  • Case: United States Domestic Automaker, Ford

    • Nowhere are the effects of globalization seen more drastically than in the automobile industry, especially for the United States "Big 3" automakers: General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford.
    • Today, Ford faces a number of important questions.As the globalization of the auto industry continues, how should Ford market its vehicles?
    • And, how should Ford position itself, as a company, in the face of formidable competition?
    • While the future of Ford is uncertain, one thing is clear, globalization will continue to affect the way domestic and foreign companies do business.

  • Muscles that Cause Movement at the Foot

    • Attachments - Originates from the fibula and attaches to the big toe.
    • Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the big toe.
    • Actions: Adduct the big toe and maintains the arch of the foot.
    • Attachments - Originates from the medial side of metatarsals three to five.
    • Attaches to the medial sides of the phalanges of digits three to five.
  • Row and column proportions

    • Because these spam rates vary between the three levels of number (none, small, big), this provides evidence that the spam and number variables are associated.
    • When comparing these row proportions, we would look down columns to see if the fraction of emails with no numbers, small numbers, and big numbers varied from spam to not spam.
    • What does 0.139 at the intersection of not spam and big represent in Table 1.35?
    • One of those characteristics is whether the email contains no numbers, small numbers, or big numbers.
    • 1.40: 0.139 represents the fraction of non-spam email that had a big number.0.908 represents the fraction of emails with big numbers that are non-spam emails.
  • Tarsals, Metatarsals, and Phalanges (The Foot)

    • The foot contains 26 bones that are divided into three regions: the tarsals (or ankle and heel), the metatarsals (forming the sole of the foot), and the phalanges (forming the digits).
    • The tarsal bones of the foot are organized into three rows: proximal, intermediate, and distal.
    • There are four distal tarsals: the lateral cuboid and the three cuneiforms, located medially.
    • The digits are named in a similar fashion to the metatarsals, medial to lateral from the big toe.
    • With the exception of the big toe, each digit contains a proximal, intermediate, and distal phalange; the big toe lacks an intermediate phalange.
  • Fama-French Three-Factor Model

    • The Fama–French three-factor model is a linear model designed by Eugene Fama and Kenneth French to describe stock returns.
    • Like CAPM and the Arbitrage Pricing Theory, the Fama-French three-factor model is a linear model that relates structural factors to the expected return of an asset.
    • Unlike those two models, however, the Fama-French model has three specific and defined factors.
    • The Fama-French model tries to explain the return of a stock (r) through the risk free rate (Rf), the market return (Km), and small market capitalization minus big (SMB), and high book-to-market ratio minus low (HML).
    • Both SMB and HML measure the historic excess returns of small caps over big caps and of value stocks over growth stocks.
  • Disjoint or mutually exclusive outcomes

    • (a) Are the outcomes none, small, and big disjoint?
    • (b) Determine the proportion of emails with value small and big separately.
    • Big:545/3921 = 0.139.
    • (c) P(small or big) = P(small) + P(big) = 0.721 + 0.139 = 0.860.
    • Three events, A, B, and D, consist of outcomes from rolling adie.
  • From Political Values to Ideology

    • Core American political values general fall in line with one of three political ideologies: liberalism, conservatism, or moderate.
    • The Constitution is the foundation for the rule of law.
    • The emphasis on the lone, powerful person implies a distrust of collective action and of power structures such as big government, big business, or big labor.
    • The emergence of the Tea Party, a visible grassroots conservative movement that gained momentum during the 2010 midterm elections, illustrates how some Americans become mobilized in opposition to the "tax and spend" policies of big government.
    • Generally, peoples' values about the scope and purpose of government can be translated into three main political ideologies: liberals, conservatives, and moderates.

    • The concept of the "Big Five" personality traits is taken from psychology and includes five broad domains that describe personality.
    • Employees are sometimes tested on the Big Five personality traits in collaborative situations to determine what strong personality traits they can add to the group dynamic.
    • The Big Five personality traits are typically examined through surveys and questionnaires.
