profit of $535,000 if competition is low. The face shield, on the other hand, is reusable
and has the potential of generating a fixed profit of $402,000 irrespective of high or low
competition. The probability of high competition is 66% while that of low competition is
E34%.

- ETHICAL DILEMMA "We must get it," Erickson Santos, president of Industrial Fasteners, roared. "Without it, we're in big trouble." The "it" Mr. Santos referred to is the renewal of a P20 million loan with Manila First Bank. The big trouble he fears is the lack of funds necessary to repay the existing debt and few, if any, prospects for raising the funds elsewhere. Mr. Santos had just hung up the phone after a conversation with a bank vice-president in which it was made clear that this year's statement of cash flows must look better than last year's. Mr. Santos knows that improvements are not on course to happen. In fact, cash flow projections were dismal. Later that day, Timothy Dela Cruz, assistant controller, was summoned to Mr. Santos's office. "Dela Cruz," Santos barked, "I've looked at our accounts receivable. I think we can generate quite a bit of cash by selling or factoring most of those receivables.

In theory, the liability of foreignness makes IB activity too expensive. In practice, companies offset this liability by capitalizing on their unique advantages as well as selecting the mode of international business that best reflects their resource profile and risk tolerance--Always in the effort toward minimizing the intrinsic higher costs of international operations. The higher costs of international operations, executives point out, are driven by things as varied as the cost of legally establishing businesses, real estate costs, customs duties, and translation costs.
