How does risk management change when an organization ‘goes global?’

There a 6 key risk factors when an organization goes global, these are:

1. Size market potential granularly based on local economics. The most common mistake is overestimating a particular market’s potential, based on your domestic context. Foreign markets typically have less information available and more variability in sales estimates, which is a setup for failure. Do more local homework and validate cautiously.

2. Assume large and frequent economic swings. The inability to accurately predict or prepare for sudden changes in the local economic environment creates risks for the markets you know, but can wreak havoc for global initiatives. These economies are often ill-prepared to deal with economic shocks. Double the risk may mean half the opportunity.

3. Currency exchange fluctuations can wipe out gains. The potential for large currency swings may change the way you need to manage transactions, specify contract terms, and project futures. Smart entrepreneurs have learned to lock in exchange rates, collect on transactions immediately, and pay indigenous organizations to hedge the risks.

4. Factor in basic infrastructure quality and services. The cost of doing business in any market is heavily dependent on local transportation, energy, technology, and financial services. These components can totally change your customer value proposition, or the business model that you have honed. Re-validate your business model in every market.

5. Evaluate the political climate and operational processes. Uber and Airbnb are current examples of entrepreneurial efforts that are struggling with government regulations in new markets. It pays to research markets proactively, and engage local experts to negotiate a path early, rather than reactively dealing with fines and tarnished reputations.

6. Honor cultural sensitivities and assumptions. Cultural traditions often dictate business roles, procedures, and customer expectations. The local culture affects not only the decisions an entrepreneur must make, but also how a market views the company. The best strategy is to engage people in the local market to manage your business there.

Anni [7]

Answer: The problem of this plan is that their income will not be able to break even, because their cost price will be grater than the selling price. Which may cause the new company to wind up

Explanation: break even is a point where the cost price is equal to the selling price. This means that profit nor loss were not made.

Because Avis and Hertz are offering rentals at a prices below average variable cost, the company may not be able to meet up with capital for production of more cars, and this will cause them to wind up.

For a new company, it is always advisable to keep it's selling price a little bit above or the same with it's cost Price, because the strength not any business is the ability to produce more to fill the space of scarcity.

Assume that a firm separately determined inventory under FIFO and LIFO and then compared the results. a. In each dropdown that f

marysya [2.9K]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

1. FIFO inventory > LIFO inventory

(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first or sold first so the remaining inventory are old inventory which is less costlier.)

2. FIFO cost of goods sold < LIFO cost of goods sold

(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first which are expensive so the cost of production is greater than FIFO.)

3. FIFO net income > LIFO net income

(Because cost of production is less under FIFO and the value of closing inventory is high, therefore the net income is also high.)

4. FIFO income taxes > LIFO income taxes

(Since, income is high in FIFO, therefore the tax under FIFO will be higher.)

b) Management would like prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices because Income shown in the company's Tax return will be higher if we use FIFO rather than using LIFO.
