People feel motivated when they come across chance to experience achievement.

The Thai government chose to align with Vietnam instead of India in creating the rice price agreement because it believed this move would build its international rice market dominance. By collaborating with Vietnam which exports the world's third-largest amount of rice Thailand can gain better pricing control and solve their joint problem of rising production expenses. Market prices could experience substantial changes through collaborations between Thailand and Vietnam who stand as the second and third-biggest global exporters respectively.
The proposed agreement intends to reduce the financial pressure on farmers by boosting export prices since rice prices have stayed minimal for twenty years while production prices have increased. Thailand and Vietnam cooperate through this partnership to simultaneously boost farmer salaries and strengthen their market position in worldwide trade.
Multiple elements explain why India is not part of discussions taking place between Thailand and…

- Do you think Ms. Browne Sanders had the basis for a sexual harassment suit? Why? I believe that Ms. Browne Sanders did in fact have the basis for a sexual harassment suit because her claims of retaliation from management after coming out about the verbal abuse and sexual harassment from her superiors, to me, are proven by her being let go shortly after bringing them to light. Not only that, but the jury found her case compelling enough to award her the $11 million (Sandomir, 2007). Sexual harassment cases like this are hard to make due to the reliance on the credibility of those involved (the victim and the perpetrator), one of which has it in his best interest to deny the claims outright. This leaves the victim in a vulnerable situation where retaliation can occur, such as this, because of the “he said she said” nature of the issue. A study done in 2023 showed the decline of women who report their harassment from 66% the previous year down to 59% (Cox, 2023). This was…arrow_forwardDo you think Ms. Browne Sanders had the basis for a sexual harassment suit? Why? I think Ms. Browne Sanders had a valid basis for a sexual harassment suit against the New York Knicks and her coach. The jury found that she was harassed and that the Knicks retaliated against her for it. According to the New York Times article, the evidence used in court showed a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Thomas, and this created a hostile work environment for her. Sexual harassment cases often use circumstantial evidence rather than direct proof, as harassment usually doesn't leave much concrete evidence. The Employee Rights Attorney Group article explains that harassment is illegal if it changes an employee's work conditions, making it difficult to do their job. Browne Sanders’ case cleared this bar, as she lost her job after reporting the harassment. Her claims were credible because a jury determined that the Knicks organization failed to address the issue appropriately. Retaliation can also…arrow_forwardWhile the core responsibilities of a Training and Development Specialist are generally the same worldwide, there can be differences based on the location. In Mexico City, for example, the specialist may need to consider local labor laws, cultural norms, and business practices when developing training programs. They may also need to be bilingual, or even multilingual, to effectively communicate with employees. Additionally, they may need to have a deeper understanding of the local market and industry to tailor training programs accordingly. In contrast, a Training and Development Specialist in the U.S. may focus more on compliance with U.S. labor laws and regulations, and may not need to be as multilingual or have as deep an understanding of international markets. i need help understanding this more in detailarrow_forward

Limited global trade availability (only 7-10% of total production is exported). Currency fluctuations, freight costs, and government policies further threaten supply stability. 2. High Impact on Business: Rice is a staple food in Singapore, crucial for national food security. A supply shortage could lead to price inflation and food security concerns. Dependence on a few key suppliers makes supply chain diversification challenging. Procurement Strategy for Singapore: Diversify sourcing (e.g., increase imports from Myanmar). Invest in climate-smart rice research to improve resilience. Stockpile rice reserves to buffer against supply shocks. Strengthen trade agreements with key exporters like Thailand and Vietnam.
