Identify 3 foreign exchange instruments you would recommend?
What, if any, government regulations that would affect earnings and cash flow should they be aware of?

www.bea.gov (Links to an external site.)

First review this site and the economic information it offers.

Next research the most current data on macroeconomic output and growth. Under “Economic Accounts – National”, click on “Gross Domestic Product”. From this location click on and review “News Release: Gross Domestic Product”. Refer to the menu on the right side of this webpage and open up the “Full Release and Table”. Now review the summary and the data in the tables. Answer these questions:

a. What was the Real GDP growth rate for the past two quarters? (Hint: Table 1; average the last two quarters released)

b. What caused the changes in GDP growth for the most recent quarter?

c. What is the current dollar value for the nation’s annual GDP as of the most recent report?

d. The unemployment rate remains persistently high at over 5%. Economists estimate we will need a sustained 3-4% annual Real GDP growth rate to reduce unemployment to 4-5% (the “full employment” rate.) If the growth rate from the past 6 months continues, what does that imply for our future unemployment rate?

Responsibility with no expertise

These misalignments can impede strategy execution by slowing decision-making, disempowering teams when there is responsibility without authority, or depriving processes of key skills when there is responsibility without expertise.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the RAEW analysis technique. Based on your research, respond to the following:

Select an important process in your business unit that is performing poorly and perform a simple RAEW analysis.
What is the process you analyzed?
How is it performing poorly?
Can you find any structural misalignments using the RAEW tool?
Describe the misalignment and the consequences of it.
How would you fix this misalignment?

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
