Evaluate the MNC’s historical interactions as well as the approach it chooses to engage in.

Case Study: International Strategy

Using your Multinational corporation (MNC) TOYOTA Manufacturing Company as your research company, analyze its involvement in FDI over the past 5-10 years. Evaluate the MNC’s historical interactions as well as the approach it chooses to engage in. Items you will evaluate include yet not limited to:

1. Examples of FDI the MNC engaged in and why

2. Host country evaluation (Costs and Benefits)

3. Home country evaluation (Costs and Benefits)

4. Trade Barriers? If so what?

5. Celebrations to report?

6. Your overall opinion on the MNC’s approach and if you believe its strategy was successful. Use one of the 4 IB strategies presented in class. Please also address WHY you took the position you took.

Resources to assist you to include the International Monetary Fund (IMF), The Bureau of Economic Analysis, Global Investment Trends Monitor Report, The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, World Bank Indicators, Doing Business Reports, and more.

briefly describe that molecule in terms of the atoms it is made of and potentially the chemical bonds that keep the atoms together. Is this a beneficial molecule to consume? Explain why.

Topic 2 Molecules in Food

Before preparing your response to this week’s discussion topic please watch this video, a crash course in biological molecules:

Pick a type of food that you enjoy. Before you start researching, state a hypothesis about the nutritional content of this food. Remember a hypothesis is an educated guess (and may be wrong), and a good hypothesis is specific.

Then summarize what you learned from your research. Include an image of at least one molecule found in this food and briefly describe that molecule in terms of the atoms it is made of and potentially the chemical bonds that keep the atoms together. Is this a beneficial molecule to consume? Explain why. Did your research support your hypothesis?

Do you think the methodology used to complete this study was valid?

Week 6 Discussion Forum – Deadly Force

Assigned Reading: Thistlewaite and Wooldredge, Part 1, Chapter 5, Deadly Force: What explains the variation in police shootings across departments? pp. 98-105.

After reading the article answer the following questions in a discussion posting:

 

1. Do you think the methodology used to complete this study was valid?

2. What limitations do you see, if any, in the way the study was conducted?

3. Do you think that the amount of variation in the number of police shootings revealed in the study is as significant today as it was in 1977? Why or Why not?

Describe in your own words what type of research situations call for a researcher to use an ANOVA analysis.

Before you begin the assignment:

 

Read Chapter 14 in your Beginning Behavior Research: A Conceptual Primer textbook and Chapter 13 in your Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics textbook.

Review the video tutorial for an overview of conducting ANOVA analyses in SPSS.

Access and open the Test Performance SPSS data set.

 

An overview of the data set:

 

This data set represents hypothetical data from a study that examined how background music affected performance on a math test. Specifically, participants were randomly assigned to take a general math test with rock music, classical music, or white noise playing in the background. Further, participants were classified as being either high or low in math experience based on the number of college math courses they had taken.

 

Here is some more information about the variables in this hypothetical data set:

 

Number: The ID number of the participant

Sound: The type of background music participants heard while taking the test; 1 = rock, 2 = classical, and 3 = white noise

Experience: Participants who had taken three or more college math courses were classified as being high in math experience, whereas participants who had taken fewer than three were classified as being low. 1 = high and 2 = low

Anxiety: Anxiety during the test, with possible scores ranging from 0 to 50. Higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety

Performance: Performance on the general math test, with possible scores ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better performance on the test

 

Questions:

 

1) Describe in your own words what type of research situations call for a researcher to use an ANOVA analysis.

 

Type answer below:

 

2a) Use the Compare Means function (AnalyzeCompare MeansMeans) to compare the means of the three Sound conditions on Anxiety and Performance.

 

Paste output below (Read carefully: The best way to do this is to select “Copy Special” when copying from the SPSS output. Then select image as a format to copy. When pasting in Word, select Paste Special, choose a picture format, and then resize the image so it fits the screen):

 

2b) Based on these results, on which variable does it most appear there might be significant differences based on the Sound condition?

 

Type answer below:

 

3a) Conduct a one-way ANOVA on both Anxiety and Performance using Sound as the independent variable. That is, conduct two separate one-way ANOVAs, one with Anxiety as the dependent variable and one with Performance as the dependent variable.

 

Paste the output below (Read carefully: The best way to do this is to select “Copy Special” when copying from the SPSS output. Then select image as a format to copy. When pasting in Word, select Paste Special, choose a picture format, and then resize the image so it fits the screen):

 

3b) Based on these results, were either of your ANOVAs significant? How can you tell? Use a cutoff level of .05 for your decision.

 

Type your answer below:

 

4a) Remember that in a one-way ANOVA, we are only looking at the impact of one variable on the dependent variable. Factorial ANOVAs, on the other hand, assess the impact of multiple independent variables. Conduct a factorial ANOVA on Performance using both Sound and Experience as independent variables. Be sure to choose the option to view the estimated marginal means (by selecting ‘EM Means’ instead of ‘Options’) for all of your main effects and interactions—this will allow you to more easily interpret the results.

 

Paste your output for only the Test of Between-Subjects Effects below:

 

4b) Write the results of the ANOVA. For help, refer to the ‘How to Present the Results of a Two-way ANOVA’ section of this webpage.

What depression-relevant behaviors were tested, and how they were tested

Hi this for a psychology class called “ Animal cognition” the idea of the writing is to find and summarize the paper from after the year 2000 that uses animal models of depression, which the full instruction by the professor is included below. It’s a half page summary of the paper you chose to read from google scholar based on the instruction below but you can go a little bit more than half page below the one page mark.

NOTE: Look for the instruction by the instructor below:-

Instruction by the instructor

Find and read one primary research publication from after the year 2000 that uses an animal model of depression. It must contain an assay of animal behavior. Be sure you understand the experimental method and can explain the figures and results (so best to pick a short, simple paper). Come prepared to describe your paper to the rest of the class.

Write a half page summary of your paper, including:

1. The full citation of your paper, including authors, title, journal name, etc. (use Google Scholar and copy the MLA formatted citation as shown in class a couple weeks ago).

2. A link to your paper.

3. What species was used.

4. What depression-relevant behaviors were tested, and how they were tested

5. What results were found
