“It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy’s one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two. If equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.” Discuss and evaluate the influence of the above Sun Tzu’s principle on the adopted competitive strategy of Huawei to compete against established Western telcos in expanding their market locally and globally.

Consider the following Bargaining game, where each player tries to maximize his own number of coins. Player A starts the game with 3 coins and Player B starts with 1 coin. Player A needs to decide how many coins to give to Player B. Player A moves first, and makes an offer to Player B. Player B observes the offer, and then chooses to accept or reject the offer. If player B rejects the offer, the game is over: Player A loses all his 3 coins and player B losses his 1 coin (both players end up with zero coins). If Player B accepts the offer, the game is over: Player B keeps his original 1 coin plus the coin(s) offered by Player A, while Player A keeps the coin(s) he did not offer to player B. In the subgame perfect equilibrium of this game: Select the right option from below Player A offers zero coins to Player B Player A offers one coin to Player B Player A offers two coins to Player B Player A offers three coins to Player B Player A plays a mixed…
Consider the following card game. The player and dealer each receive a card from a 52-card deck. At the end of the game the player with the highest card wins; a tie goes to the dealer. (You can assume that Aces count 1, Jacks 11, Queens 12, and Kings 13.) After the player receives his card, he keeps the card if it is 7 or higher. If the player does not keep the card, the player and dealer swap cards. Then the dealer keeps his current card (which might be the players original card) if it is 9 or higher. If the dealer does not keep his card, he draws another card. Use simulation with at least 1000 iterations to estimate the probability that the player wins. (Hint: See the file Sampling Without Replacement.xlsx, one of the example files, to see a clever way of simulating cards from a deck so that the Same card is never dealt more than once.)
ABCar Co is a new type of car company. They hire various subcontractors namely DesignCar Ltd., who designs the cars, ManuCar Inc., who manufactures the vehicles, and TestCar Co., who tests the cars before they are put into full production. Recently, ABCar Co has received many complaints about the failure of the braking system. There is a dispute between ABCar Co, DesignCar Ltd., ManuCar Inc., and TestCar Co. as to who is responsible for the problem and who must bear the cost to fix it. Referring to the dispute resolution mechanisms you explained in question 3 (a) (you don't need to reproduce the information), which dispute resolution mechanism would you select to resolve this dispute and why would you select it? Why would you reject the other ones?

Two firms in the chemical solvent industry decide to merge. Employees in the testing department of firm A have enjoyed high pay for many years. However, firm A is purchased by firm B who has a history of paying low wages. As a result, employees in firms A's testing department earn on average $1.00 more per hour than those at firm B. Upon completion of the merger, what wage levels should prevail? Should wages be cut for those who worked for firm A? Or, should wages be increased for those in firm B?
Recently, while eating lunch with your family at a local cafeteria, you observe a practice that is somewhat unusual. As you reach the end of the cafeteria line, an adding machine operator asks how many persons are in your party. He then totals the food purchase on the trays for all of your family and writes the number of persons included in the group on the adding machine tape. He hands you the tape and asks you to pay when you finish eating. Near the end of the meal, you decide you want a piece of pie and coffee so you return to the line, select your food, and again go through the line. The adding machine operator goes through the same procedures, but this time he staples the second tape to the original and returns it to you. When you leave the cafeteria, you hand the stapled adding machine tapes to the cash register operator, who totals the two tapes, takes your money, and puts the tapes on a spindle. a. What internal controls has the cafeteria instituted for its operations? b. How…
Please apply Kohlberg's model to the following scenario. Analyze what you would do, then determine where that places you in the Kohlberg's model. You are confronted with the following situation in the work place: It has become known to you, by the actions of the leaders of your department, that in order to gain a competitive advantage over your rivals in the industry, management has created a fake entity to acquire a product that they could not purchase from the competitor otherwise. It is the intent of management to dissect the product in order to make your product more appealing thereby enticing consumers to prefer your product. You work in the accounting software industry and you are an Accountant. What would you do?
A patient consult a doctor to check up his ill health. Doctor examines him and advises him that he is having deficiency of two vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin D. Doctor advises him to consume vitamin A and D regularly for a period of time so that he can regain his health. Doctor prescribes tonic X and tonic Y, which are having vitamin A, and D in certain proportion. Also advises the patient to consume at least 40 units of vitamin A and 50 units of vitamin Daily. The cost of tonics X and Y and the proportion of vitamin A and D that present in X and Y are given in the table below. Formulate the model to minimize the cost of tonics (Table in picture attached)
Consider a cheap talk game in which Nature chooses the sender’s type andthere are three feasible types: x, y, and z, which occur with probability 1/4, 1/4,and 1/2, respectively. The sender learns her type and then chooses one of fourpossible messages: m1, m2, m3, or m4. The receiver observes the sender’smessage and chooses one of three actions: a, b, or c. The payoffs are shown in the table below. a. Suppose the sender’s strategy is as follows: (1) if the type is x, thenchoose message m1, and (2) if the type is y or z, then choose messagem2. The receiver’s strategy is the following: (1) if the message is m1,then choose action a; (2) if the message is m2, then choose action b;and (3) if the message is m3 or m4, then choose action a. For appropriatelyspecified beliefs for the receiver, show that this strategy pair is aperfect Bayes–Nash equilibrium.b. Find a separating perfect Bayes–Nash equilibrium.
Joe, a Welding employee in your steel manufacturing company, has been employed with you for 17 years and works full-time. He is known to suffer from sleep apnea. He has a CPAP machine that was prescribed following an overnight sleep study and discusses his progress with his sleep specialist and primary care physician. Joe's inability to get a good night's rest causes him to be groggy and tired in the mornings. This tiredness / exhaustion causes Joe to be tardy to work on an almost daily basis. Your manufacturing company works 3 shifts and it's a very firm, set shedule (7a-3p, 3p-11p, 11p-7a). If Joe shows up at 7:01am, he's considered late and gets attendance demit points. Joe senses his job may be at risk, and shows up in your office requesting FMLA paperwork. He shares that he'd like to take FMLA everyday from 7a-8a. Take 300 words to share your next steps, thought process, potential solutions, etc. Utilize and quote laws, regulations, best-practices, etc.
