In his conducted reviews “Sectoral conflict and foreign economic policy”, Jeff Frieden examines the distinctive American domestic characters that played a major role on drafting the U.S foreign policy the period between the year of 1914 to 1940, he claims that the American foreign policy was a collective settlement that are pushed by two groups of bureaucratic actors that are clearly motived by contrastive economic interests. For example, he identified that despite the impressive enthusiasm that the U.S banks and corporation held, there are indeed other voices within the American political institutions that “had little interest in foreign affairs” and therefore afraid of foreign competitions and consequently opposed the export of American capitals: “The WWI was one with which we have nothing to do, whose cause cannot touch us.” He portrayed the U.S’s contradictory behaviors in the interwar period by investigating the origin of both groups’ fundamental desires that turned out to be the extremely uneven distribution of international economic interests, whereas “overseas assets were accumulated by a very concentrated set of economic actors.” The major money-center investment and comical banks were highly international because they were the representatives for the progressive technology industries, and that the WWI has satisfactorily strengthened the overseas economic interests enormously. Hence, they advocate for more political involvement by the United States in world affairs…

(2005) developed walkability index (WI) to measure the characteristics of the physical environment that contribute to walkable neighbourhood design. Leslie et al. (2007) adapted the WI to Australia. WI for these studies contains four main data components. The first component is residential density which is the number of residential units per particular areal unit within a neighbourhood. A high residential density value shows that more people live in the area. The second data component of the…

societies are unified globally, through political, social, cultural and economic changes. The significance of this term for the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in summary, is that economic interdependence is increasing among all countries.

Globalization is not limited only to economic but a technological, social and cultural process on a large…

Since CBPTT only accept integer, comma and x as constraint input. This input was converted to get the constraints information. Based on pizza ordering system, there were three constraints which is vegetarian cheese with roasted chicken, vegetarian cheese with ground beef and meat lover and mushroom. To convert this input into constraint input format, the index of each value must be known. Table 3.6 shows the index of each parameter value of pizza ordering system. Table 3.6 System index…

higher probability of turnover. Higher power distance index is correlated with lower probability of turnover, meaning CEO is more secure and is being challenged less. Long Term Orientation leads to a lower probability of turnover. Having a long term orientation decreases as it gives CEO more time to improve her performance and makes decisions that may have negative effects in short term and positive effects in long term on firm’s performance. Being in a civil law country decreases the…
