Answer:
B) False
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. Rise
2. Increasing
3. Rise
Explanation:
For example, the sticky-wage theory asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100. If the actual price level turns out to be 110, the firm's output prices will RISE, and the wages the firm pays its workers will remain fixed at the contracted level. The firm will respond to the unexpected increase in the price level by INCREASING the quantity of output it supplies. If many firms face similarly rigid wage contracts, the unexpected increase in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to RISE above the natural level of output in the short run.
The above explanation is the reason why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run

Answer:
(European) goldsmiths
Explanation:
European goldsmiths (Italian goldsmiths were the first) formulated a principle that only 5% of deposits were needed in reserve at any particular time, therefore they could lend 95% of the gold they held in deposit.
Goldsmiths would rent space in their vaults that allowed other people to keep their gold in a safe place. That led to transactions were notes indicating the amount of gold deposited would be traded instead of trading gold itself.
Eventually goldsmiths discovered that they could trade (lend) more money than the amount of gold they held in deposits, inventing fractional reserve banking.
Answer:
C, they analyze police reports about crimes reported by victims
Explanation:
Option A is wrong because is disregard hard crimes that conducted by blue-collar people (such as theft, store robbery, or even gang attacks).
Option B and D are wrong because 'Potential' victims do not always translate to actual victims, This will make the data that collected by the firm become misleading. They wouldn't find out the type of crimes that often happen in real life and wouldn't be able to design a proper solution for them.
Option C is the best choice from the available options. Even though it's not perfect. There are a lot of crimes that often goes unreported by the victims (such as domestic abuse)
