(The Evolution of Visual Storytelling)

Think back to when Facebook was first launched in 2004. It was simply a directory of user names, interests, and contact information. Since then, social media platforms have taken significant steps toward a more visual experience. Examine the changes these social media platforms have taken to pave the way for visual content and storytelling.

If possible, please answer all 4 questions. Thanks! :)

Debt Investment Transactions, Available-for-Sale Valuation

Rekya Mart Inc. is a general merchandise retail company that began operations on January 1, Year 1. The following transactions relate to debt investments acquired by Rekya Mart Inc., which has a fiscal year ending on December 31:

Required:

1. Journalize the entries to record these transactions. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

2. If the bond portfolio is classified as available for sale, what impact would this have on financial statement disclosure?

If the bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities, then the portfolio of bonds would need to be adjusted to fair value . This would be accomplished by using a valuation allowance account and an unrealized gain (loss)  account.

Most motivation theories in use today were developed in the United States by Americans and about
Americans. Of those that were not, many have been strongly influenced by American theories. But
several motivation theories do not apply to all cultures. For example, Maslow’s theory does not often
hold outside the United States. In countries higher on uncertainty avoidance (such as Greece and Japan)
as compared with those lower on uncertainty avoidance (such as the United States), security motivates
employees more strongly than does self-actualization. Employees in high-uncertainty-avoidance
countries often consider job security and lifetime employment more important than holding a more
interesting or challenging job. Also contrasting with the American pattern, social needs often dominate
the motivation of workers in countries such as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden that stress the quality of
life over materialism and productivity.

When researchers tested Herzberg’s theory outside the United States, they encountered different
results. In New Zealand, for example, supervision and interpersonal relationships appear to contribute
significantly to satisfaction and not merely to reducing dissatisfaction. Similarly, researchers found that
citizens of Asia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, the Republic of Panama, and the West Indies cited certain
extrinsic factors as satisfiers with greater frequency than did their American counterparts. In other
words, the factors that motivate U.S. employees may not spark the same motivation in employees in
other cultures. Some of the major differences among the cultural groups include the following:

1. English-speaking countries such as England and the United States rank higher on individual
achievement and lower on the desire for security.
2. French-speaking countries and areas such as France and the province of Quebec in Canada,
although similar to the English-speaking countries, give greater importance to security and
somewhat less to challenging work.
3. Northern European countries such as Sweden have less interest in getting ahead and work towards
recognition goals and place more emphasis on job accomplishment. In addition, they have more
concern for people and less for the organization as a whole (it is important that their jobs not
interfere with their personal lives).
4. Latin American and Southern European countries find individual achievement somewhat less
important; Southern Europeans place the highest emphasis on job security, whereas both groups of
countries emphasize fringe benefits.
5. Germany ranks high on security and fringe benefits and among the highest on getting ahead.
6. Japan, although low on advancement, also ranks second-highest on challenge and lowest on
autonomy, with a strong emphasis on good working conditions and a friendly working environment.

Critical Thinking Questions
1. In today’s global business environment, with its diversity of perspectives, can a manager ever
successfully use equity theory? Why or why not?
2. What impact, if any, do these cultural differences have on managers managing an entirely American
workforce? Explain.

Public attitudes about the economy have turned bleak in much of the world as the coronavirus outbreak continues to affect daily life, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted this summer in 14 nations in Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Assessments of national economies have seen swift downturns in many countries, and few see improvements anytime soon amid what the International Monetary Fund calls a “crisis like no other.”
Overall, a median of only 31% of adults across the surveyed nations assesses their country’s current economic situation as good, while 68% say conditions are bad.
In 10 of the countries surveyed – including all of those surveyed in North America and the Asia-Pacific region – majorities consider the current economic situation worse.
In Europe, attitudes are mixed. Generally, Northern Europeans surveyed have more positive assessments, with a majority of Danes, Swedes, and Dutch rating their country’s economic condition positively. Germans are split (51% good, 47% bad). In the rest of the European countries surveyed – Belgium, the UK, France, Spain, and Italy – large majorities rate economic conditions negatively. Twelve of the 14 countries in the new survey were also surveyed in 2019, and in all 12, the share of adults who think their country’s current economic situation is bad has risen by double digits.
The sharpest uptick in negative assessments has come in Canada, where second-quarter losses in the gross domestic product were estimated at 12%. The share of Canadians who say the country’s current economic situation is bad has roughly doubled, from 27% in 2019 to 61% this year. Negative assessments have also grown by 30 percentage points in the UK, U.S., and Australia.
Sweden, which has not imposed strict shutdown measures during the COVID-19 outbreak, saw the smallest increase in negative assessments of the economy. But even there, GDP is expected to contract by roughly 5% in 2020, and Swedes are 11 percentage points more likely to think economic conditions in their country are poor than in 2019.
In addition to the broadly negative assessments of current economic conditions, few in the countries surveyed are hopeful things will get better in the next year. A median of 35% thinks the economic situation in their country will improve in the next 12 months, while nearly half (46%) expect conditions to worsen and 19% think nothing will change.
Majorities or pluralities in eight of the countries surveyed expect their national economies to decline further. This includes people in countries such as the UK, France, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. By contrast, people in the U.S., Canada, and Germany are more likely to say the economy will improve over the next 12 months than to say it will worsen.
In many of the countries surveyed, those who say their country’s current economy is in bad shape are more likely than those who say the economy is doing well to believe that the economy will worsen in the next 12 months. In South Korea, for example, 68% of those who say the current economy is bad also say they expect it to get worse in the coming year, compared with just 22% among those who say the current economy is good.
In almost every country included in the survey, public perceptions of whether the national economy is bad are related to assessments of how the country has handled the coronavirus outbreak. Those who view their country’s coronavirus response negatively are more likely to describe their country’s current economic situation as bad.
This is particularly apparent in the U.S. Among Americans who say their country has responded poorly to COVID-19, 87% say the economy is bad, compared with half among those who say the response went well – a 37 percentage point difference. In Italy and Japan, this difference is less stark.
In roughly half of the countries surveyed, a similar pattern exists when it comes to assessments of the future economic situation. For example, Belgians who negatively evaluate their country’s handling of COVID-19 are 23 points more likely than compatriots who approve of the government response to say their economy will worsen over the next 12 months.
Only in Canada and Australia are people with lower incomes more likely than those with higher incomes to rate the current economic situation as bad.
In the U.S., Denmark, Spain, Australia, and Japan, men are more likely than women to rate the state of the economy positively, and in Germany, Sweden, Japan, and South Korea, men are also more optimistic about the economy improving.
In the U.S., 82% of those ages 18 to 29 say the current economic situation is bad, compared with 58% of those ages 50 and older. Younger Americans are also less likely than their older counterparts to expect improvements in the economic situation. In the Netherlands and South Korea, the opposite is true: Older people are more likely than younger people to say the current economic situation is bad. Younger South Koreans are generally more optimistic about a rebound than their older counterparts.
