How can the new environment of global protectionism, (i. e.; increasing tariffs and trade restrictions) affect a firm’s strategic initiatives and how it may position itself to strategically succeed in this new environment. explain the strategic pressures of the firm’s industry (global, multi-domestic, transnational) and how these pressures would further affect the strategic initiatives in the new global environment.

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
