Netflix began its journey of global expansion in 2010 when it first offered streaming service to Canada. Seven years later, the company’s service is available in over 190 countries. Information on Netflix’s global expansion can be found in the following articles.
Article 1: https://hbr.org/2018/10/how-netflix-expanded-to-190-countries-in-7-years
Article 2: How Netflix used partnerships and alliances to internationalize and then internalize the global streaming industry Download How Netflix used partnerships and alliances to internationalize and then internalize the global streaming industry*
(* To facilitate understanding, the concept of “internalization” mentioned in Article 2 is the same as “vertical integration” we discussed in the last module. It basically refers to the process in which a firm brings in-house the activities that were previously undertaken by external parties)
Please use the two articles as a starting point and draw on resources from the Internet to answer ALL of the questions below. Your responses must be closely based on learning material from this module and supported with factual evidence.
Q1. In what ways does Netflix make efforts to adapt to local conditions and preferences? Explain.
Q2. Do you think Netflix also tries to take advantage of economies of scale through standardization? Explain.
Q3. Based on your answers to the above questions, what strategy do you think Netflix uses to compete in the global market – international, global, multidomestic, or transnational? How does this strategy benefit Netflix?
Q4. What entry modes has Netflix used to expand into different foreign markets? Do you think its choices of entry modes were reasonable for the corresponding markets? Explain with examples.

Instructions
Create a 5-10 minute PowerPoint presentation with a voice over
Using PowerPoint, create a 5-10 minute presentation based on your research and findings.
For the company analysis (for Porsche) – you have 5-10 minutes to convince an investor to either invest or not invest in the company that you researched.
For the business plan – you have 5-10 minutes to convince an investor to give you the money that you are requesting.
TIPS
Be confident and be persuasive – you are the expert!
Do not use too many slides – 7-12 maximum.
Do not try to give too much information – the investor also has your paper to review.
Remember – less can be more so keep the slides simple, don’t use animations or fancy backgrounds – you want the investor to focus on the information and to make the decision that you suggest.
I know the powerpoint presentation requires a VoiceOver so if you just write up a script to go along with the powerpoint presentation, I can get that added myself once completed. Just make sure the script includes enough info to last the 3-10 minutes for the presentation.

Skill #1- Communicate well in multiple ways, modes and listen actively to those with whom you are communicating.
The design staff at Easy Chairs often complains that the team leader, Josh, is hard to work with, but they cannot do without him. He has great ideas and knows how to implement them well, but in terms of getting the work done the team complains he is a nightmare. Here is what his team has to say:
“We send him emails and he either gives us one-word answers, fails to edit what he sends, or fails to reply. Sometimes he tells two people to do the same thing not remembering he has given the assignment to someone else. The worse problem is that he prioritizes work in an email and then changes things when events interfere. Again, not communicating the change. Last week two of us edited a design for a custom front carrier basket for a customer whose deadline was this week only to find that Josh had changed the deadline to last week. The basket design that was completed by us both had to be adjusted to one design and the rear basket had to be done in two days. This meant long nights. Creating the printer design code takes time. We have tried to talk with Josh about things like this and he gets better for a while and then things are back to normal. He just doesn’t listen.”
Josh was asked about the team’s concerns and here was his reply:
“I spend a lot of time prioritizing and delegating job tasks to the team. I always ask people if they are clear about what they have to do and ninety percent of the time I get no answers. I have to assume they are fine with what I have said. I am the first to admit that I could be better about my emails. However, I often call people to check on what is being done or stop by to see if things are going okay. I don’t want to micromanage what they do. The problem last week is an example; I went to check up on the front basket design Don was assigned only to find that Joan was doing the same project (and not working on the rear basket as the schedule said). The customer called me with changes, including a deadline change, and I saw Joan in the hallway and told her about the changes. I did not tell her she was to edit the basket design. She just assumed that was what I was telling her to do. I went to Dan and gave him the changes. Why didn’t she say that I had gotten the wrong basket design person? I sometimes think that they are not listening to me.”
Dwight is curious about the communication issues that seem to be happening here between Josh and the team and wants to take action. He wants an email from you by the end of the week. It should contain the following discussion:
Directions:
By SATURDAY, complete the following:
Create an email to Dwight outlining, with enough detail, the approach you would take to resolve the team’s complaints.
Identify the communication issues that are causing problems with the team scenario.
Explain at least six techniques you would employ to make the communication better between Josh and the team.
Explain how you would communicate all this information to the people involved.
Use course material to support your responses and include APA in-text citations with a reference list.
