Answer to Question 1

Managers can influence the ethical behavior of their direct reports in the following ways:
 Take actions that develop trust.
 Act consistently.
 Be truthful and avoid white lies and other actions designed to manipulate people by giving a false impression.
 Demonstrate integrity by keeping confidences and showing concern for others.
 Meet with employees to discuss and define what is expected of them.
 Ensure that employees are treated equitably.
 Adhere to clear standards that are seen as just and reasonable.
 Respect employees, showing openly that you care and recognize their strengths and contributions.

Answer to Question 2

There are a number of advantages to using locals to staff international subsidiaries. Using locals may lower labor costs, demonstrate trust in local citizenry, increase acceptance of the company by the local community, maximize the number of options available in the local environment, lead to recognition of the company as a legitimate participant in the local economy, and effectively represents local considerations and constraints in the decision-making process. However, using locals may make it difficult to balance local demand and global priorities, lead to postponement of difficult local decisions until they are unavoidable, may make it difficult to recruit qualified personnel, and may reduce the amount of control exercised by headquarters.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
