First of all, the answer must first be rounded down to prominent nations in Europe during this time that attempted to practice imperialism. These include Russia, the United States, Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Russia and Austria-Hungary practiced similar forms of imperialism, simply expanding into the immediate nearby nations. The "winners of imperialism would first and foremost include Great Britain, who took over approximately 1/3 of the globe at one point, had an extremely populous and powerful overseas empire, and commanded great profits. France comes in next, owning vast portions of Africa and pieces of Asia. The "losers" would first include Austria-Hungary, who definitely achieved minimally. Portugal and Spain both obtained small amounts of territory due to their poor economies, Spain especially losing parts of its empire to America after the 1898 Spanish-American War. Italy is prominently known as the biggest loser; it invaded Ethiopia, and failed, owned no land in Asia, and had one major colony, Libya, which was unprofitable and continually rebelled. Germany was a very powerful nation, yet it failed to gain mus territory for joining the game too late, thought Germany's incredibly able prime minister Otto von Bismark commented that imperialism was a waste of time. Belgium and the Netherlands may also be seen as "winners", both taking territory of a size far greater than their own nation, both of which were highly profitable. Russia would probably be on neither side, having owned a vast territory and much imperialism yet not much of it was incredibly significant. Now, the United States owned little territory, only some in the Pacific and the Caribbean, which was a small amount for the strength of the country, but the nation was typically opposed to imperialism and what it got was VERY profitable, and truly all that the nation desired. So true winners would be Great Britain and France, while losers would be Italy and Austria-Hungary.
There are many obstacles for citizens in the developing nations when they start a business.
1.Inability to access credit facilities. This limits the extend of business growth as it cannot expand for lack of funding.
2.The poor national economy has made many people languish in poverty due to unemployment. With unemployment, the purchasing power of the populations is very small, and no business can thrive in such an environment.
3. Poor road network makes transportation of goods and services rather difficult, so business is greatly hampered and disadvantaged.
4. Inflation is also a problem for such businesses as it contributes to stagnation and uncertainty of daily cash flow.
Answer:
A) Dedicated resources for compliance of standards.
Explanation:
As per the question, all the given options could be regarded as 'effective compliance program policies' except for the 'few dedicated resources for compliance of standards' in the matters of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as they are significant to ensure the standards of FCPA. The other three options display quite beneficial compliance program policies as 'experienced personnel in compliance functions' help in the effective functioning of the policies, 'the independence of compliance personnel in management' provide them with enough authority to make decisions and 'unclear reporting structure for compliance personnel' assists in producing effective reports. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
Using the cost-benefit analysis table to answer the question: should Mis. Baxter allow her students to take an open-book test the best option to fill the blank pace is: Mrs. Baxter may have to reteach the material.
Explanation:
First of all, let's analyze the context and the answers.
In this case, let's consider the first option. It doesn't matter if the students obtain better results if she instead applied a closed-book test. Increasing the notes the students would obtain wouldn't mean they learned the correct answer. But that they know how to find information. So it is the most logical considering the cost-benefit analysis.
The second option says that Mrs. Baxter wouldn't need to proctor the exam. But just because it is an open book test doesn't mean students won't feel insecure about their answers and won't copy from classmates, so it's wrong.
Parents may be happier with grades. This could be a good choice but may is such an ambiguous answer that doesn't say anything. It is a tricky answer we have a 50% chance they would be happier with nice grades, but if asked her the reason they wouldn't be happy. So, it's wrong because, in the end, she didn't test their knowledge.
Fourth option Parents will encourage children to study. They could provide them reinforcement for good performance but not encourage them. They would encourage them if they performed badly. Also if they knew how they obtained it, they would definitely know they were not tested and would have a reason to be rewarded. So it is also wrong.
