ON CULTURE: As you review how cultures differ from one another, imagine that you want to develop a flexible and mobile work force that is not con- trolled by a given culture, but which could easily relocate to countries with a variety of different cultures. You want people who can easily and effectively fit in so as to be accepted by employees and customers. In your opinion, what are some of the barriers or issues that you would encounter, and how might you achieve your objective?
2. Compare PengAtlas Map 1.4 (Religious Heritage) and Map 1.5 (Education Levels Around the World). Which do you think has a more powerful effect in both the cultural and economic realm? Why? If your answer is “Both of the above,” is one of the two a bit more powerful in creating a unified culture, and one more powerful in creating a dynamic economy? Explain your answer.
3. Compare PengAtlas Map 3.2 (Top Reformers) with Maps 1.4 and 1.5. Are there any relationships between reformers and religious heritage? Why or why not? If there are any relationships, are they causal or coincidental? Any rela- tionship between reformers and educational level? Why or why not? If there are any relationships, are they causal or coincidental? Defend your answer.
4. ON CULTURE: Suppose the education system of a given country teaches val- ues that can make it very difficult to do business profitably in the country. Is that an impossible barrier, or is there anything that can be done to change that or cope with it? Defend your answer.

9. Why is the fight against corruption a long-term battle?
10. Does corruption always only involve money? If not, what else may be involved?
1. Describe at least three types of tangible and intangible resources and capabilities.

3. What is meant by “commoditization”?
4. When analyzing a value chain with a VRIO framework, what is the most important question to begin with and why?

10. If a firm is successful domestically, is it likely to be successful internationally? Why or why not?
11. After reviewing the arguments for and against offshoring, state your opinion on this issue.
12. ON CULTURE: How can differences in values and traditions affect the success of offshoring?

14. What is one common mistake that managers often make when evaluating their firm’s capabilities?

As you read in Chapter 5, corruption can be a common issue in business dealings around the world. Imagine that you are a small company looking to do business in an area where bribery is commonplace. Gaining entry to this market would lead to substantial benefits to both your shareholders and customers. You are asked to bribe a local official a significant amount to get the building permit you need. How would you handle the situation and why?

To measure the financial performance of any company, it is important to analyze its four key financial statements: balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and shareholders’ equity statements. In this assignment, you will:
Visually present the balance sheet to depict what each company owns and what it owes over the past three years.
Visually present the income statement to depict how much money a company made and spent over the past three years.
The visual presentation and analysis will help you understand and compare the performance of both the companies to be acquired and eventually will help you build your recommendation for the acquisition.
