2. As a CEO leading an acquisition of a foreign firm (think of Anheuser-Busch or Cadbury), you are interviewed by a reporter from the host country. The reporter asks, "A lot of people in our country are mad about this foreign takeover of this iconic company. How would you alleviate their concerns?"

3. In this age of globalization, some gurus argue that all industries are becoming global and that all firms need to adopt a global strategy. Do you agree? Why or why not?
