Currency Exchange
It is time to delve into currency exchange and learn about some terms used in the field. We will start with a short video created by a former Chief Portfolio Strategist of a $50 billion investment advisory firm. There are many government, private, and public websites and databases that provide rich information on countries. This is your opportunity to use two companies’ resources available to the public for free.

Currency Exchange
Visit this Currency Analysis siteand see what data is available on the page. Select United States when asked Country. The landing page shows U.S. Dollar (USD) exchange rates compared to four other currencies: EURO, Japanese Yen (JPY), British Pound (GBP), and Swiss Franc (CHF). It also allows you to browse 147 currencies. For most currencies, the site will categorize:
Exchange Rate Regime
Level of Currency Instability
Yearly average rate (4 years)
Research and find out what these terms mean. Using the pull-down menu, select your UN Member State currency of interest. Research currencies (one at a time) from two total UN Member States (other than the EURO, USD, JPY, GBP, or CHF). NOTE: the countries analyzed here will not be used in other course assignments.
Provide information explaining the foreign currencies and how they are exchanged, the level of instability, and their yearly average rate. If the currency does not have information on all three categories, select another.

-In 750-1000 words respond to the questions at the end of your case using our class concepts to guide you. This will be a challenge to accomplish with this word cap, but I’m looking for evidence that you know how to decide for yourself which tools from class can help you answer an ethical question and show me that you can effectively deploy that tool. REMEMBER to actually answer the question rather than just “parroting” back the definitions of tools and frameworks. This is where you can show that you know how to efficiently utilize the skills you’ve mastered to answer tough ethical questions in a succinct way.
I suggest following a simple format for each question (one by one):
1) List a question from the end of the case.
2) Identify which tool (or tools) can help you answer the question and briefly explain why it can help. For example: “We can use ….. to answer this question, because …..”
3) Apply the tool/framework to the question at hand (keeping total word count in mind). Using the actual case, show the reader HOW you use the tool/framework to help you find a justifiable answer.
4) Give your final answer to the question.

please make sure you do the correlation analysis to gather some sort of weather

please make sure you do the correlation analysis to gather some sort of weather data that coincides with financial markets data based on time or geography also to explore the relationship between weather variables and financial market performance.
The objective of my research study is to investigate the impact of weather patterns influenced by climate change on financial markets, and the in-depth relationship between weather patterns and financial markets which can impact the market, investor behavior, and even influence prices. In today’s world, the economy is not stagnant or predictable. The world’s economy has globalized in ways that only data can explain. The world’s interconnectedness affects all parts of daily life- what stocks are up, why the price of avocados are so high, and how Somalian pirates are having an impact on American consumerism. The weather is constant in all markets. Such a volatile factor should be studied and analyzed, especially since year after year the weather and its patterns are getting more unpredictable, more unstable thanks to climate change. 
 
It is critical to understand the complicated relationship between weather patterns and financial markets. Weather influences investor behavior and provides insights into market dynamics and trading patterns. This knowledge can inform investment strategies and decision-making processes, enabling investors to navigate volatile market conditions more effectively. I’m going to design my paper by conducting a thorough review of existing literatures and academic journals on the topic to understand previous findings, methodologies, and potential theories to consider them in my paper. Then I will gather historical weather data and financial market data from the time I want. I will also look at both short-term and long-term weather patterns to capture different effects on financial markets this should include details on things like temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and humidity from different geographic regions, along with market indices, stock prices, trading volumes, and other relevant financial indicators. I’m also going to use Statistical Analysis such as correlation analysis to gather some sort of weather data that coincides with financial markets data based on time or geography also to explore the relationship between weather variables and financial market performance.  Some of the data sources I’m going to be using are Weather Data from reliable sources such as NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), NASA, or commercial weather data providers like The Weather Company. Also, for the financial part I can look into Bloomberg, Reuters, and Yahoo Finance. For the economic indicators I can check sources like the World Bank, IMF (International Monetary Fund), or central banks.

Challenge yourself this week!  I hope that you can offer some constructive feedback in the discussion this week to improve the class.  I also recommend reflecting on what you have learned over the last seven weeks.  After reflection, consider the things that you would like to change about yourself or your organization.  Committing to improvement is half the battle.
In closing, challenge yourself to make these kinds of changes in your life as well as in your business. A little change can go a long way. One does not need to develop a business plan to support a recycling program in a company (but it is still a good idea). In any event, best of luck in the class and I look forward to our interactions in the discussion this last week.

Case 1: Walmart: The Main Street Merchant of Doom

Case 1: Walmart: The Main Street Merchant of Doom
APA 7th  guidelines. Please answer the following questions:
1. What are the major issues in this case? What does Walmart’s experience tell you about the business and society relationship?
2. Assess Walmart’s corporate social responsibility using the four-part CSR model. For example, is Walmart socially responsible even though it has had a devastating impact on many small merchants?
3. What about Walmart’s impact on communities in terms of sprawl, traffic congestion, and impact on the environment’s appearance? What responsibility, if any, does the company have to the communities it enters?
4. Sam Walton has been called a motivational genius. After reading this case, and with what you have observed at your local Walmart store, do you think the associates still feel his motivational genius? What is the “Walmart Way”? How would you characterize the store’s culture now that Sam is no longer visiting the stores?
5. Walmart was an early leader in the area of corporate social responsibility. Is the company’s detrimental impact on merchants offset by the benefits of its recent corporate citizenship and sustainability initiatives?
6. Walmart continues to resist its expansion into New England and some parts of the United States. What are the true goals of the opponents of Walmart? Include a consideration of the following: (a) stopping Walmart’s expansion, (b) preserving the status quo (e.g., downtown community and social fabric), (c) developing a cause that will pay their bills, (d) fighting for an ideology, or (e) something else. What should Walmart do when it encounters resistance?
7. With Walmart now having to close stores due to the economy and/or competition, does it have any social responsibilities to the communities it is leaving? If so, what would those responsibilities be?
8. When you are the largest company globally, how do you protect yourself against the kind of criticism Walmart has received? Does it seem that no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to make things better?
