Answer to Question 1

When managers are investigating the best entry strategies for their firms they consider many variables. They evaluate the goals and objectives of the firm, such as desired profitability, market share, or competitive positioning. Managers determine the particular financial, organizational, and technological resources and capabilities available to the firm. They also consider the unique conditions in the target country, such as legal, cultural, and economic circumstances, as well as the nature of business infrastructures, such as distribution and transportation systems. Managers evaluate the risks inherent in each proposed foreign venture in relation to the firm's goals and objectives in pursuing internationalizatio n. Managers review the nature and extent of competition from existing rivals, and from firms that may enter the market later. Finally, managers consider the characteristics of the product or service to be offered to customers in the market.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
