Deborah enters your office ready to discuss the project. She discusses her feedback on the plan thus far. She states that your team is doing an excellent job researching and you’ve been keeping her up-to-date on your findings. She commends you for your focus on effective management strategies because your team has been looking at every aspect of the company and considering both internal and external pros and cons. She asks that your team now apply the findings to develop a strategic framework so that the company can begin its global expansion programs. You decide that Deborah has brought up another good point and decide that the balanced scorecard would make a good part of strategic framework.

A balanced scorecard suggests that we view the organization from four perspectives (the learning & growth perspective, the business process perspective, the customer perspective, and the financial perspective). Create a 2-3 page paper that discusses the following:

  • Briefly discuss the four perspectives of the balanced scorecard and analyze what each means to your organization.
  • In addition to the balanced scorecard, provide an overview of two other strategies that would be part of your company’s strategic framework for global expansion.
  • Why is it important to combine different strategies when pursuing global expansion?

In addition to your textbook material, here are a few resources that may help you learn more about the basics of the balanced scorecard:

6053 Discussion 3

  

In your own workplace, you may find yourself wondering, who should I turn to when I have a practice dilemma? or Where can I go to learn more about this issue? These questions speak to the intricacies of formal and informal organizational structure and leadership.

To prepare:

· Review the information presented in Chapter 12 of the course text. Focus on the information about formal versus informal structure as well as the types of organizational structures.

· Consider the overall structure or hierarchy of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Which organizational structure best describes your organization—line (or bureaucratic), ad hoc, matrix, service line, or flat? Note: It is possible to have a combination of structures in one organization. Is decision making centralized or decentralized in this organization?

· What is the role of committees, task forces, and councils in the organization, and who is invited to join? Consider how this relates to formal and informal leadership.

· Reflect on how decisions are made within a specific department or unit. Which stakeholders provide input or influence the decision-making process? Assess this in terms of formal and informal leadership.

· To support your analysis, consider your own experiences and investigate these matters by speaking with others at the organization and reviewing available documents. Be sure to consider how the concepts of formal and informal structure and leadership relate to one another and are demonstrated in the organization and in the particular department or unit.

Post a depiction of your organization’s formal structure, indicating whether it is best described as line, ad hoc, matrix, service line, flat, or a combination. Describe how decisions are made within the organization and within one department or unit in particular, noting relevant attributes of centralized/decentralized decision making. Explain the influence of formal and informal leadership on decision making within this department or unit.

Response 2 DB4 (75 words)

Realist emphasize a nationalist and a zero-sum trade, investment, and finance (Nau, 2017). Realist argues that trade policy favors exports over imports and domestic industries over foreign industries (Nau, 2017).  Additionally, realist argues that fiscal policies should limit the dependence of the need for foreign borrowing (Nau, 2017). The realist perspective views the world’s economy primarily regarding security and relative gains (Nau, 2017). Which for a realist means that security relations create a geo-economic balance of trade and determine whether free trade or protectionist policies should be implemented (Nau, 2017). More specifically, realist values export over imports when it comes to trade and that allowing imports can be seen as substituting foreign jobs for domestic jobs (Nau, 2017). When it comes to trade negotiations realist, seek a bilateral or alliance approach because they are wary of security implications (Nau, 2017). The realist perspective sees international investment as a means to gain access to foreign resources and markets while protecting defensive industries from international forces (Nau, 2017). Finally, realist sees immigration in which population is an important ingredient in national power and are reluctant to liberalize stance unless doing so offers a national advantage (Nau, 2017). 

The liberal perspective argues an international and a non-zero-sum trade policy (Nau, 2017). The liberal argues that trade policy should favor the open market. Investment policies that treat industries equally, and fore policy that facilitate global savings (Nau, 2017). Liberal perspective, when it comes to security and economics, highlights the absolute or collective gains more than the relative gains (Nau, 2017). From the liberal perspective, the spread of wealth was beneficial, and more players involved. In the open market the better (Nau, 2017). Unlike the realist perspective, which believes that security leads to international economic ties, the liberal perspective believes that international economic interdependence will lessen the dependence on security (Nau, 2017). Liberals see trade negotiations as the desire to put into place multilateral negotiations which focuses on collective gains that over time reduce security concerns (Nau, 2017). When it comes to international investment, liberals understand the security and economic approach that a nation must ensure but focuses on broader measures to diversify investments and strengthen international rules (Nau, 2017). When it comes to immigration liberals, emphasize the need to align labor skills and economic needs across national boundaries, allowing for a common material benefit (Nau, 2017).

Identity Perspective sees globalization as different then realist perspective or liberal perspective. Identity perspective sees globalization regarding development and climate change (Nau, 2017). Development brings about greater income equality in many parts of the world (Nau, 2017). The identity perspective is concerned about who is doing the development, which ethnic group, religious sect, social class, or nation (Nau, 2017). Identity perspective recognizes that development possesses a negative effect on the environment and thinks that more developed nations bear the responsibility to make technology to counteract the negative effects (Nau, 2017). The identity perspective concedes then that the world is common home and that its resources are to be protective (Nau, 2017). It is for this reason that the concept of identity and justice is important and that wealth disparity should not be ignored (Nau, 2017). Finally, identity perspectives highlight the distinct and shared values of globalization, the more advanced nation can influence developing nations (Nau, 2017).

Outside the three mainstream perspectives, there lies a critical theory perspective which rejects the three main perspectives (Nau, 2017). According to critical theory, the three main perspectives fail to accurately apply the past to future world development (Nau, 2017). The identity perspective argues that if a developing country wants to become modern, they have to adopt Western concepts (Nau, 2017). The realist perspective argues that developing countries can not develop independently because geography and demography do not favor them (Nau, 2017). If these countries want to develop, they have to be reliant on Western nations (Nau, 2017). The liberal perspective argues that developing countries if they want to survive or grow, have to implement Western rules and institutions of specializations, comparative advantage, multinational corporations, and open markets (Nau, 2017). Critical Theory rejects these notions, arguing that the benefit that developed nations enjoy is not a product of internal Western ideas, institutions, or competitions (Nau, 2017). In other words, although the Western model can be a successful model, others can be successful outside that model. Critical Theory argues that the Western model is a consequence of the “systematic external exploitation” of weaker nations (Nau, 2017). Thus, the critical theory argues that globalization is not driven by Western perspective but by a totalistic logic that cannot be controlled or hindered (Nau, 2017). The critical theory perspective argues that cause and effect are not sequential, rather causality can be understood only in a given historical period and the consciousness of the people who understand the realities (Nau, 2017).

Abstract Data Types – discussion

Respond to the following discussion with 150 words or more.

 

Hello class,

Today were gonna take a look at Abstract Data Types!

The way that abstract data types are implemented reminds me a LOT  about HTML and CSS. when it comes to CSS, it is what the user see’s and  interacts with that hides the HTML and raw code/implementation, and is  typically in its own “style sheet” that is referenced by the source html  file.

Let me put this into java terms.

For example if we take a look at a List. The List data type has a lot  of functionality hidden within it that you don’t see or interact with  as a user. Things such as count, pointers, and how the data is stored in  a sequence.

Then you take a look at Linked List.

A linked list is a linear data structure, you can almost think of it  as a physical structure. Once the size is defined, it creates a box to  place each object with its own data part. The Linked List still uses  pointers, but each element is linked and also referenced as a node. 

The main difference between General purpose data structures and  Abstract data types is how they are perceived. With abstract data types,  when using the application program, how the data is handled is hidden,  you cant see what type of algorithms are used, or what data structures  are used. In general purpose data structures, they aren’t trying to  explicitly hide it.
