Please review the lecture notes for chapter 19 and give a qualitative example of each of the following: How fluctuating exchange rates can be beneficial to MNCs and how they can affect MNCs negatively. You must give one example of each scenario in order to receive full credit for this question. Furthermore, your answer must be purely qualitative. In other words, you should not use any numerical data to answer this question.

(The question from Ch. 19, pertaining to fluctuating exchange rates, is somewhat subjective and so you may not be able to find the answer to that question in either the lecture notes or the textbook. You might need to do an Internet search on the topic in order to answer it. Anybody who has ever traveled internationally has dealt with exchange rate fluctuations. If you have a personal story to share regarding fluctuating exchange rates, you may feel free to do so. Finally, please note that your answer to this question must be strictly qualitative; you are not required to show any calculations.)

1. In this problem, you will calculate mean values for four independent samples and then explain the observed differences (please read the entire problem before beginning). Using the SWC data (SWC tab) in dataset DS2.xls, do the following:
   1. Select a 10% random sample of all cases and calculate the Mean for the IMR (infant mortality rate) for this sample. Record the mean. (2 points)
   2. Select a second 10% random sample and calculate the Mean for the IMR for this sample. Record the mean. (2 points)
   3. Select a third 10% random sample and calculate the Mean for the IMR for this sample. Record the mean. (2 points)
   4. Select a fourth 10% random sample and calculate the Mean for the IMR for this sample. Record the mean. (2 points)
   5. Create a table that displays the four means calculated above in parts a-d. Calculate the average of the four means (Mean-1, Mean-2, Mean-3, Mean-4) and add this figure to the table. Describe the mean values calculated and offer an explanation for any differences observed. That is, explain why the four means calculated in parts a-d are not exactly the same. Include a comment about the “fifth mean” (the average of the means calculated in parts a-d). (2 points)

1. In the next two problems, you will calculate frequency distributions and express them in different kinds of charts. Using the Hospital Charges data in dataset DS2.xls, do the following:
   1. Compute the minimum and maximum age for the cases in the spreadsheet. (1 point)
   2. Create a frequency distribution of age using the following categories of age (<50, 50-64, 65-79, 80+). Compute percent and cumulative percent for each age category. (4 points)
   3. Label all elements in the frequency table. (2 points)
   4. Create a column chart of age (showing the number of cases in each age category). (1 point)
   5. Create a line chart of age (showing the number of cases in each age category). (1 point)
   6. Create a pie chart of age (showing the percent of cases in each age category). (1 point)

1. Using Late Delivery data in dataset DS2.xls , do the following:
   1. Use the pivot table to create a frequency distribution for the reasons for the late delivery of the meal. (4 points)
   2. Sort the frequency distribution so that the reason with the most occurrences is first, the second next, and so on, and create a column chart showing the reasons from most to least. (3 points)
   3. Compute the cumulative frequency (%) for the data in (a) and construct a Pareto chart of the result. That is, create a line chart for cumulative frequency (%) and add this to the chart created in part 6.b. (3 points)

Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Idea:

In preparing to launch the coffee franchises in China, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, you are planning to visit each country to interview potential global team members. You know it is important to be aware of the value differences and social customs in each country to develop trusting relationships to avoid potential conflicts. Compare and contrast your approach to doing business and building relationships among the global team members. Apply the readings, Intellipath, and library resources to respond to the following:

• Discuss collectivism and how it applies to China, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia. Explain the role of relationship building in China, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia compared to the United States.
• Explain the cultural value differences in time (monochronic versus polychronic cultures), approaches to decision making (objective or subjective approach), and individualism that could potentially occur during global operations.
• What are some of the nonverbal behavior differences among the countries such as silence, eye contact, body movements, proxemics or interruptions that may affect doing business with your global team?

. A draft of the final paper should focus on a given topic chosen by the students (for example, gentrification and displacement). The draft should be no more than four-pages long. The draft should define the topic and the premises of the topic; student should use the premises to define what interests them the most and use evidence to show this interest. Due Date: July 26, 2018; Return Date: July 30, 2018.

Note: These four-pages should not be outlined in bulletin points (for the obvious reason that it is a writing course). They should also not include the bibliography page, which should not be a listing of what I assign for this class. The bibliography should be the result of your research into the topic; therefore, it should demonstrate your understanding of certain areas within the larger discussion of gentrification. Further, the bibliography should involve both newspaper sources as well as scholarly written articles; if you do not understand the differences, you discuss this matter with the school librarians who can be reached over email or the phone (easily).

Your topic should be relevant to this class. However, given that we are discussing the formation of race, you should also take this into consideration while formulating your topic. The following is a brief list of topics that you can research into:

1. the role of domestic and foreign investment in gentrification (with a specific area);

4. the role of rezoning in gentrification within a specific area;

3. the history of gentrification in a specific area and how it is linked with the history of gentrification in other areas of NYC;

4. NYC politics, politicians, local community groups’ role in the gentrification of a specific area.

If your draft is not acceptable, you will need to revise your draft as a draft. When you revise your draft, it does not make it a final draft. You are simply working on it as a draft.

Compose a three-paragraph essay in which you reflect on the importance of academic integrity in higher education. Cite at least two sources you have read or viewed in this course. Feel free to cite other sources to support your paper, including scholarly articles on academic integrity. Organize your essay by writing one paragraph for each of the questions below:

• Why is academic integrity important in higher education?
• What are 2-3 examples of academic integrity violations related to course papers or capstone studies?
• What can students do to avoid each academic integrity violation you identified?

Make sure to format citations properly, per APA style, and include a reference list at the end of your paper.
