GLO Q 1

At the end of Year 5, the productivity of PATs

assembling action cameras was 3,000 units annually and the productivity of PATs assembling UAV drones was 1,500 units annually.

The factors that affect the P/Q rating of a company's action cameras do not include

the percentage of the camera assembly process that is performed via robotics.

Which of the following statements about your company's assembly operations for cameras and drone is FALSE?

Shifting to bot-assisted assemble requires increasing PAT compensation by 25% because robot-assisted assembly is more complex and requires use of more highly-skilled PAT members.

Which of the following is not accurate as concerns the online retailers of unmanned aerial view drones and/or buyers of unmanned aerial view drones and/or the buyer of unmanned aerial view drones?

Because your company sells its UAV drone models at the company's own website in direct competition with other online retailers of UAV drones, these online retailers are inclined to stock and display your company's brand of drones only id they can purchase your company's brand of drones at a discount of at least 35% below the average online retail price your company charges for its drone models.

Which of the following is not accurate as concerns the retailers and buyers of action capture cameras?

Each of the four major geographic regions of the world market has 5,000 retailers of action capture cameras, some of which are multi-store retail chain (175 per region), online electronic retailer (125 per region), and local retail enterprises that sell or rent these cameras (4,700 per region).

Which of the following statements about crafting a strategy to competitively successful in the markets for actions cameras and drone is accurate?

In GLO-BUS, there are multiple strategic approaches and sets of competitive efforts/ action that, if properly designed and well-executed, are capable or producing competitive success in the global market for cameras/drones, provided they are not overpowered or thwarted by even more potent strategic approaches and competitive actions/efforts that are well executed by rival companies.

Which of the following statements does not accurately describe how your company's performance is scored on the best-in-industry standard?

In order to receive a score of 100, a company must be the best-in0industry performer on EPS, stock price, global market share, and P/Q ratings and have at least an A credit rating.

Which of the following is not one of the benefits of current-year and cumulative expenditures for camera/drone product R&D?

Increasing the total compensation of PATs that assemble camera/drone models.

Which of the following is not one of the measures on which a company's performance is judged/scored?

Its combine market share of worldwide action camera revenues and its market share of worldwide UAV drone revenues. BUT it DOES measure: - Credit rating - ROE - EPS - How the company's latest stock price compared to the annual year-end targets set by the company's board of director

The company has its camera and drone assembly facilities in

Taiwan

Which of the following is not a characteristic of either the company's operations or the global camera/drone marketplace in which the company competes?

The company assembles camera and drone models in advance, keep roughly a 10-day to 2-week inventory of each model in company facilities, and then uses exiting inventory to quickly fill incoming orders. Customer orders are delivered within 3 to 10 days of receipt, depending on where customers are located in the four geographic regions.

Which of the following are components of the compensation package for members of camera/drone PATs?

The dollar-cost of a PAT member's fringe benefit package, assembly quality incentives ($ per unit assembled divided equally among PAT members), a year-end bonus for perfect attendance, and percentage increases in the annual base wage.

Which of the following financial measures is considered in determining a company's credit rating?

The interest coverage ratio (defined as annual operating profit divided by annual interest expertise)

Which one of the following IS a factor in determining a company's action camera sales and market share in particular geographic region?

Whether the company's spending on camera advertising in a given region is above/below the regional average level of spending n camera advertising.

The projected growth of unit sales of unmanned aerial view (UAV) drones is

higher in the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America than the worldwide average rate throughout the Year 6-Year 15 period.

The average wholesale price a company is charging camera retailers for its models is deemed to be "competitive" with the average wholesale prices of rival makers of action cameras in a particular geographic region when its average wholesale price is.

below the regional average wholesale price, but a company's average wholesale price becomes progressively more price competitive the further. It is below the regional average and thereby results is an ever bigger price-based competitive advantage.

Unit sales of wearables, miniature action-capture cameras are reliably projected to grow

faster in the Asia-Pacific region than in North America throughout the Year 6-15 period

The Global Community Bank, under terms of tis long-term banking agreement with the company, have agreed to lend the company additional monies should you elect to use debt to help finance growth and other financial needs; the interest rate the GCB charges on such loans is tied to the payback period (1-years, 5-years, 10-years) and also to

going interest rates in world financial markets and to the company's current credit rating.

The factors that affect the company's P/Q rating for UAV drones include

rotor performance and flight controller features/capabilities, body frame construction, the caliber of the obstacle sensors, and the amount a company spends annually on training its drone-related PATs and improving its drone-related assembly methods (since such spending can affect defects encountered and the need for repairs).

The factors that affect the productivity of both camera PATs and drone PATs include

the size of assembly quality incentives paid to camera/drone PATs, how favorable the overall size of the company's total compensation package (not including overtime pay) per camera/drone PAT member compares against the camera/drone all-company averages, and changes in the number of camera/drone models that have to be assembled.
