Not all resources of a given type are identical: Customers differ in size and profitability, staff differ in experience, and so on. This chapter will show you the following:

how to upgrade the quality of an entire strategic architecture
6.1 Assessing the Quality of Resources
Few resources are as uniform as cash: Every dollar bill is the same as all the others. Most resources, however, vary in important ways:
Customers may be larger or smaller, highly profitable or less so.
Products may appeal to many customers or few, and satisfy some, many, or all of their needs.
Staff may have more experience or less, and cost you high salaries or low.
A single resource may even carry several characteristics that influence how the resource stock as a whole affects other parts of the system. Individual bank customers, for example, feature different balances in their accounts, different numbers of products they use from the bank, different levels of risk of defaulting on loans, and so on. A resource attribute is a characteristic that varies between different items in a single pool of resources. These differences within each type of resource will themselves change through time. For example, if we lose our most profitable customers our operating profits will fall faster than if we lose only average customers.
Sorry but you need to answer this one bud. I would help you if I could but I don't know what makes you, well you. :)
Answer:
The answer is: B) It is a type of globalization that lies between total isolation and total globalization.
Explanation:
Semi-globalization is a term that tries to explain how the world is becoming one single market (globalization) but at the same time barriers still exist and are very significant in different markets.
A few years ago this term was used to describe situations that arouse in emerging markets, where governments were trying to protect internal markets while trying to export their goods to developed countries.
Now it has become more common for developed countries to try to set entry barriers for foreign products but at the same time expect other nations to receive their products freely. E.g. Trump's trade war with China or the Brexit.

Answer:
C. Fixed Interval
Explanation:
"Fixed Interval" is a type of <em>Reinforcement Schedule. </em>The "reward" in the situation above is the<em> salary given to the employees</em> during Wednesdays. As noticed, their productivity increases over the week, with the peak on Wednesday.
The<u> "peak" of productivity</u> is the<u> exhibited behavior during pay day.</u> They try to work hard in order to receive a salary. <em>They become more inspired to work during the salary day.</em> It is followed by<em> </em><em>less productivity on Thursdays</em><em> </em>because they have already been rewarded.
Such reinforcement schedule is called the "fixed interval." This also means that their productivity will not increase if they will not be paid.
So, this explains the answer.
