4. Critically evaluate two (2) different forms of manufacturing based geographic market development strategies? You should include both theory and examples in the answer.
Different forms of manufacturing based geographic market development strategies are:
Integration: In manufacturing based geographic market development strategies, integration is one of the important strategies to improve their market and develop their markets. Integration is further classified into horizontal integration and vertical integration. In case of horizontal integration, the manufacturing companies merge or acquire with existing companies in the new market and thus develop their market. Eg: Apple Inc. company entering into new markets with their laptops and smart phones. In case of vertical integration, different operations of business-like marketing, production and finance are integrated under single ownership and under same company. In this, the parent company acquires all the departments and manage under the same firm. Eg: Gas station company acquiring an oil refinery, FMCG companies acquiring branding and advertising firms
Diversification: In diversification, manufacturing companies enter or establish a new business unit which is of completely different from their existing products. This diversification can occur at either business level or corporate level. Diversification will be in two ways either concentric /horizontal diversification or conglomerate diversification. In concentric/ horizontal diversification, the company enters into a new market with a new product that is mostly related to the existing product offering. In conglomerate diversification, the company enters into a new market with a new product that is completely unrelated to the existing product offerings. Eg: Samsung entering into new products, banks entering into payment gateways.

3. A Two-Period Market. Consider a 2-period arbitrage-free market with 4 scenarios w1,w2, w3,w4, as indicated by the diagram below W1 u3 There are two tradable assets, Cash and SToCK; the first asset CASh is riskless and inflation- adjusted, so its share price is always 1, in every scenario. The share price of STOCK at times 0,1,2 in the different scenarios is as follows: (a) Find the risk-neutral probabilities p(wi) for...

Question 2 In this question, you will read two data files that
include integers into two different arrays – the same way we did in
class (but we are doing to arrays here). Duplicates are ok. 1-
After you read the data into the array (use one function that takes
an int array and a dsize by reference just like we did in class,
and call that from main to fill both arrays). 2- Include a
printArray function so that...

Problem 4-11 (Algorithmic) Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the company's needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows Supplier Component $10 $14 $10 $12$12 $10 Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient...
Answer 1-4 (#3 and #4 are tables)
shell provides stability to the atom. Different chemical bonds are based on the way in which the atoms fill their valence shells. The major types of chemical bonds include: ionic bonds covalent bonds (both types, i.c. polar covalent and non-polar covalent bonds), and hydrogen bonds. Atoms can use two strategies to fill their valence shell: they can share electrons between their valence shells, or they can give or take electrons from other nearby...
