Q.1: As CEO of the “Softronix” what reasons do you see for the poor performance in Japan?



ANSWER:-1

Reasons for poor performance in Japan:-

Cultural characteristics difference between several dimensions and aspects; the ability to perceive them and to cope with them is one of the bases of intercultural competence. In Japan “Collectivism and Individualism” dimensions of cultural difference decrease the performance in Softronix. In every culture the preferences and habits of people are different and they have also different habits & styles of work.

So the basic & main reason for the poor performance in Japan is that the people in Japan are not willing to work individually. If we are unwilling to do any task than we can’t get the positive results.

And In Japan people tend to work in collectively in teams. So when Mr. Ahmad gave work individually the can’t get positive results because of “Cultural Differences”

.

Q.2: Keeping in view the GLOBE framework for assessing the cultures, what other considerations should Mr. Ahmad look at in order to assess the two totally different cultures?

(10)

ANSWER:-2

Other consideration to assess the two totally different cultures for assessment of intercultural competence as an existing ability and / or the potential to develop it (with conditions and timeframe),

the following characteristics are tested and observed: ambiguity tolerance, openness to contacts, flexibility in behavior, emotional stability, motivation to perform, empathy, met communicative competence, polycentrism.

In every culture the preferences and habits of people are different and they have also different habits & styles of work.

So same styles in two different cultures or regions can’t gives in positive results.

He should look that the choices of Japanese whether they like to work separately or in a group, give them full liberty to work with their own style.

Assignment # 1

Spring 2010

Question_1: [marks: 4]

Convert each decimal fraction to binary using repeated-multiplication-by-2:

• 0.98

0.98 .98*2=1.96 .96*2=1.92 .92*2=1.84 .84*2=1.68 .68*2= 1.36 .36*2=0.72 .72*2=1.44 .44*2=0.88 .88*2=1.76 .76*2=1.52 .52*2=1.04 .04*2=0.08 .08*2=.16

keep going and you finally get
.11111010111000010100011

• 0.60

• 60 .6*2=1.2 .2*2=0.4 .4*2=0.8 .8*2=1.6 this is a repeating decimal .10011001100110011000.60

Question_2: [marks: 6]

Express each decimal number as an 8-bit number in the 2's complement form:

• +10
• +10 10/2=5 rem 0 5/2=2 rem 1 2/2= 1 rem 0 1/2 = 0 rem 1 = 1010 make 8 bits 00001010

• -125

-125 125/2=62 rem 1 62/2=31 rem 0 31/2 = 15 rem 1 15/2=7 rem 1 7/2=3 rem 1 3/2=1rem 1 1/2 = 0 rem 1 = 1111101 make 8 bits 01111101 change to negative

• flip bits 10000010
  add 1 +1
  10000011

Question_3: [marks: 4]

Represent the following decimal numbers in BCD:

• 919

% no rem

2 919

2 459 1

2 229 1

2 114 1

2 57 0

2 28 1

2 14 0

2 7 0

2 3 1

2 1 1

So we get (1110010111)2=397 in BCD

Ans=397

• 321

% no rem

2 321

2 160 1

2 80 0

2 40 0

2 20 0

2 10 0

2 5 0

2 2 1

2 1 0

So we get (101000001)2= A1 in BCD

ANS; A1

Question_4: [marks: 4]

What is the highest decimal number that can be represented by each of the following numbers of binary digits (bits) ?

Digits No. Binary digits

two = 2 0010

five = 5 0101

nine= 9 1001

ten = 10 1010

So ten = 10 1010 is the highest no.

Question_5: [marks: 2]

Which input combination will produce logic 1 at the output of a 4-input NOR gate ?

The NOR gate is a digital logic gate that implements logical NOR - it behaves A HIGH output (1) results if both the inputs to the gate are LOW (0).. NOR is a functionally complete operation—combinations of NOR gates can be combined to generate any other logical function. By contrast, the OR operator is monotonicas it can only change LOW to HIGH but not vice versa.

IN PUTS OUT PUT

A B C D O/P

0 0 0 0 1

So we will get high 1 only when all inputs are zero.

Your father is 50 years old now and his plan is to retire exactly at the age of 60. His goal is to create a fund that will allow him to receive Rs15,00,000 at the time of retirement so that he can start a small business. He has searched the market and is confused between the two options:
[list]
[*]Option 1: To deposit Rs.9,000 after every 6 months in banks A
[*]Option 2: To deposit Rs.2,000 after every 4 months in banks B Both banks assume payments at the end of respective months. As a business graduate, you have been asked to help him out as:
What interest rate assumption has the Bank A used in its offer?
What interest rate assumption has the Bank B used in its offer?
Which option is favorable?

Solution:-
1,500,000 = 9000 [(1+i/2)^10*2-1] 19%
1,500,000 = 2000 [(1+i/3)^10*3-1] 18%

18 % is the favourable option because we can get same
result with small amount of money. in first option
we ll pay 9000 * 20 = 180 000 and in second we ll pay 2000 * 30 = 60 000
in 10 years and the result is same 15 00 000. so second option is favourable



18 wala theek hay bcoz if u convert it compounded yearly rate then it comes
almost 53.20% and the other one comes 38.12% and moreover in 2nd case u invest
only 60000 whereas in the first option u have to invest 180000 so in second
option u will get more profit with less investment

2. All strings having exactly two 1’s or three 1’s not more than it.

b) Show that the Regular expression ^ + 0(0+1)*+(0+1)*00(0+1)* is equivalent to ((0*1)*01*)*

Solution:
a)
1. {0,1,01,11,10,101,010,011,110…………}
2. {011,110,0110.10101.1101,01101,111,0111,…………….}
b)
Both are equivalent because they generate the same language


Question No. 2 Marks: 4
