3. 1B Nike sports shoes from the production to reflect the global labor market integration of the important characteristics of economic globalization. Economic globalization, regional economic exchanges with the region becoming more frequent, more and more obvious geographical boundaries, changing the traditional economic activities, so that national economic interdependence and integration, to form an integrated economic environment, one is the labor market integration. This is due to companies around the world to effectively reduce production costs, often around the edge and the light of the production process will be distributed to different countries, such as the most labor- intensive production processes to transfer to developing countries, while the few necessary professional, elaborate and complex production processes, it is left in the country, the formation of the international division of labor, the growing integration of global labor market. According to the information one, Nike as an American company, its merchandise suppliers are all over the world, means that many countries and regions of the workers are directly or indirectly involved in Nike's production process. According to the information two, Nike does not own a factory, it is not only all products are outsourced to other manufacturers made ​​even designed the sample, also from Taiwan trial, showing that Nike can use the global wave of labor for manufacturing shoes. Thus, Nike sports shoes production could reflect the economic globalization of the labor market integration features.

4. 1C  According to the information, we can see that Nike used a lot of developing countries or regions of the supplier, the reason below: reduce production costs: in these developing countries, as economic development is not as well developed as in developed countries, their overall production costs are low compared with developed countries, the relatively low production costs including wages, plant, equipment, routine operating expenses, etc., greatly increasing the developing countries or regions of the supplier of Nike's appeal. More effective use of resources: the use of suppliers in developing countries, so that Nike can save a lot of time and resources, and invest in other areas, such as development, marketing high value- added projects. Thus, the majority of processes through outsourcing to developing countries, Nike will be able to take full advantage of the advantages of different places, more efficient allocation of resources to invest at least in the case of resources, increase productivity and greatly improve economic efficiency.

5. 1C (con’t)  Nike's labor practices in developing countries and the benefits of global consumers: labor in developing countries: Nike to outsource the production to developing countries, workers in these countries can provide more employment opportunities, thereby enhancing the economic level of quality of life. On the other hand, they also have the opportunity to learn a foreign production technology, to further enhance their competitiveness. consumers around the world: Nike through the outsourcing of production processes can greatly reduce the cost of production to more efficient use of resources, produce more goods of better quality but cheaper, so that consumers around the world can benefit. According to the information, such as two, Nike and advantages of the use of external capacity to compensate for their deficiencies, and thus save a lot of manufacturing investment in infrastructure, equipment acquisition costs and the cost of workers, so that Nike's products will be able to lower prices available in the lot around the world, so that more more consumers can enjoy cheap products.

6. 2A According to the information one, a mother and daughter from the United States to open Starbucks coffee shop in the Forbidden City's response and values ​​vary. Mothers against Starbucks opened in the Forbidden City, and that the damage should not be allowed outside the National Palace of Culture Chinese culture, reflecting the greater emphasis on protecting the local mother's traditional culture, resistance to integration with foreign cultures. Daughter of a mixture of two cultures is that there is nothing wrong, and the upcoming Beijing Olympics, the Chinese people should keep an open mind, accept foreign good culture. This reflects her more attention to cultural diversity, not to resist accepting the integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

7. 2B Starbucks and the FCC are on the business model: Based on the above information, Starbucks is a business by foreigners, mainly the sale of Western-style coffee and pastries. Although it operate in China's Forbidden City, but does not sell any Chinese food and beverages, but also with the museum environment as a whole, the atmosphere out of tune. Instead, FCC, although a Western-style coffee shop, but the data in the National Palace Museum researcher Li Wenru two, said the store in addition to selling coffee, it will also sell Chinese tea, so the "strict sense" is not a coffee shop. At the same time, FCC's business rests in the hands of the National Palace, the FCC used in wood furniture, showcase, display pictures of Chinese culture, will be like to do, and the other shops in the Forbidden City to promote unity, it can be seen and the Palace of the integration of Chinese culture.

8. 2C First, state your standpoint, and then make a few arguments, can make sense. I agree that Starbucks leave the Forbidden City. Because Starbucks is a chain of coffee shops operated by foreigners, it stores all over the world, after it entered the local influence is also very impressive. For example, Chinese people always like to eat buns and tea, but Starbucks has, however, changed the eating habits of most people, especially working people, leisure favorite Starbucks coffee drink, and even talk business, its presence can be seen posing a growing threat the local culture. I think that the presence of foreign chains is a cultural aggression; they will erode our local culture. Their presence is undoubtedly greater cultural museum threat. China Palace is not only a popular tourist spot, or place of residence before the Qing emperor, where the highest authority on behalf of China. Therefore, the presence of Starbucks, so I think the meaning behind it is that it is invasion of China; some users excitedly asked Starbucks to leave the Forbidden City, is out of their cultural identity and protection, intended to defend their country's culture, from Starbucks entered the foreign business culture of destruction.

9. 2C I am opposed to Starbucks leave the Forbidden City. Starbucks is a coffee shop chain management, its branches all over the world, the Forbidden City as a tourist attraction, presumably there are many foreign tourists come to visit, in order to cater to their taste, I do not think Starbucks entered the Forbidden City is a problem. Some people say, Starbucks entered the Forbidden City is a cultural invasion, however, I would agree that a daughter of the information statement. I think that Starbucks entered the Forbidden City is a cultural exchange, which also reflects China's tolerance and open-minded on foreign conducive to enhance the international status of China. In fact, in the presence of Starbucks around after, have sought to meet the local culture and tastes, such as Starbucks, located at Beijing Shichahai with Chinese architectural features with the appearance, and if Hong Kong is located in Duddell Street Starbucks "ice room", In addition to decorating the rich local characteristics of Hong Kong, there are some authentic Hong Kong cuisine, such as pineapple sale, these can also keep the local culture. Because Starbucks is the world's leading brands, when the visitors went into the localization of these fusion Starbucks, they will be on a better understanding of local culture, enabling cultural integration.
