Humanities dissociation 4

After watching the silent film The Great Train Robbery (link provided in the module), read more about the history behind its creation and how innovative it was for the time on this webpage at the Museum of Modern Art: https://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/edwin-s-porter-the-great-train-robbery-1903/

How does understanding more about the earlier experiments in film and cinema make you think about the psychology of watching movies or television shows today – whether in a theatre, at home, on a personal device?

Challenge yourself to get out of your 2019 mindset to imagine what the film viewing experience would have been like at the turn of the century.

Compose a post of at least five complete, well-written sentences

Humanities 10

10 A – Spend some time looking at Stieglitz’s The Steerage. Slow down and really look at the formal elements and composition of the photograph.

How does his formal approach to composing the photograph make this image more a work of Modernism than the Realistic approaches to photography we have seen earlier in the semester.

Remember to draw upon the Elements of Art and Principles of Design terms to support your position and aim for at least 200 – 250 words in your response.

10 B – After reviewing the material on Olga Nethersole and Loie Fuller, reflect on how these women’s artistic performances can be understood to be moving their respective fields into a “modern” period. Again, aim for at least 200 – 250 words in your response.

Globalization Case Study – Activity #5

Prepare a 3-5 page paper based on your on-line research.

You are a senior executive of a firm that is seeking to expand globally.  The CEO has tasked you to develop a Business Plan.  During this case study, analyze the product/service that you identified in Global Business Plan Activity #1.

For this case study, the CEO asked you to analyze the best approach for establishing the facility for your global product/service.  If you are studying a product, you might propose to open a manufacturing or distribution plant.  If you will provide a global service, you could study the best way to establish a call center or service center.  During this case study, apply and refine your preliminary plans presented in Global Business Plan Activity #2.

Review Chapters 8, 13 and 14 of your Global Business Today text.  Pay particular attention to the “Entry Modes” section of Chapter 13 (pages 363-371).  For each of the following entry modes, (a) describe the approach, (b) discuss the general pros and cons, and (c) analyze whether the entry mode might be a good choice (or not) for your product/service.  Use Table 13.1 on page 370 as a guide.

Exporting
Turnkey Project
Licensing
Franchising
Joint Venture
Wholly-owned Subsidiary
Finally, propose one entry mode for the country you have identified in your Business Plan.  Explain your rationale.
