...Omar : B) Companies which voluntarily used diversity to develop themselves (Texas Instrument) * Companies are acknowledging the importance of diversity and inclusion to grow and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Currently, this is an imperative tool as corporations interact with different civilizations, suppliers and clients. Businesses that miss to acquire diversity might find themselves unable to maintain variety in customers, employees, and business partners. “ Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) designs and makes semiconductors, which it sells to electronics designers and manufacturers globally” (Texas Instruments Inc., tpics.nytimes.com). Until December 2011, it has operated in more than 35 countries. TI is one of many companies that adopted diversification development. According to Texas Instrument’s Founder Cecil Green "Getting ahead depends not on working people, but on working with people." (C.Green, 2011 Corporate Citizenship Report, www.ti.com). In that spirit, managers pay close attention to the safety, health and well being of the workforce to inspire innovation. This approach is essential to the long-term success of the company and applies to employees of all races, ethnicities, ages, genders, religious beliefs and sexual orientation. Texas Instrument recruited, educated and trained a diversified workforce resulting in global understanding, increased creativity, increased productivity, stronger customer loyalty, and employee retention. Hence, it has reached...

...Case 3 Texas Instruments October 17, 2012 1. Texas Instruments has held their position in the marketplace for government agencies and educational research facilities. Texas Instruments has never marketed any of their products in the retail marketplace. Texas Instruments had extreme difficulty competing in the emerging laser printer market, because of their long-term business with fortune 500 companies and government owned agencies. 2. Texas Instruments used the pull strategy to lure new customers to buy their laser printers, while pricing their laser printers below two thirds of the competitors’ laser printers. In the end, there was not enough product differentiation of Texas Instrument’s laser printers to make an impact in the emerging laser printer market. 3. One solution to the problem is to sign contracts with an original equipment manufacturer company like Compaq computers. Another solution to this problem would be to spend more money on advertising campaigns and promotion to office supply retailers to make a real effort using the pull strategy. One more solution to this problem could be to scale down production on laser printers and/or trying to sell that division of the company. 4. These solutions will be judged by the following criterion: Cost to implement Acceptability to employees Acceptability to shareholders 5. By signing contracts with an original equipment manufacturer, Texas Instruments would not have their name on the products, but companies...

...years, I want to be working in the human resources department at Texas Instruments. I specifically want to be an HR Business Generalist because it is more closely tied to the business and business strategy at Texas Instruments than some of the other human resources jobs there are. This position seems like it would be a great fit for me because I am extremely interested in the business strategy of a company and how the people working for the company can directly influence how successful a business is. I want to be in Dallas, Texas at Texas Instruments’ main office where I can get the most enriching experience. However, after I have learned as much as I can at the Dallas office and when I am comfortable with my position, I want to move to the Houston office because Houston is where I grew up and it is where I want to raise a family. In five year, I want to be working in the human resources department at Texas Instruments. I want to start out in their Compensation position within the HR department. My major is in accounting and I like to work with numbers, so I believe the Compensation position would be a good starting point for me. I have also been advised that this position is a great HR position to begin with, especially if you want to work your way to the HR Business Generalist position, because you learn a lot about the company and their financing. I would like to be in the Dallas office, because this is Texas Instrument’s main office in the United States and it is where I...

...It’s not immediately obvious looking at these options which bank account Timmy should choose. At first glance, 8.4% compounded yearly seems to be the highest rate, but is it necessarily the best choice? Read on to learn about the mathematical theory to solve this problem, or skip down to see how you can quickly find the answer with your financial calculator. Effective Annual Rate (EAR): Mathematical Background The key to solving this problem is understanding the relationship between the interest rate and rate of compounding. While Timmy is quoted several different interest rates, the rate he will actually earn on his bank account in each case also depends on the number of times per year interest is compounded on each bank account. To answer this question we need to determine and compare the effective annual rate (the interest rate that Timmy actually earns) for each bank account option. Let’s start with a simple example: If you deposit $1000 in a bank account paying 10% interest annually, after one year you would have $1,100 in the bank account [$1000 x (1 + .1)1] assuming no additional deposits or withdrawals. If you deposit $1,000 in a bank account paying 10% interest compounded semiannually, this means you earn 5% every six months (two times per year) on your bank account. After one year, you would have a bank account balance of $1000 x (1 + .05)2 = $1,102.50. Notice that this is $2.50 higher than the bank account with 10% compounded once a year. The...

...Nantucket Nectars Entrepreneurs and best friends, Tom First and Tom Scott, had started Nantucket Nectars in the early 1990’s. Since then, after some initial difficulties business has been booming. This has put them in the very unusual position of being courted by many corporate giants looking to break into the New-Age Beverage market. Tom and Tom sat back and evaluated all of their options. After awhile they came to the conclusion that they had three paths to take. Among these, the first is to do nothing, that is continue to operate as they have with no major changes in ownership or structure. The second option would be to take the company public through an IPO, or lastly they can sell to one of their many suitors, Ocean Spray, Pepsi, Tri-Arc, Coke, etc. The first step they need to take would be to discount all of their future values, then find the NPV of the firm. To do this Tom and Tom must break out their TI BA II Plus calculator from their days at Brown. Next they need to enter in all of the previous cash flows on record. However they still must determine a discount rate that would be fairly accurate. Being off by even a few points could make a huge difference in their ability to judge the fair value of their firm. Nantucket Nectars is currently borrowing at a rate of 8.5% with very little debt. They could fairly easily take on more debt as it is. It is difficult at this time to figure out a good beta for Nantucket, however we can assume that equity investors would...

...From the origin of the United States, immigration has been crucial for the economic advancement and expansion of the nation. The US truly is a melting pot of many cultures and ideas, and it has benefited greatly from its diversity. However, with a much-reduced demand for unskilled or low-skilled workers, US policy must adapt so that it can better maximize the net economic benefits of immigration. While this probably does not include a universal drop in the number of legal immigrants, it would include the screening of applicants in such a way that preference is given to more economically beneficial candidates. It would also include making families totally responsible for their elderly relatives who migrate to the US, eliminating the refugee portion of immigrants, denying more, but not all, government services to illegal immigrants, controlling the southern border with more manpower and better technology, and establishing a national verification database. The optimal policy from an economic perspective should seek to provide U.S. businesses with the labor they require without placing added burden on the taxpayers. Before specific policies can be addressed, it is crucial that immigrants be separated into four categories: legal, working-age immigrants; legal, elderly immigrants; refugees; and illegal immigrants. These groups are radically different, and they must be addressed differently. Universally cutting legal immigration levels would deprive businesses of labor resources that...
