I need a positive feedback about the common below made by my classmate.

• All organizations weight pros and cons when making large decisions. When making the decision to pursue a global strategy the organization must take into account factors of probable investment that is required, the amount of traffic by estimation and much more. In the end if the business feels that in the long run revenue will succeed then the company would pursue the investment to strategize to go global.
• The most valuable resource a company can have is their reputation. Expanding globally can harm the reputation of the company that has other worries such as suppliers, competitors and third party vendor to set up the business and may not work the way it should. A reputation is already set because of the services and quality provided and if it change happens it could potentially harm the business.

For example, Apple does business globally. Their main supplier was Foxconn in China, this changed in 2010 when they were accused of low wages, long hours, poor working and living conditions basically sweatshop conditions and it backlashed. Now Apple has diversified their suppliers

• Cultural distance is the cultural disparity between the internationally expanding firm’s home country and its targeted host country. A firm’s decision to enter certain international markets is influenced by cultural differences. A greater cultural difference can increase the cost and uncertainty of conducting business overseas. Basically cultural distance increases the liability of foreignness. For example McDonalds started selling Beef burgers in India which is a country populated my majority vegetarians for religious purposes therefore affecting the business.
• IKEA’s external challenges include finding new sources of supply to support more store openings, opening new stores to encourage growth, increased competition, economic conditions, change in the market. Internal challenges include maintaining growth and design, replacing CEO’s, keeping costs low. Finding new sources of supply to support each store may be the greatest threat in my opinion. But if they focus on low cost it is possible.
• Expanding takes a lot of time, effort and attention to detail. It is important to take into consideration the deforestation and global warming issue

Many have thought that if we don't have free will, then punishment and reward would not make sense. Do you agree with this? Why or why not? Would be good to do away with punishment? Why or why not? (Consider: Punishment can be used for retribution, i.e., as giving a person their just deserts, but it can also be used as a deterrent. Reward can be used to recognize a person's accomplishment because they deserve it, but it can also be used to motivate them to do certain things). Write at least one paragraph in your initial post

2. The early Milesians (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes) each sought an arche as the foundation for existence. Beginning with an explanation of how Thales derived his solution to the question “What is real?” detail the arche of each. This should include an examination of why each found his predecessors solution problematic.

Question 1
Given two integers x and y, the following recursive definition determines the greatest common divisor of x and y, write gcd(xy). Write a recursive function, gcd, that takes two integers as parameters and returns the greatest common divisor of numbers. Also write a program to test your function. Write a recursive function, reverseDigits, that takes an integer as a parameter and returns the number with the digits reversed. Also write a program to test your application.

A course consists of many subjects, but each subject can only be associated with one course. Each subject is co-ordinated by a lecturer and each lecturer can co-ordinate many subjects. Subjects and courses are identified by subject and course codes, and have a name. Lecturers are identified by an ID and have a name, room number and telephone contact number

Answer the following question in a minimum of two paragraphs.

Bob wants to form a company with Bill but is concern about expenses and taxes. Bill is known to be careless with money and seems to always have debt issues. If you were to advise Bob, what you recommend regarding his options in forming a business (partnership, corporation, Limited Liability Company)? Explain the consequences of your options.

A person named Rein petway answered with  

the most suitable form of business that Bob can choose for his company is an LLC. It is a form suitable for new small businesses that involved more people but require limited liability of each. A partnership firm will not provide limited liability and thus all expenses, liabilities will have to be shared along with the profits and decisions. This will make it difficult to run the business with Bill's careless money spending behaviors. A corporation will provide limited liability advantage but has double taxation involved which will increase the taxation and expenses issue for Bob.

chegg, it is your job to respond to Rein Petways response with at least two paragraph!
