that overrides the print function in the base class. The CargoShip class’s print function should display only the ship’s name and the ship’s cargo capacity.

After you have created these classes, create a driver program that defines an array pointers to your abstract base class Ship. It should present a menu to allow the user to enter a Cruise Ship or a Cargo Ship. When the user selects cruise ship, it should prompt them for the name, year built, and the number of passengers. When the user selects cargo ship, it should prompt them ffor the name, year built, and the maxium cargo load (in tons). Each selection should create an object that can be stored into your array of pointers. When the program exits, it should display the history of the session which includes each of the objects the user created which will be a combination of cruise ships and cargo ships. An example output is shown here:

Menu

1. Cruise Ship
2. Cargo Ship
3. Quit
Please make your selection: 2

Please enter the name of the ship: Big Bertha
Please enter the year the ship was built: 1975
Please enter the capacity (tons): 50000

Menu

1. Cruise Ship
2. Cargo Ship
3. Quit
Please make your selection: 1

Please enter the name of the ship: Disney Magic
Please enter the year the ship was built: 1998
Please enter the capacity (passengers): 2400

Menu

1. Cruise Ship
2. Cargo Ship
3. Quit
Please make your selection: 3

The history of your session is

Selected Cargo Ship

Name: Big Bertha
Year: 1975
Capacity (tons): 50000

Selected Cruise Ship

Name: Disney Magic
Year: 1998
Capacity (passengers): 2400

Rules for Question:

All interest rates herein are expressed with continuous compounding.



In case you need to make assumptions, please clearly state them. Only reasonable

assumptions are acceptable. Assumptions that violate finance principles are not to be

made.



For numerical questions, simply calculating the numbers out will not be sufficient.

Please also provide me with the reasons for your calculations. Correct thinking

processes are much more important than correct numbers. Therefore, regardless of

whether or not your numbers are correct, no marks will be given if (a) no explanation

of your calculations is provided; or (b) the explanation provided is incorrect. On the

other hand, even if your numbers are incorrect, partial marks will be given if your

thinking process is correct.



Please note that marks can only be given based on what you write. Therefore, I request

that you attempt to convey your ideas to me as clearly as possible. I will not make a

guess as to what you intend to mean if you do not make it obvious and clear.



When your answers involve taking positions in securities or lending/borrowing, please

mention all the relevant details

such as

the timing of the transactions, the side of the

contracts (e.g., long or short forward), the length of the contracts (e.g., 6-month

futures), the exercise prices (in case of options) and the interest rates (in case of lending

or borrowing).

Question:

1. (3 points) You were recently offered a job (i.e., a 5-year contract) with a gold producer. The company is offering a choice between two compensation schemes. Under the first scheme, you will get a salary of $100,000 per year, with the first payment occurring at the end of the first year. Under the second scheme, you will get 50 ounces of gold per year, with the first payment occurring at the end of the first year. The current price of gold is $1,900 per ounce, and gold analysts expect the price to increase at the rate of 4% per year. The risk-free rate is 2% p.a., while the storage cost for gold is 0.1% p.a. Which compensation scheme will you choose?
