The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core
of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires
the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust
interaction and dialogue.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to
allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate
to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage
in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will
be accepted after the end of each unit.

The Acme Company is exploring many strategic
options. Whichever global business strategy the Acme Company eventually
chooses, the firm inevitably will require the services of a bank to help
manage its working capital. Many major multinational banks provide a variety
of working capital and multinational cash management services.

Some U.S. banks also have international
operations. If your company acquired a company in another country, would you
choose to bank with a local bank in that country, or would you select a U.S.
bank with international operations? Why would you make this selection? A few
US banks with international operations are below:
