Critical Thinking
The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly changing global marketplace only those companies will be able to survive that will deliver products of good quality at cheaper rate and to achieve their goal companies try to improve performance by focusing on cost cutting, increasing productivity levels, quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).
Increased global competition leads the industry to increasing efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina, 1995). The changes in the present competitive business environment are characterized by profound competition on the supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006). With this increasing global economy, cost effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain competitive.
To meet all the challenges organizations try to introduce different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of organizations devotes its efforts to reduce the manufacturing costs and to improve the quality of product. To achieve this goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing firm’s leads to improvement of manufacturing performance (Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).

We are doing sneaker simulation. every week theres different round equivalent to year. So every week is a different year, and we have to do a formative assessment reflecting the game that has happened.
out brand focus on man and woman sneakers.
so for first week:
– we were thinking to go safe, with quality of 4 starts, lowest price, but (week2) then we find out our company did not earn any money, as customers tend to go for highest quality with high price, or just bad quality with low price
– for other sector of the business structure we tend to go safe,
– and we choose a safe supllier but with really high price and order delivery time is very long, but very reliable
– for the first week, we also spend some money on research and development, but did not see any result
Week2
– after the first. round we aim to do cost leadership, so we change our focus
– we also increased our stocks, and change to another supplier, with a shorter delivery time lower turnover bonus but higher distribution cost

Your assignment this week will focus on the case study HSBC in China (p. 563) .

Your assignment this week will focus on the case study HSBC in China (p. 563) . We revisit the country of China, this time to look at the financial and banking sectors. China acceded to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, which was important to integrate China into the global economy. The WTO requirements guaranteed China entry into the important financial sector, setting it on a course to become a financial powerhouse.
A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:
Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.
Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.
Reflecting on this week’s content focusing on ethical leadership, strategy, and alliances, develop an essay responding to the following questions.
How has HSBC adapted its global strategy to operate in China, both before and after China’s WTO accession?
Discuss HSBC’s strategy for entering and operating in other emerging markets. Where has it found success, and where has it faced setbacks? Why?
What are the pros and cons of HSBC’s “Managing for Growth” strategy?
For companies that are participating in Saudi Vision 2030, what strategies and tools might they adopt to manage political risks?
Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
Be 5-6 pages in length, which does not include the title page, abstract, or required reference page, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
Provides strong thought, insight, and analysis of concepts and applications.
Start with introduction stating the goals of the assignment concisely.
Provide a conclusion summarizing the result and overall thoughts on this case.
incorporate specific illustrations or proof to reinforce one’s argument.
Use University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least four scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
