Strengths A company’s strengths refer to what it does well to give value to the company. If a company’s resources and capabilities enable the firm to exploit an external opportunity and to neutralize an external threat, then those resources and capabilities are considered valuable, and are considered to be strengths (Barney & Hesterly, 2015, p. 67). Core competencies. Core competencies have been defined by Hitt, Ireland & Hoskisson (2007) as the “resources and capabilities that serve as a source of competitive advantage for a firm over its rivals (p 17).

Socio-culture is concerned with a society’s attitude and cultural values (Hitt et al., 2007, p. 47). Barney and Hesterly (2015) define culture as the values, beliefs, and norms that guide societal behavior (p. 30). 1. Transgender issues.

North Korean crisis. In a CNN report the Pukguksong-2, previously unpublicized part of its arsenal which North Korean state media described as a medium long-range ballistic missile, was test fired on Sunday under the supervision of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to North Korea's Korean Central News Agency, KCNA. North Korea is prohibited from carrying out ballistic missile launches under UN Security Council resolutions aimed in part at curbing the country's development of nuclear weapons (Almasy & Berlinger, 2017). The missile was shot into the Sea of Japan and thought to be a warning for Japan. 2. President Trump’s immigration order. New York Times reported shortly after taking office President Trump approved a sweeping executive order temporarily stopping all refugees to the US for 120 days. Syrian refugees were bared indefinitely a 90 day block from seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen (Liptak, 2017). 3. Continued threat of terrorism. The House Homeland Security Committees report for February states that the terrorism forecast for 2017 is “alarming” (Singman,
America has been a proud nation and has always allowed immigrants from all over the world to come in. President Donald Trump has been working on trying to keep America safe, so he is trying to send away potential terrorist immigrants, such as Syrian Refugees, because he believes that this will stop all terrorist attacks on America. Trump signed three executive orders during the week of January 23, which threatened the rights of the immigrants and refugees that would want to go to America. There are 51 Muslim-majority countries and territories and Trump placed travel limits on seven of them (Murdock, 1). There has been a concern for stricter border laws. There are 205 million people affected by this and 1 billion people not affected by this
On January 27th, 2017, president Trump signed an executive order dealing with immigration. The order took effect immediately and sparked anger and confusion across the nation. Dozens of international travelers were detained at airports across the country. Most of those detained were simply caught up in a government communication limbo. The order placed a temporary moratorium on immigration from seven countries Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
Now, Trump has seen the threat of terrorists coming into America under the guise of immigrants looking for work or refugees looking for safety and has decided that, unfortunately, we would have to close of immigration and refuse refugees from the 7 countries that the Obama administration deemed as being connected to terrorism. The ban will last only for 90 days, as the vetting process is refined to keep out threats to the safety of American citizens.
The first problem implemented in the executive order Trump enacted was how the ban’s sudden effects took place . In the article “Trump Bars Refugees and Citizens of 7 Muslim Countries,” President Trump, “...closed the nation’s borders to refugees…[and] blocked [them] from entering the United States...suspending immigration...”(Shear, Michael). Trump places the executive order to ban these countries attempting to rid the country of any terrorists from entering. This action
Yesterday (January 27), President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning immigration from seven countries, all of which are predominantly Muslim. The countries in question are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. During the signing, President Trump proclaimed, "I am establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America."
President Donald Trump’s current immigration ban and coming legal actions to be taken on immigration began on January 27th, 2017, when he implemented a ban on aliens from the countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, to help secure the people’s lives and help prevent any possible terrorist threats or attacks to the nation. It bans all refugees for 120 days and bans all Syrian refugees indefinitely. The false accusation that many people believe is that this is banning all people from entering the United States. It still allows green card holders, special immigrants that work for the military, and dual nationals and diplomats to travel back and forth between the restricted countries. Many American’s don’t see that providing
On his seventh day of office, president Donald Trump signed an executive order that bans seven countries that are predominantly Muslims entry into the U.S.; some are temporary while Syria is the only one that is indefinite. Even during his campaign for the presidency, Trump made several promises on banning all Muslims so he could make the refugee laws stronger and the nation more secure. This order is based on seven countries that do not have any refugees linked with terrorism-related offenses that occurred on U.S. soil. America is a nation that holds ideals that every human being possess basic human rights. The United States is a nation built on those ideals and this executive order is in contrary to it. Donald Trump’s executive order against
On Jan. 27, President Trump signed an executive order on a travel ban for 90 days. The ban included seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, where travel to and from these countries was restricted.
At the same time, recent events as president trump's executive order on immigration indefinitely barred syrian refugees from entering the united states, suspended all refugees admissions for 120 days and blocked citizens of seven muslim-majority countries, refugees or otherwise, from entering the united states for 90 days. After the order was signed, students, visitors and green-card-holding legal permanent united states residents from the seven countries — and refugees from around the world — were stopped at airports in the united states.
President Trump signed an executive order (1379) to keep refugees from entering the country for 120 days and immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim nations out for three months. The countries affected are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia. This ban is commonly known as the travel ban or the Muslim ban mainly because all the 7 countries’ major religion is Islam.
The executive order 13769, Travel Ban was signed by our new president Donald Trump. For ninety days, the order adjourned the entry of specific aliens from seven countries such as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. These countries had already been identified as presenting magnified concerns about terrorist traveling to the

On March 6th North Korea fired four ballistic missiles that landed in the Sea of Japan. The missile test demonstrated North Korea’s increasing capability to develop long-range guided missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Although none of the missiles were believed to be an ICBM North Korea announced that it has been making significant progress in developing an ICBM capable of hitting the United States.
His executive order halted the entire US refugee programme and also instituted a 90-day travel ban for nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
