Question: As the newly appointed Business Development Executive of the selected organisation you are required to study the business environment of the selected organisation and develop a presentation document for its management on the strategic management key business areas in order to achieve the desired competitive advantage and organisational goal. The presentation document should provide clear reference to the organisational context and application of relevant theory. The following areas should be included in the presentation: 1.1 Provide an introduction and organisational background. (6 marks) 1.2 For many years, employee motivation was regarded as one of the most challenging areas for organisational productivity, hence a suitable panacea must be applied to address this concern. Managers are contemplating the implementation of the Expectancy Theory and Equity theory to address employee motivation challenges. Compare and evaluate the Expectancy Theory and Equity theory, as suitable approaches to motivating the diverse employees in your organisation. (25 marks) 1.3 Managers of different business units or departments are not pulling together and have been operating in silos, competing against each other, which is affecting the overall performance of the organisation and team work. In light of this challenge, research and critically discuss the strategic importance of team composition on the dynamics and cohesiveness of the work team. (24 marks)

1.4 In 2020, the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in a massive, unexpected, and sudden disruption to many organisations around the world. Organisations and employees have been forced to transform their operational routines virtually in a short space of time. This has resulted in unprecedented demands on managers to make decisions in very uncertain conditions. In times of crises such as these, employees turn to organisational leaders for information, which amplifies demands for effective communication of critical decisions. In general, in the "new normal" which resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, have seen many professional employees working from home. This presented a whole range of communication challenges. In response, organisations adopted technology-driven solutions, where they communicated time-critical information via multiple channels. Provide a critical evaluation on how your organisation effectively used technological advances in communication to share information with their stakeholders during the period of crisis. Use the communications process model as a basis for your evaluation, and provide strategic recommendations to improve the management of organisational communication in future. (25 marks)

1.5 A strong culture can be a sustainable competitive advantage, if not the only sustainable competitive advantage because it cannot be duplicated, unlike a product, price point, or delivery system. A healthy company culture provides an environment that supports stronger recruiting, retention, increased customer intimacy and loyalty, greater productivity, and an increased sense of employee ownership. High performance companies really work hard to identify, define and deliver the right culture that meets market needs. They spend a lot of time in creating the right organisational environment that not only attracts the right people, but also sets them up to successfully deliver on their strategy. Critically analyse the implications of organisational culture with respect to change, diversity and mergers and acquisitions. Each of the three aspects must be substantiated with a specific example obtained from the business environment of your organisation, own experiences and current literature. (16 marks)

1.6 Provide an overall conclusion of the presentation. (4 marks)

. Suppose that a market is composed of two firms that simultaneously choose quantities. Firm 1 has

22 a cost function C1(q1) = q1^2. Firm 2 has a cost function C2(q2) = (2q2)^2. The inverse demand equation

is

p(Q) = 100 Q Suppose first that firms are competing according to the Cournot model.

(a) Find the best response equation q1(q2) for firm 1. (5 points)

(b) Find the best response equation q2(q1) for firm 2. (5 points)

(c) Use your best response equations to mathematically solve for the equilibrium quantities q1, q2, Q, pi1*, pi2*

equilibrium price p , and profit for each firm 1 , 2 . You may need to use the calculator for this part. Write the answers either as fractions or as numbers round to the second decimal place. (10 points)

Now assume the two firms are colluding. (d) Setup the joint profit maximization for the colluding firms (also known as the joint monopoly

or cartel problem). (6 points)

(e) Solve the collusion profit maximization problem for equilibrium quantities q1, q2, Q, equilib

rium price p , and profit for each firm 1 , 2 . Suppose the firms split their joint profits in the following way: if is joint profits, firm 1 gets 0.65, while firm 2 gets 0.35. (10 points)

Suppose for simplicity that each firm can choose among only two levels of output: the Cournot level found in part (c), or the collusion level found in part (e). The objective is to write down a payoff matrix that represents the single period game in which each firm chooses the Cournot or the collusion quantity. To do that, you first need to:

(f) Find each firm's profits when firm 1 chooses the Cournot quantity while firm 2 chooses the collusion quantity. (7 points) (Hint: you need to first find aggregate quantity and price in order to derive profits).

(g) Find each firm's profits when firm 2 chooses the Cournot quantity while firm 1 chooses the collusion quantity. (7 points)

(h) Using the profits found in parts (c), (e), (f), and (g) as payoffs, write down a payoff matrix. Round profits to the closest integer. There should be two players, firm 1 and firm 2, and two possible actions for each player, namely producing the Cournot quantity and producing the collusion quantity. Solve for the Nash equilibrium in pure strategies. (10 points)

(i) Now assume that the firms play the previous game for infinitely many periods. In each period, they simultaneously choose quantities. They both discount future profits with a discount factor where0<1 so that total profit are 1+2+^23 = ... Suppose that each firm follows the "grim trigger" strategy, that is:

(i) Each firm produces the collusion quantity as long as the other firm does the same. (ii) Each firm produces the Cournot quantity in period t + 1 and thereafter if the other firm produces the Cournot output at time t. What is the value of such that collusion forever is an outcome of the repeated game? (12 points)

Proceeds from investing in Japanese bonds for one year = $1 * 100 (as per current rate) * (100% + 12% ) = 112

3.) Yen denominated proceeds in US dollars based on forward rates = 112 / 104 = $1.07692 (Approx.)

4.) Covered Interest parity condition states that interest rate difference in two countries should be offset by the exchange rate differences. Otherwise, arbitragers will undertake transactions and move the forces until the conditions comes true. In the given case also Covered Interest parity condition almost holds true as the interest rate difference is offset by currency exchange rate conversion and net returns in $ terms are almost same. No, we cannot make more money by investing in Japanese bond rather than investing in US bond.1.) Proceeds from investing in US Bond for one year = $1 * (100% + 8% ) = $1.08
