- Crowd farming platform Livestock Wealth is planning to establish presence in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region over the next year after growing its asset valuation to become a R100 million business. The fintech platform says it has seen increased demand for its investment products and services, particularly since the onset of COVID-19, as the pandemic fundamentally re-shapes the world of investment portfolios, with more South Africans seeking financial security.Developed by KwaZulu-Natal-born electro-mechanical engineer Ntuthuko Shezi, in 2015, Livestock Wealth offers people with no access to land, time or skills the opportunity to own livestock within a professionally managed farming operation. Through the Web and mobile application, investors are able to invest their money in cows and agricultural food products, rather than in unit trusts, shares or exchange-traded funds. In a telephonic interview with ITWeb, Shezi, who calls himself ‘cow executive officer’ of…The Story of Irie Inn Since 2020 market demand for better quality low-cost accommodation in Kingston, Jamaica has grown significantly due to a decline in global economic conditions; which has in turn led to declining incomes in many source markets. In 2022, Laura and Mike Reid developed a concept, called Irie Inn, which imitated the market leaders in several ways. The Reids franchised the new brand and now five Irie Inns operate within the Caribbean region. With intense competition from Days Inn, Express by Holiday Inn, and Hampton Inn by Hilton; Irie Inn has been slowly gaining market share. With a marketing objective ‘to be the customer’s only choice’ in the budget market, the Irie Inn brand team – who had complete control of all elements of the marketing mix – focused on setting and maintaining consistent brand standards. Properties that failed the brand standard’s inspections were de-branded and franchise agreements terminated. The Marketing Mix: Product – low-cost, mid-market…Lavazza: The Challenges of Foreign Market Entry 1.

- Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group is the world’s second-largest automotive manufacturer. In addition to theireponymous passenger car brand, Volkswagen Group is responsible for eleven other major cars,motorcycle, and commercial vehicle brands, including Audi, Seat, Skoda, Ducati, and Scania.While the global company has continued to post impressive numbers for both profit and marketshare, it appears to be facing a mixed outlook for the future.Both the United States and the United Kingdom are major markets for Volkswagen Group’s manyvehicles.

Throughout 2018 and 2019, the UnitedStates has repeatedly shown its willingness to place tariffs on goods imported from the EuropeanUnion. Until now, the automotive industry has not been subject to these tariffs, but there’s a veryreal risk that might change.On the plus side, consumer spending is growing across all…For 25 years every attempt by Pepsi to return to South Africa failed. But this time it may be different, analysts believe – thanks to a R24 billion investment that has little to do with cola. Parent company PepsiCo's planned acquisition of Pioneer Foods, known for brands such as Weet-Bix and Marmite, could mean Pepsi is on more shelves more often. Pioneer has a massive distribution network throughout South Africa – and the kind of relationship with major supermarkets that make for prime placement. Pepsico will almost certainly use the Pioneer Foods network to launch some of its products in South African supermarkets, says Schalk Louw, a portfolio manager at PSG Wealth. "Go into any shop, and compare how Coca-Cola is placed compared to Pepsi’s beverages. Coke has pride of place, while the Pepsi products will be right at the back, if in the store at all." Through the distribution of its bread and maize meal products, Pioneer also has a strong distribution reach among spaza shops -…With respect to Microsoft’s acquisitions, Skype and Nuance, discuss the strategic benefits expected to accrue under the following sub-headings: barriers to entry diversification The Case From humble beginnings in Gates’s family garage, Microsoft has grown to exceed $77.85 billion of revenue in 2013 and offer a product line extending from gaming (Xbox) and Internet services (Internet Explorer and Bing) to mobile devices (Windows Phones). In 2011, Microsoft diversified its product line yet again through acquiring Skype Global for $8.5 billion in cash. Although Microsoft had previously ventured into the Internet communications industry with Windows Live Messenger, Skype offered Microsoft broader device support, mobile video calling, and access to over 170 million Skype users, potential new clients for Microsoft’s existing products. Microsoft considered Skype a valuable acquisition due to the strategic fit between the value chain activities of the two companies. Moreover, Skype’s…

IB will grow primarily along regional rather than global lines. Powerful forces opposing further globalization and IB will slow their growth.

Based on this, one can reasonably conclude that these observers they anticipate that ________.

D) globalization is inarguably inevitable
