The correct answers are the following:
a - 4 Sunk
b - 5 Opportunity
c - 3 Fixed
d - 2 Variable
e - 6 Incremental
f - 1 Recurring
g - 7 Direct
h - 8 Non-recurring
Explanation:
a) <em>Sunk costs</em> are those that have already occurred in the past and they can not be recovered again so therefore that they are not relevant at the time of taking decisions regarding the futue.
b) <em>Opportunity costs</em> are those that try to measure and show the sacrifice done at the time of making a decision when that sacrifice represents the best second option that the person could have done.
c) <em>Fixed costs</em> are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.
d) <em>Variable costs</em> are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.
e)<em> Incremental costs</em> are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.
f) <em>Recurring costs</em> are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.
g) <em>Direct costs</em> are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.
h) <em>Non-recurring</em> costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.

Explanation:
Glocalization is a term that combines both globalization and localization. It was first used during the 1980s in Japan to define a way of thinking and developing business strategies: think locally and act globally.
Back in the 1980s Japan's economy was booming, it was the second largest economy in the world and Japanese car manufacturers and technological firms were wiping out the competition. This term refers to the western interpretation of Japanese business strategies of that decade, of selling similar but differentiated products everywhere.
E.g. American car manufacturers used to complain that Japanese consumers wouldn't buy their cars in Japan, but they simply had the steering wheel on the wrong side and Japanese consumers were not willing to even try them for that reason.
Luckily, things have changed and American companies also realized that their reality is not necessarily the reality of the rest of the world, and you must adapt your products to different markets.
Answer:
1. The major issue in the process is the lack of communication between different parties. The process being manually driven, might affect the customer satisfaction and lead to lost sales. The changes which need to be made is to make available the price information of different items at once, when the customer comes in to place an order. This can be made possible by asking the suppliers to send the updated sheet every morning before the day's business begins. It will be better if the entire uncatalogued as well as the price sheet is in electronic form, which can be updated immediately, as soon as the information is received from supplier in the morning. One better alternative is to connect the suppliers through an ERP so that their price might reflect at the company's end as soon as it is updated, It will reduce much hassle and mistakes that might creep in due to manual process.
2. a. The number of customers leaving per day / week to competitors due to inefficiency.
b. Total average delay in customer's order.
c. Customer satisfaction rating of the process as this will give the overall picture of customer's opinion about the company.
3. The information system might enable the suppliers to update their information each day which can then be used by the company reps to find out the right price of an item and enable him /her to provide the estimate immediately, leading to greater customer satisfaction, reducing the lost sales and eliminating the chances of a wrong quote being given.
