Diversity today has been quite an integral part of an organization and therefore the organization needs to think about it in a serious manner so that they do not lose out on potential business and employees as well. I believe that instead of the English-only policy they can actually encourage other languages as well and this will make the diversity factor work for the organization. There is no doubt that communication is the key to success but organizations have to try such alternative method which will actually give them a competitive advantage over its socnoetitors in the industry. This is difficult to implement but with proper planning and training it can be feasible and such organizations will actually flourish in the industry. -250 words

Suppose that U.S.-based Qualcomm and European-based T-Mobile are contemplating infrastructure investments in a developing mobile telephone market. Qualcomm presently uses a code-division multiple access ( CDMA) technology, which almost 67 million users in theU.S. utilize. In contrast, T-Mobile uses a global systems formobile communication (GSM) technology that has become the standard in Europe and Asia. Each company must (simultaneously andindependently) decide which of these two technologies to introducein the new market. Qualcomm estimates that it will cost
$ 900 million to install its CDMA technology and $ 1.8 billion to install GSM technology. T-Mobile's projected cost of installing GSM technology is $ 950 million, while the cost of installing the CDMA technology is $2.5 billion. As shown in the accompanying table,each company's projected revenues depend not only on the technology it adopts, but also on that adopted by its rival.

Projected Revenues for Different Combinations of Mobile
Technology Standards ( in billions)
Standards Qualcomm's T-Mobile's
(Qualcomm-T-Mobile) Revenues Revenues
CDMA-GSM $12.9 $8.95
CDMA-CDMA $16.9 $14.5
GSM-CDMA $15.8 $ 9.5
GSM-GSM $14.8 $ 18.95

Construct the normal form of this game. Then explain the economic forces that give rise to the structure of the payoffs and any difficulties that the companies might have in achieving Nash equilibrium in the new market.

For many years, the Justice Department has tried to break up large firms like IBM, Microsoft, and most recently Google, on the grounds that their large market share made them essentially monopolies. In a global market, where U.S. firms compete with firms from other countries, would this policy make the same sense as it might in a purely domestic context?
