Further, Schindler’s Indian business faced cost pressures due to sharply increased import tariffs that were not calculated for and a rise in transfer prices from the goods imported from European subsidiary. Lastly, the Indian subsidiary of Schindler did not get engineering support, design specifications and parts lists it needed in time from the European headquarters. The most important challenge I see in the case study is to overcome the evident cultural differences. To name a few, the differences in power distance and the individualism vs. collectivism. Napoli needs to understand that the local network is important and very powerful and that he needs to have interpersonal relationships with his co-managers in order to be successful in India.
The question of whether or not the vice president of Birch Paper Company should take action in this matter is a dilemma that is hard to say, because there are both pros and cons on each side. If the vice president gets involved in the bidding process they may destroy the decentralization culture of the Bitch Paper Companyof the division managers. However, by not taking action they will lose some profit by not choosing the best option and by losing the cost saving associated with in-sourcing to Thompson. However, central managers will only want to intervene if the negative financial consequences are significant. As it is
Identify two areas of government regulation and explain why this can be seen as a bad thing for businesses. Taxation may lead to businesses being driven out of the country due to high taxes and due to this businesses will move to countries with lower tax rates to maximise their profits. Building regulation stops the growth of businesses because without the approval of the government businesses’ cannot expand

Diplomatic events in surrounding countries. The following link is evidence of how Tesco is affected by political change http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/budget/8394379/Budget-2011-George-Osborne-set-for-8bn-windfall-from-bounce-in-tax-revenues-and-public-spending-cuts.html# This report explains how the government in 2011 decided to make spending cuts; this would reduce things like benefits and the link also describes how a decision to raise tax was made. These two factors of the report effect Tesco massively as a business because this means people have less money to spend due to cutting benefits and raising tax so Tesco would have to reduce sale prices, and try to reduce general costs because tax rising will affect them also, but would still have to keep employees paid at the same wage as it would be unfair to lower wages. Tesco have to make changes concerning themselves and customers as a business not their employees. Economic This link shows how the cost of healthy living has risen, so it cost more to make a meal than it would to buy the same readymade, but unhealthy version.
This power is much too overwhelming, because of the outrageous detriments that it could have on the economies of the world. Many large corporate monopolies are detrimental to many economies around the world, because, as a result of their misuse of power, monopolies have no incentive to improve or do more than what is necessary; they have extremely high prices at extremely low supply, and they do not use resources efficiently. These three factors could lead to much inefficient use of the limited supply our countries have, as well as decreasing GDP because of the lack of spending due to the extremely high prices, ultimately decrementing economies around the world. With less or no monopolies, economies and consumers can finally breathe easy, without the fear of high prices or inefficiency. First, the many monopolies in the world are detrimental to the economy because the lack of competition gives company little incentive to do more than what is needed.

In addition, Robin Hood has become unfamiliar with all of the Merrymen due to their size of the group. This is causing vigilantes and uprisings that threaten the existence of the group. Assisting King Richard could cause an uproar in the group because it is potentially going against their mission, and if double crossed by the King and the Barons the group would no longer exist.

Wasteful Government Spending A major problem today in the United States government is agreeing on a balanced federal budget. When a government cannot balance its budget or it spends more money in a year than it receives in revenues, a deficit occurs. One reason congressional leaders cannot come to terms on a balanced federal budget is because of the wasteful government spending that occurs. Congressional leaders believe that some government programs should be passed on to state and local governments while others believe the programs are inefficient, mismanaged; outdated and unnecessary programs that should be eliminated. In order to manage these problems, Congress will need to make hard, necessary changes that will affect all people so the government can run more efficiently.
In addition, without simple necessities, like machines, several un-needed death occur. Our privatized medicine would be better if we did not change it to socialized medicine because of the negative effects that would take place. If you were to introduce socialized medicine to America, there would be several disadvantages. The disadvantages would have such a severe and negative change that would affect the economics of everyday life of normal people. If we did change over to socialized medicine, a lot of factors would cause negative effects in our economy.
As stated previously, the Forced Loan existed to fund England’s wars considering that Parliament was reluctant to grant Charles further subsidies. Foreign policy had been dreadful for England since Charles had become King due to large scale operations such as the Cadiz Expedition failing miserably. As such, it was becoming increasingly more expensive to fund. Due to this Charles demanded more
