How much of this submission has been generated by AI? *15% of qualifying text in this submission has been determined to be generated by AI. * Low scores have a higher likelihood of false positives. Caution: Percentage may not indicate academic misconduct. Review required. It is essential to understand the limitations of AI detection before making decisions about a student's work. We encourage you to learn more about Turnitin's AI detection capabilities before using the tool. Frequently Asked Questions What does the percentage mean? The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI. Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that the score is less reliable. However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in greater detail according to their school's policies. How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives? Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue on the submission text. Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the percentage shown. What does 'qualifying text' mean? Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated. In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student. Disclaimer Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

Introduction Doing business in North America holds immense significance due to its economic dynamism, cultural diversity, and complex regulatory landscape. According to Silvestre and Fonseca (2020) some of the factors trade agreements that promote environmental stewardship, corporate sustainability strategies, economic challenges, collaborative leadership, and the imperative of cultural sensitivity. Camilleri et al. (2023) agrees that these underscore the strategic significance of understanding these factors for businesses operating in North America. It is therefore apparent that businesses operating in the region must uphold corporate social responsibility, consumer preferences, economic fluctuations, collaborative policies, and cultural diversity if they intend to achieve and sustain a competitive edge. The current essay aims to critically analyze the above factors by discussing how each affect business operations in the North America. Trade Agreements and Environmental Responsibility First businesses in this region are enabled by various factors including trade agreements such as the CAFTA-DR. This treaty outlines environmental standards and enforcement across the US and Central American countries (USAIDSV, 2010). It is primarily meant for environmental protections as it requires entities operating across the participating nations to observe environmental regulations, signifying a synergy between environmental preservation and economic growth. USAID's environmental cooperation program under CAFTA is therefore a vehicle, fortifying regulations, enforcement capabilities, and private sector collaboration. The program is backed by satellite imagery for monitoring of environmental status in the region based and make decisions based on data.

Such agreements among others characterizes an indication of a paradigm shift toward sustainable business practices. Industries in the region are therefore needed to embrace such sustainable practices as using renewable energy, sustainability consulting, or eco-friendly manufacturing (Warren, Moran & McGuffin, 2022). Such regulations and working with private entities aligns with a broader industry trend towards eco-conscious practices. The implications extend beyond mere compliance; they indicate a shifting landscape where businesses are not only expected to adhere to environmental norms but are incentivized to actively contribute to sustainability efforts. For instance, businesses in the renewable energy sector may benefit from increased support and market opportunities, whereas traditional industries might face pressure to adapt practices to align with stringent environmental standards. Corporate Sustainability and Leadership Impact A number of companies such as Frito-Lay have already put in place elaborate to ensure it adheres with ethical business practices by engaging in corporate social responsibility. Al Carey's presentation at Longwood University highlighted Frito-Lay's robust corporate sustainability strategies, which positions the company at the forefront of environmentally conscious practices within the food industry. He explains that Frito-Lay's strategy focuses on reducing sodium, unhealthy fats, and artificial ingredients while incorporating whole grains and fibers (Longwood University, 2010). In addition, their commitment to developing biodegradable packaging and enhancing energy efficiency demonstrates a holistic dedication to sustainability. These sustainable initiatives have a potential to positively impact consumer relations in terms of improving trust and loyalty to the brand. With consumers increasingly favoring ethically conscious brands, Frito-Lay's move toward sustainability resonates positively, enhancing brand perception and consumer goodwill. Moreover, these initiatives stimulate product innovation, driving the Page 5 of 10 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2791730098 Page 5 of 10 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2791730098

creation of healthier snack options and eco-friendly packaging, catering to evolving consumer preferences. Economic Perspectives and Business Adaptation Some studies on the Canadian economy depicts a nuanced landscape, expressing concerns about sluggish growth, high youth unemployment, lackluster business investments, and escalating household debt (CBC News, 2013). The housing market in the region as characterized by different scholars represents mixed opinions with some anticipating a correction while others see no imminent downturn. A sect of professionals acknowledges the challenges faced by Canadians, especially the youth, including high student debt, expensive housing, and limited job opportunities which is evidenced by 14% of Canadians expecting better lives for their children. Businesses operating in North America are faced with a number of economic challenges such as fluctuations in economic growth affecting consumer spending patterns and market demands in different industries (Thobani & Eugene, 2024). High levels of unemployment among the youth, on the other hand, might lead to reduced purchasing power and change in consumer behavior result in diverse sales and market dynamics. Moreover, uncertainties in housing markets have been associated with having effects on the real estate-related industries and consumer confidence, further influencing business performance. To navigate economic uncertainties, adaptive strategies including use of renewable energy and sustainable technology to cater to changing consumer preferences amid economic fluctuations (Raymond, Siamak & Tahereh, 2023). Additionally, fostering partnerships and collaborations within the industry can mitigate risks and streamline operations.

sustainable solutions are therefore pivotal in aligning with evolving market demands and North American Collaborative Leadership and Policy Transformation Collaborative leadership, as observed by some scholars, play a key role in promoting cohesive policies and transformative changes across North American countries. Mason (2011) observed that these efforts include forming alliances, pooling resources, and fostering consensus among nations, aiming for shared goals and collective prosperity. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of economies and the need for cohesive policies to address mutual challenges. Strong leadership and collaborative policies have a potential to reshape business operations across North American countries since such initiatives facilitate harmonized regulations, streamlined trade practices, and standardized protocols, easing cross-border business transactions. They encourage innovation, stimulate market competitiveness, and create conducive environments for businesses to thrive, fostering economic growth and stability. Business Engagement and Cultural Sensitivity Harmeling (2013) observed that the pursuit of the Hispanic market, especially the life insurance industry offers a number of opportunities associated by misconceptions and lack of cultural sensitivity. Cultural diversity has been established by many scholars to be associated with shaping consumers' perceptions, behaviors, and decision-making. For instance, misconceptions about life insurance characteristic of the Hispanic market is an opportunity for entities in the insurance industry to bridge the information gap and build trust by employing culturally sensitive approaches. Therefore, cultural competence can be argued to be significant factor in business outreach, customer engagement, and market penetration in this region and by extension any other Page 7 of 10 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2791730098 Page 7 of 10 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2791730098

market characterized by cultural diversity. Achieving cultural competence involves aligning business strategies with cultural values, norms, and preferences. Businesses as a result are needed to tailor their marketing strategies, language, and sales approaches, to resonate with diverse demographics if they want to establish deeper connections with customers. As industries venture into the global market and more specifically this market, they require an understanding of cultural nuances to allow for tailored approaches in marketing, product design, and customer engagement. It ensures that business practices align with local values and preferences, fostering trust and credibility within diverse communities. Conclusion This study has shed light on the nature of North America's business environment, offering insights into both the opportunities and challenges that entities may encounter when entering this market. Firstly, the findings indicate that ethical business practices, such as reducing carbon footprint, are not only beneficial for the environment but also align with emerging consumer trends, including eco-consciousness. Finally, the research has emphasized the need for cultural sensitivity in diverse outreach efforts.
