In some countries, consumer attitudes toward foreign products reflect their desire to protect the company’s competitiveness in the home market. Even governmental entities tend to protect the company’s competitiveness in the home market. To counter this protectionism, some organizations operate their foreign subsidiaries as independent units with minimum interference from headquarters and allow their foreign subsidiaries to take more responsibility, such as adapting designs and manufacturing product to meet local needs. Conversely, other organizations operate their entire international operations as a single, global-market segment and market the same product worldwide maximizing economies of scale both in production and research and development (R&D). Discuss the three primary models of international marketing that address the marketing mix:

ethnocentric
geocentric
polycentric 

Your discussion should include the following:

Discuss the three models and how they differ.
Describe whether a company markets a product or service influences the choice of one model over another.
Discuss how cultural differences may affect the choice of model. 

If you use sources to support your discussion, please cite your sources.

President in Trump has yet to complete his first 100 days in office and yet political pundits have begun speculation of potential challengers to his reelection in 2020. For this week’s discussion you are required to research a member of Congress (or a member of the Senate) that you believe based on his/her qualifications would be a suitable President of the United States in 2020.  In your post you are required to provide a minimum of three reasons why you believe the particular individual is qualified and would make a suitable U.S. President. Please note that if you select a candidate that identifies with the Republican party that candidate would need to defeat President Trump in the primary election as opposed to the general election.  
Discuss why at this early stage you would support this candidate and encourage him/her to run for the office.  Be sure to provide citation for this candidate to allow your peers to conduct research of their own on the individual.  
I encourage to you research specific committees the individual serves on; bills introduced or co-sponsored by the individual; outside government experience; potential support from one of the major parties; age; gender; race etc. 
In your replies to your peers discuss specifics that would prevent you from supporting the candidate they support.
