FUNDAMENTAL understanding of what we are doing here


Understanding what the deliverables are
Just finished a conversation with a group that was slightly confused
They  created a Powerpoint which they were going to use for their final group presentation video
Basically each person did a video of them talking about each powerpoint slide, then combined those videos to one big video – which is, in a
sense, their whole group presentation / video
- THAT is the video you send to me – you do NOT need to send to me each powerpoint
- Just imagine all group members are standing in front of the class, each, one by one talking about their part, and you have a video of all of them
together
- Which therefore allows the students to watch it and learn about the main point you learned about the company  you did
- So, the video to accompany your written report is NOT about everything in the written report – it is just a few things each group member speak
about, that were interesting and useful that they learned
- So


- So… all these 4 video segments get combined into one single video and you send that video to me by email, and then I put it up on my
YouyTube channel – to educate next term’s new students in the class
- Also – when you put your names on the first part of the combined video you do NOT need to put in your last name or your student number –
cause remember it is going on YouTube – just put in people’s first name only
- When you send me the email with this accompanying video, THAT is when you spell out each group members name so I know who was in the
group

To understand this in simple terms, just imagine the original way we did things before covid
1 you do a final group project – everybody in the group writes some part – you combine all parts into one long word.doc……you print out this
word.doc – attach all the pages together and (normally, before Covid) you hand it in to me in person
1B you combine all parts into one long word.doc ………you then email that to me
2 you do a presentation to class so the students can learn from what you did – but, because of Covid, we do not have an attended class, so
instead you make a video…of what you WOULD HAVE DONE in a presentation
2B then you email that video to me

3 then you are finished…you graduate
….and get a job
 …and 5 years later you email me to say you are successful, and I invite you to come back and be a guest lecturer to the new students
 … and you do a great job
 …and I retire
 …..and you take over and become a Professor and have a fulfilling happy life
     …The End.

'Sustainable development "

There is available, in many sources (internet based and non-internet based) commentary criticizing the major corporations and leading nations in their drive for competitiveness.

This drive for competitiveness (through harvesting practices) has created vulnerable situations for

  • water management 
    • (river and lakes drying up)
  • agriculture 
    • soil erosion (caused by large scale mining and tree harvesting)
    • soil depletion requiring excessive use of fertilizers and other chemicals
  • metals and mining
    • rare metals such as Cobalt are being dug out and used for advanced smartphones - and the mining of such minerals has large effects on the land and wildlife where these mines are located, such as the jungles of the Congo where gorillas live
  • forestry 
    • trees being cut down at a rate faster than replanting and regrowth
    • large forest fires effect safety for people livingf close, and smoke and ash clouds effect health of people living in the region
It is hard to be objective on this issue since some people claim we have reached a point in the history of the planet where the existence of the human species is at risk!! The topic of sustainable development, has become increasingly "public" as a news topic and therefore important for students in international business

Political Environment
 witiger.com/internationalbusiness/politicalenvironment.htm

The Political / Legal / Regulatory Environment can be simply described as the laws and regulations that business has to follow in order to make sure the business owners do not get arrested, or have the business fined for noncompliance of some regulation.

Laws are made by politicians - who enact these laws based on the likelihood they will get re-elected. The  political environment is affected and effected by politicians who in turn are influenced by changes and challenges in the social - cultural enviromment (languages, ethnicity, immigration etc.), challenges in the economic enviromment (currency exchange rates, corporate activity, unemployment rates) and also to some extent the geographic environment in terms of how the region is laid out, rivers, mountains, proximity to other countries, weather, seasons etc.

overall intro to contingency planning 

Successful International Business Management is based on solving problems.
If there were not a lot of  problems, you wouldn't need managers - but because there are lots of problems, you need managers to
- analyze the problem, (TRVA - Threat Risk Vulnerability Assessment)
- craft a solution, and 
- monitor how the solution is carried out.

Part of being a successful Int' Business Manager (especially after 9/11 and Covid19) is recognizing that risk and threat situations effect int'l business in many ways, and, these situations  have to be dealt with, and "managed", or your company will be compromised and subsequently uncompetitive.

    In November of 2021 a number of well known newspapers around the world began their story of the flooding in B.C. with words similar to "As climate change intensifies, extreme events are becoming more frequent and more damaging. Canada is ...".

    It is suggested (WTGR) that a different way of seeing this problem is not to look at climate change, but rather to look at human population change - more specifically the change in "where" humans are moving to work, and life.
    Wed Nov 2 Section SAA
    "I (WTGR) am  not a climatologist, but I wonder if the problem is not a suspected increase in climate "events", but rather a problem of millions of people around the world moving from rural areas, to large cities, as "economic refugees", not climate refugees - resulting in a large increase in the number of people being effected by a flood, hurricane, earthquake etc." 

    An earthquake in a rural farming area may effect dozens of people; an earthquake in a large city of many apartment buildings, could effect  thousands of people.  WTGR Nov 2021

    Genesis T.J. produced this informative video in July 2022 to explain the signifcance of the Euro reaching equal value with the Euro.

    Basically, the value of the U.S. dollar has declined in the past few years to the point where 1 Euro is worth 1 Dollar.

    A weaker dollar will help U.S. companies export - but it will make it more expensive for U.S. companies importing materials and supplies to manufacture "Made in America" things.

    Canada's largest trading partner is the USA

    Lower U.S. dollar will make it easier for Canadians to import U.S. smartphones, clothing, cars and autoparts and make it less expensive to travel to the U.S.

    Lower US dollar will make it more expensive for the Americans to import Canadian agricultural products, food, alcohol and make it more expensive for American tourists to visit Canada.

    Tue Nov 22th Section SCC
    Wed Nov 24th  Section SAA,
    Wed Nov 24th Section  SBB
    Fri  Nov 26h  Section SDD

    Why would you discuss Disadvantages of Exporting in a course which spends most of the time discussing how to export?

    Answer: because the course (MRK460, MGSC44, IBM600) is not, strictly speaking, "how to export".

    Sometimes managers need to make decisions about whether to pursue a new situation, or not: what we call a GO - NO GO decision.

    For the purposes of saving money and running the company efficiently, sometimes it is better to NOT GO - that is to say NOT export because the cost might be too high, or you may be consuming resources you don't have - it might be better to concentrate on making money on your "regular" business.

    Deciding NOT to export doesn't mean your company is not involved in international business 

    • you can still be involved in importing, directly, or indirectly 
      • and therefore international business circumstances (currency fluctuations, political risk etc.) will still effect you 
    • you may be manufacturing a device that depends on a supplier being able to manufacture a sub-component in a global region that becomes risky
      • the sub-component could be identified by a foreign government as a target for tariffs which may effect your production cost

    LCs Letters of Credit

     

     Letters of Credit
    witiger.com/internationalbusiness/LCs.htm
     
     

    The subject of LCs is not normally something you would teach in a general overview course on Global Marketing and Business  - but for some people who are interested in actually becoming involved in exporting and importing, LCs are a necessary thing which you must understand..

    Common Problems with Letters of Credit
    One of the things that is important for students of management to understand about business and international business is that the "real world" very seldom operates as precisely as the theory in the classroom. In the real world, there are often problems with "satisfying" the requirements of an LC on the side of the sender (seller), and the receiver (buyer).

    If an LC is irrevocable (meaning the credit cannot be amended or canceled without the agreement of all parties) then the buyer may have a big problem if something develops that they cannot fix - because the 3rd party will be obliged to pass the money to the seller once the goods are landed.

     "Letters of Credit are guarantees of payment to help you make purchases or transact business with companies with whom you have limited trading experience or credit history."

    Effects on
    Branding
    In this article, Prof. Richardson is discussing the challenges of developing a "Canadian Brand" for the clothing industry. In addressing this formidable challenge, Richardson explains that the ability to do this depends on how we can deal with the influences of the
      o  competitive environment
      o  social / cultural environment
      o  technological environment
      o  political / legal / regulatory environment
      o  economic environment
      o  geographic environment
    Richardson explains that these environments make it difficult for Canada to consider having a global brand for clothing similar to the Italians or French, instead it is recommended that we "embrace" the extreme weather challenges of our geographic environment and "brand" Canadian clothing as being the most robust and strong for cold weather.

    The Key point to understanding the importance of the Supply Chain is to consider how the Supply Chain is effected by the

    • Political / Legal / Regulatory Environment
      • ie. tariffs, import restrictions
    • Geographic Environment
      • ie. topographical barriers, waterways, air travel
    • Economic Environment
      • ie. currency exchange rate considerations
    • Technological Environment
      • ie. shipping technology, packaging, document processing ..
    • Competitive Environment

    and the 4P's

     

    It is also important for students to understand that the things which effect the Supply Chain also have a consequence for the 4P's
     
    • Product
      • the features, colours, shape and texture of the product will depend on your source of supply for the materials
    • Price
      • your price will depend on the competitive cost of the materials, and the distance you have to transport those materials to the production facility that makes your product
    • Promotion
      • promotion is developed in part based on the product and price so various promotion "things" are reflected by where the parts are supplied from
        • eg. quality leather from Italy
        • eg. fine wine from the ...... region
    • Place
      • the place at which a company assembles their product, or vends a product is often dependent on the distance from the source of supply since decreasing the distance will decrease the cost and allow the price to be more competitive

      • this also has to be done in co-operation with the "place" considerations for the customers' location

    Why 99.9% is not enough !
     

     

    Outsourcing and Offshoring

    why 99.9 accuracy is not enough
    when you manufacture a large number of devices

    99.9 means 1 in 1,000 is faulty
    if you increase the number manufactured, you increase the number of faulty products
    99.9 means 10 in 10,000
    or 100 in 100,000

    many electronic devices and their component parts are made by the millions
    Various sources say iPhone production averages about 200 million in the past 4 years

    if you say that Quality Control is aiming for 99.9%, then when it is applied to 200 million, the potential number of devices with errors or problems is... see below
     
    99.9 accuracy equals 1 in a 1,000
    or 10 in 10,000
    or 100 in 100,000
    or 1,000 in 1 million
    or 10,000 in 10 million
    or 100,000 in 100 million
    or 200,000 in 200 million
    did Nov 29 Section SCC
    did Nov 30 Section SAA
    99.9 means 1,000 in 1 million

    Foxconn in China can regularly produce 500,000 iPhones a day - that means, mathematically they have, potentially, a risk of producing 500 faulty devices each day

    500 per day x 365 days = 182,500 - which appears to be a very high number for potentially unhappy customers.

    Samsung regularly sells over 400 million phones a year - that is 400,000 faulty phone
    400,000 is an enourmous potential for "ticked off" customers.)

    Attracting good employees 
    is a competitive advantage

    "The one single key diffferentiator for corporations over the next generation or two will be the ability to attract and retain clever innovative flexible willing intelligent people...people will be the outstanding resource which will make the West succeed versus cheaper manufacturing of things for the foreseeable future."

    "Takeaways" for the course MRK460 Global Business and Marketing
    .
    The 4Ps and the 6Es have to be worked on by the business such that you don't get too much emphasize on some versus other, for example do not focus too much on Price and ignore developing the Product (FABs)
    youtube.com/watch?v=70wMAXToV4Y
    6Es, one of the reasons you want to focus on ALL 6 of the 6Es, is so that you do not end up in an "unrecovorable mistake"
    youtube.com/watch?v=Ykj0lxsQFmA

    The Competitive Environment is slightly more important than the other 5 environments - mostly because business people tend to "miss" identifying the wide range of other enterprises that are direct and indirect, and future competitors.

    Potential Disadvantages of Exporting  witiger.com/internationalbusiness/disadvantages.htm
    Why would you discuss Disadvantages of Exporting in a course which spends most of the time discussing how to export?
    For the purposes of saving money and running the company efficiently, sometimes it is better to NOT GO
    - that is to say NOT export because the cost might be too high, or you may be consuming resources you don't have
    - it might be better to concentrate on making money on your "regular" business.

    Deciding NOT to export doesn't mean your company is not involved in international business

    you can still be involved in importing, directly, or indirectly

    Quality TQM JIT why 99.9 accuracy is not enough
    when you manufacture a large number of devices
     witiger.com/internationalbusiness/TQM.htm
     witiger.com/internationalbusiness/JIT.htm
    99.9 means 1 in 1,000 is faulty
    if you increase the number manufactured, you increase the number of faulty products, 99.9 means 10 in 10,000 1,000 in a million/
    When you have many large global companies making products in the millions, you have a potential of thousands of unhappy customers.

    Foxconn in Zhengzhou in China can regularly produce 500,000 iPhones a day
    - that means, mathematically they have, potentially, a risk of producing 500 faulty devices each day
    500 per day x 365 days = 182,500 - which appears to be a very high number for potentially unhappy customers.
