f Nokia decided to embrace the change and move from the old slate (Nokia phones in 2005) to the future slate (smartphones similar to apple and Samsung smartphones in 2020), bearing in mind the lesson learned stated in the last page in the case, propose suitable levers throughout Lewin’s three phases of managing change which in your opinion could have saved Nokia from failure. The levers should cover the four organisational subsystems. (at least 2 levers in each subsystem).

Problem 7-19 Interest Rate Risk [LO2]

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 10 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has six years to maturity, whereas Bond Dave has 19 years to maturity.

If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would be the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Please respond to the following questions based upon these course objectives: Analyze the impact of organizational structure including cross-border alliances on international human resource management. Describe the issues surrounding expatriate recruitment, selection, training, and development for international assignments. Describe repatriation activities, practices, and issues. Identify the drivers of globalization and localization. Please answer the following questions with supporting examples and full explanations. For each of the learning objectives, provide an analysis of how the course supported each objective. Explain how the material learned in this course, based upon the objectives, will be applicable to the professional application.

What would be the marginal and average tax rates for a corporation with an income level of $85,000? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the marginal tax rate as a whole percent. Enter the average tax rate as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Write an overloaded procedure using c++ for approximating the value of cos(x), called approx_cos. This procedure should work as follows:

• A call such as approx_cos(double x, long N) should produce the Nth order Taylor approximation of the cosine function at the point x. You of course need the derive this Taylor expansion in order to implement it.

• A call such as approx_cos(double x) should approximate the value of the cosine function evaluated at the point x, to at least eight digits of accuracy. The Taylor Remainder Theorem helps us understand how to mathematically obtain such a result.

Of course you should write a main() procedure that checks the validity of this procedure and compare it to the true value of cosine at several points (not just x=0).

1. There is nothing like the smell of BBQ in the summertime. Many people use propane gas Barbeques to cook the perfect steak. Here is the reaction that is occurring while the steak sizzles on the grill:

C₃­H₈(g)   + O₂(g) --> CO₂(g) +   H₂O (g)

The balanced reaction has a DH^o_rxn = -2217 kJ. If a steak must absorb 7.2x10^-4 kJ to reach a perfect medium rare, and if only 15% of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by the steak, what mass of H₂O is emitted into the atmosphere when this steak is cooked? (Hint: don’t forget to balance the reaction)

2. A student performed this lab with a marshmallow. He used 50.0 g of water and recorded a temperature of 21°C before heating and 30°C after heating. The marshmallow and fork weighed 21.5 g before heating and 21.1 g after heating. What was the total energy (in J) of the marshmallow? What was the energy per gram of the marshmallow?

2. Alice and 10 other users are sending packets using the pure ALOHA protocol. The duration of a packet is 40 msec. Each user sends a packet (including both originals and retransmissions) following a Poisson process with rate 1/400 packets/msec. (a) What is the chance of success on Alice’ first attempt? (hint: the probability that there is no othertransmission within the vulnerable period of Alice’s attempt) (b) What is the probability that Alice gets exactly k collisions and then a success? (hint: consider a Bernoulli trials process) (c) What is the expected number of transmission attempts needed to successfully send a packet?

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $7.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $18.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 255 boxes with a standard deviation of 40 boxes.

How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Put your name on the first line in camelCase. Write a JavaScript function to calculate the revenue for blocks sales. Input the number of wooden blocks, the number of plastic blocks and the number of rubber blocks. Wooden blocks are $5. Plastic blocks are $2 and rubber blocks are $4. Calculate the cost for each type of block. Calculate the total cost. Display the four outputs on the page. Label the inputs and the output on your page. Change the title to "Study Hard for the Test!!".
