Creating international advertising campaigns, coordinating media buys, hiring advertising agencies; and/or developing promotional budgets requires time and skills. Worldwide marketing team must be aligned in order to tailor global communication strategies. One of the reasons for failure are when the process is not managed properly or the areas do not have the system capacity or expertise in location. There have been a number of businesses lacking communication with counterparts around the globe and have chose to work in silos. Bridging gaps and delivering worldwide learning is critical. Challenges: Customer Data: businesses in the world are centralizing user data, it is common to find that a country has it own data storage technology. There could be some differences in their law which might imply that information can not be shared. There would have to be worldwide apps implemented in specific markets.It also can be time-consuming to agree on a budget when dealing with worldwide advertising campaigns. It could be challenges when it comes to the business showing strong ROI evidence. The key is to show the historical expenses of each region’s campaigns when working against the price of a single estimate of execution with local authorities.

Amazon is known for having a very efficient and effective supply chain that delivers their products right the first time. Suggest at least three (3) logistical challenges a domestic company must consider prior to pursuing a global trade strategy.

Part 4: Please comment and give your opinion on the student post below. Please answer the the question in a min of 100 words. (Jasmine)

A domestic company must consider exchange rate fluctuations, security, and distance before pursuing a global trade strategy. Since the exchange rate can fluctuate, companies sometimes choose the fastest distribution method to secure the needed profit. If distribution is handled too quickly and not efficiently, it could result in delivery issues. Security is a challenge in a risky environment. It is a major concern in a country with lots of theft and war occurring. Distance is the most common challenge because the further the product must be shipped the cost increases. For example, when ordering something off Amazon, the shipping fee is higher for an item coming from overseas versus domestically. After those three challenges are addressed, the company can make an informed decision choosing the mode of transportation.

Using Technology to Improve the Future

As addressed in the readings, technology has the potential to both solve global social problems and make them worse. For example, technological devices that can interact with the environment have the potential to reduce world hunger by helping to increase food production in developing countries. However, some technological advancements—such as weapons of war and automated assembly lines—can threaten life through armed conflict, and pollution of the environment can increase poverty by eliminating jobs.

Do advancements in technology pose any direct and/or indirect threats to the global environment? Choose one advancement and provide two examples of direct or indirect threats in your explanation.

Be sure to inform your response with facts from sources. Use our ebook/textbook each week and at least one scholarly outside source. You must cite sources in-text and give a full citation at the end of your response.
