Question
	151. T F Raw materials are especially affected by joint demand.
152. T F When the major component of an item experiences a price increase, the demand for
the item may become more elastic.
153. T F Sometimes initial demand for a business product will drop following a price cut if
buyers believe that further price reductions are forthcoming.
154. T F In industries in which price changes occur frequently, demand fluctuations have
practically been eliminated since buyers have become used to these changes and have learned to
ignore them.
155. T F A fall in consumer demand for a product is likely to result in increased buying from
suppliers as consumer goods producers replenish depleted inventories and gear up for the next
surge in consumer demand.
156. T F The factors that influence business buying behavior are the same as those that
influence consumer buying behavior.
157. T F All companies, no matter what their size or market position, maintain only one buying
center.
158. T F Problem recognition can be stimulated by external sources, such as trade shows or
sales representatives.
159. T F In the buying decision process, one of the activities included in the search for

worked out during the product specification stage of the buying decision process.
161. T F Value analysis focuses primarily on the examination of the cost of products relative to

rebuy purchases.
166. T F Interpersonal dynamics are easy to observe and simple for the marketer to assess.
167. T F The North American Industry Classification System includes all three NAFTA partners.
168. T F The old Standard Industrial Classification system is more comprehensive than NAICS.

POLITICAL ECONOMY AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT .

POLITICAL ECONOMY AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT .

Case Overview – This assignment is intended to give you an opportunity to apply some key concepts from this course in a real world context. Specifically, you are required to select a country of your choice (not your home country ,not CHINA not India, not Singapore ), review the country’s political economy (political, economic and legal systems) from a reputable data source such as the CIA Wold Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world- factbook/) and critically discuss the country’s attractiveness or otherwise for foreign direct investment. Learning Objectives – This assignment requires you to explore and evaluate the costs and benefits of FDI with respect to your selected country in particular and host economies in general. It therefore, fulfils broad learning objectives related to this course. However, the primary learning objective of this assessment task is to appreciate the macro-economic causes of growth in an economy and the subsequent and/or consequential influence on FDI. Through an analysis of the political economy in this context, this assessment is also designed to evaluate your ability to apply your understanding of the political economy and country attractiveness for investment. Advice – Remember that the political economy stresses that the political, economic and legal systems of a country are interdependent; they interact and influence each other, and in doing so they affect the level of economic well-being. The study of the political economy stresses the combined effect of factors in assessing the economic well being of a country and subsequently that country’s attractiveness as a destination for foreign direct investment. In light of this, it is expected (and even encouraged) that you will overlap and integrate your discussion around the different components of political economy (e.g. the connection between political decisions and economic management being the most obvious overlap. You will find that the following reading (located in Short Loans Online) is an excellent initial source of information on the political economy: Hill, C. (2007) International Business: Competing in the Global Marketplace 6/e. McGraw-Hill Irwin, New York, Chapter 2 (National Differences in Political Economy). Formatting, submission and word count – Size 12 font (Arial or Times New Roman) and 1.5 line spacing. You are required to submit this assessment electronically through Turnitin. No hardcopies are required. The word count of your case study analysis is 1200 words +/- 10%, excluding executive summary, table of content, appendices, tables, and references. You are required to demonstrate your ability to keep within the recommended range of words while still providing a comprehensive analysis of the case.

Unclear introduction and conclusion and uneven or illogical discussion of key aspects of the political economy of the selected country Clear introduction and conclusion, with some organisation around the political economy, but uneven discussion of key issues.

your job will be to find information on your chosen topic. You may use any
source of information (just like a detective) you can find. For each source,
you will need to determine the validity of the information you have achieved.
Although the natural inclination will be to go straight to Wikipedia, you will
need to dig further into this case. The purpose of this project is to get you
to think about workplace violence in the world.
Specifically,
you will find your own case of workplace violence. Once you have located a suitable
case and received permission to you it, you will then develop a profile of (1)

this
