Businesses must consider several factors when setting international prices:
1) Costs such as export costs, foreign currency exchange rates, and taxes.
2) Consumer demand which is affected by factors like income levels and competition.
3) Competition from other companies selling similar products.
Pricing methods used include markup pricing, new product pricing, and discount pricing which provides incentives.
Setting prices that account for currency fluctuations and using methods like countertrade can help minimize financial risks in global markets.

There are several factors that determine whether a stretch of coastline is protected from erosion or not. Hard engineering approaches like groynes, sea walls, gabions, revetments, and rock armor are expensive options to prevent erosion but may not be aesthetically pleasing. Softer engineering techniques like beach nourishment, stabilizing sand dunes, and managed retreat are more sustainable and natural options but are less effective at preventing erosion. The Holderness Coast in England is an example of an eroding coastline where many villages have been lost to coastal erosion over thousands of years due to its soft rock composition and exposure to high-energy waves.

Successful managers possess a variety of skills including leadership, strong communication abilities, and the ability to plan, organize, solve problems and make decisions. Management styles vary from autocratic, where managers centralize power, to participative, where managers share power with employees. Cultural differences influence behaviors and managers must be sensitive to differences in areas like decision making and employment practices.
The document discusses waves and the coast. It defines the coast as the zone where land, sea, and atmosphere meet, and notes that coastal areas are constantly changing due to tides and erosion. It then asks what waves are, and explains that waves are moving bodies of water caused by circular motions in the open sea. Factors that influence wave size are the fetch (distance wind has blown over water), strength and duration of winds. Waves are generally larger in the southwest due to longer fetches in that direction.
This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint slides and avoiding common pitfalls. It discusses best practices for slide structure, fonts, color, backgrounds, graphs, spelling and grammar. Key recommendations include using point form, limiting text per slide, large readable fonts, high contrast between text and background, simple consistent designs, properly labeled graphs, and proofreading. The goal is to clearly convey information visually and keep the audience engaged during the presentation.

This document provides an overview of software testing principles and processes. It discusses why testing is necessary, the fundamental test process, and principles like prioritization of tests and regression testing. The key points are:
1) Testing is necessary to find faults, assess quality, and build confidence, but can never prove that software is completely correct.
2) The test process involves planning, specification, execution, recording, and checking completion criteria.
3) Prioritization of tests is important to focus on the most important and risky areas given time constraints. Regression testing checks for unintended effects of fixes.
