Why or why not? The chapter defines global corporate citizenship as committing to serving various stakeholders. I think that Apple did demonstrate good global corporate citizenship.

eBay first entered China by acquiring a minority stake in EachNet. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method of market entry? One of the most significant advantage of this method of market entry is that when a foreign company decides to acquire a Chinese domestic company, it needs to learn not only the internal structure of the company, its business segments, its original value propositions to the domestic customers, but also its core competencies in competing domestically. Therefore when acquiring a domestic company such as Eachnet, eBay did a good job of not rushing to take over the company and run it as if it is competing in the US market, instead it let the company continue its business model and operations. However, as mentioned in the case, “senior management had not felt respected by their US headquarters, which had not given them enough autonomy and had directed the from afar instead”, it seemed like as time progressed, Ebay started taking too much control over the company without fully learning the consumer behaviors, nor the significance of cultural differences between China and United States.

Both men believed that their countries’ economic interests in China would be best protected and promoted by a formal agreement among the European powers on the principle of maintaining an Open Door for trade and commercial activity. Under their influence, Secretary Hay sent the first of the Open Door Notes on September 6, 1899, to the other great powers that had an interest in China, including Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Japan. These nations maintained significant physical and commercial presences in China, and were protective of their various spheres of influence and trading privileges there, and elsewhere in Asia. Hay proposed a free, open market and equal trading opportunity for merchants of all nationalities operating in China, based in part on the most favored nation clauses already established in the Treaties of Wangxia and Tianjin. Hay argued that establishing equal access to commerce would benefit American traders and the U.S. economy, and hoped that the Open Door would also prevent disputes between the powers operating in China.
