Q1. Refer to Reading #1 (M3R1). Hofstede argued that cultural differences manifest themselves in several ways. He used the layers of the onion metaphor to explain culture. Which of the following is the correct order from the core A to the outermost layer D?

• A: Symbol; B: Heroes; C: Rituals; D: Values
• A: Values; B: Rituals; C: Heroes; D: Symbols
• A: Values; B: Symbols; C: Rituals; D: Heroes
• A: Symbol; B: Value; C: Rituals; D: Heroes

Q2. The unit of analysis Hofstede uses to distinguish cultures is:

• Ethnicity
• Nations
• Gender
• Continents
• Social Class

Q3. Refer to Reading #1 (M3R1).

Different cultural values may affect motives for consuming a product (e.g., Sony Walkman). Please explain what this means. Then discuss why it matters to understand cultural values of the group of people to which you market your product

Q4. Refer to Reading 1 (M3R1) page 176. What is operational culture and why is this an important concept to understand? Please discuss

Q5. Do you think marketing messages must always be congruent with and reflect the values (e.g., collectivism) of the cultural group the messages are targeted to? Or do you think we can promote new values (e.g., individualism) and possibly reshape the cultural values of the group somehow? Please discuss .

Q6. Assume that you try to develop American football in South Korea by promoting various facets of the NFL as a brand: teams, football celebrities, television contents, merchandise, etc. These activities may be, however, referring back to Hofstede’s the onion metaphor, only dealing with the outermost layer of the onion, failing to reach the core/heart of the culture. Do you agree? Please discuss .

Q7. Read M3R2 – Who do these upstarts think they are? – The codes for America in Other Culture.

According to the reading, the code for America in France is “SPACE traveler” and in Germany, it is
“John Wayne”. Why is it important to understand how America is perceived (American codes) in other cultures? Please explain .

Q8. Refer to Reading #3 (M3R3). What is the main idea the author tries to present by sharing her experience of working with Mr. Bo Chen, a Chinese culture expert? Please discuss

Q9. Please discuss the main difference between high- and low-context cultures and its practical implication(s)

1. What is the third world?

2. What are the NICs?

3. In order to achieve economic development,less-developed counties applied two distinct mercantilist economic policies. Explain these two economic policies in less-developed countries.

this is a museum paper , you are going to write about picture I chose from Carnegie museum I have attached blow. please follow the instructions exactly this is really important step to do..

1. What is TCP/IP architecture? What is PDU and how does the model (TCP/IP) use PDU?

2. A TCP segment consisting of 1500 bits of data and 160 bits of header is sent to the IP layer, which appends another 160 bits of header. This then transmitted through two networks, each of which uses a 24-bit packet header. The destination network has a maximum packet size of 800 bits. How many bits, including headers, are delivered to the network layer protocol at the destination?

3. List and define briefly the types of operation provided by the LLC protocol. Explain the spanning tree routing method

4. Consider a baseband bus with 4 equally spaced stations with a data rate of 10 Mbps and a bus length of 1 km. What is the mean time to send a frame of 1000 bits to the third one from the first one, measured from the beginning of transmission to the end of reception? Assume a propagation speed of 200 m/μs

5. Develop a spanning tree for the configuration of Figure 11.15 (Page 360)

6. What is the principle of frequency reuse in the context of a cellular network? What are some key characteristics of the 3rd, 4th and LTE generation cellular systems?

7. Consider a cellular system that has the following characteristics. The frequency bands are 825 to 845 MHz for mobile unit transmission and 870 to 890 MHz for a base station transmission. A duplex circuit consists of one 30 –kHz channel in each direction. The system uses the reuse factor of N.
a. Find the reuse factor, N, using the 4th and the 6th number from your student ID
b. Find the bandwidth allocated for Mobile Unit and Base Transmission separately
c. Calculate the total bandwidth available for the system
d. Suppose that in the system, the cluster of cell is duplicated 16 times. Find the number of simultaneous communication that can be supported by the system.
e. Find the number of simultaneous communications that can be supported by a single cell in the system.
f. What is the area covered, in cells, by the system

Billy ordered two rooms of furniture from Rooms-To-Go. Billy paid the full price of both rooms. When Rooms-To-Go delivered the furniture to Billy, he said that he could only take one room of the furniture and asked Rooms-To-Go to take the other room of furniture back to their warehouse until he could take that room of furniture. Rooms-To-Go agreed to do that and placed the other room of furniture that Billy ordered and paid for in its warehouse. While the furniture was in the Rooms-To-Go warehouse, it was destroyed by fire. Billy asked Rooms-To-Go to refund the money that he paid for the furniture that was destroyed by fire, but Rooms-To-Go refused, claiming that the risk of loss was on Billy since he was the owner of the furniture that was destroyed by fire.

Does Rooms-To-Go owe Billy the money for the furniture destroyed by fire or is Billy out of luck?
