Describe the current global strategy and provide evidence about how the firm’s resources and competencies support the pressures regarding costs and local responsiveness. Describe entry modes they have usually used, and whether the modes are appropriate for the given strategy is described below
Explanation:
Global Strategy’ is a shortened term that covers three areas: global, multinational and international strategies. Essentially, these three areas refer to those strategies designed to enable an organisation to achieve its objective of international expansion.
In developing ‘global strategy’, it is useful to distinguish between three forms of international expansion that arise from a company’s resources, capabilities and current international position.
Implications of the three definitions within global strategy:
International strategy: the organisation’s objectives relate primarily to the home market.
Multinational strategy: the organisation is involved in a number of markets beyond its home country. But it needs distinctive strategies for each of these markets because customer demand and, perhaps competition, are different in each country. Importantly, competitive advantage is determined separately for each country.
Global strategy: the organisation treats the world as largely one market and one source of supply with little local variation. Importantly, competitive advantage is developed largely on a global basis.
Answer:
C. When inventory is delivered to a customer
Explanation:
As we know that the inventory is good that the company sold to the customers. Through these goods, the company can able to generate huge profits and gain a competitive advantage in the market

2) all of the partners in proportion to their shares of the profits
Explanation:
Partnership refers to a mutual agreement between two or more individuals, deciding to carry on a business and share it's risks and rewards in the profit sharing ratio as stipulated, or as provided in the partnership deed.
Upon retirement or death of any of the partners, the partnership is said to have been dissolved. Upon dissolution, the profits and losses arising consequently shall be shared by the remaining partners in their profit sharing ratio. A firm may decide to voluntarily dissolve too.
In the given case, upon dissolution, liabilities exceed assets and thus indicate a loss.
This loss shall be borne by all of the partners in their profit sharing ratio and not in the ratio of their capitals.
Answer:
Explanation:
exponential smoothing alpha = 0.5
formula = Previous demand x Alpha + previous forecast x (1 - alpha)
26 32 40 27 30
26 26 29 34.5 30.75
week 2 forecast
26x0.5 + 26x0.5 = 26.
week 3 forecast
32x0.5 + 26x0.5 = 29
use the same procedure for week 4 and week 5
week 6
30x0.5 + 30.75x0.5 = 30.375
Demand Forecast for week 6 = 30.38
Answer: variable costs of $49,500 and $23,000 of fixed costs
Explanation:
A flexible budget refers to the budget which adjusts to the volume levels of a company.
Based on the information given in the question, the variable cost will be:
= (44000/8000) x 90000
= $49500 variable
On the other hand, the fixed cost has been given as $23000.
Therefore, the flexible budget would show variable costs of $49,500 and $23,000 of fixed costs.
