Globalization of Korean popular culture (k-pop)

I need a chapter for my thesis that outlines specific relevant theories for the globalization process of k-pop. It needs to use these theories to analyse the globalisation flow and methods. Would be great if there was specific relation to the role of social media, fan accounts and fan internaction/support in how k-pop have broken into the western word and become a global phenomenon in recent years.

The methodology has to add up with the rest of the report. There is not even one interview used to provide information or answers in the report. So, the methodology doesn’t add up with the whole report. I need to know why the Methodology is written in this way and find a solution to change it in the right way. (see page 4)

Bond and stock Valuation

Airnova Inc. has two types of bonds, Bond D and Bond F. Both have 8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond D has 2 years to maturity. Bond F has 15 years to maturity.

Airnova Inc. is considering four different types of stocks. They each have a required return of 20 percent and a dividend of $3.75 for share. Stocks, A, B, and C are expected  to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the near future of 10 percent, 0 percent, and -5 percent, respectively. Stock D is a growth stock and will increase its dividend by 30 percent for the next four years and then maintain a constant 12 percent growth rate after that.

Discuss:
If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in both bonds?
If interest rates suddenly fall by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in both bonds?
What does this tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?
What is the dividend yield for each of the four stocks?
What is the expected capital gains yield?
Discuss the relationship among the various returns that you find for each of the stocks.

SWOT alone is not sufficient to fully understand the current situation of a company. There are environmental factors and industry factors that need to be evaluated. Porter’s 5 Forces and PESTLE are very important strategic frameworks.
Because you only used one framework, you are essentially forced to use it to develop your strategy. How would you defend that the best strategic model is strengths/opportunities or weaknesses/threats? You did not discuss the relevance of frameworks and defend your choice.  You should choose one strategy. Diversification of the portfolio and geographic expansion are two very different strategies. SWOT is not sufficient to guide geographic expansion. PESTLE is a critical framework for this strategy.
You did not create a roadmap for your strategy (25 points). You need phases for product development with associated timelines, milestones and measurements.
You did not create an analytics plan (10 points)
You did not create an adaptive plan that reflects external uncertainties and how you could respond  (10 points).

Political Culture

you will be asked to use the learning diary to document the progress of your learning. A learning diary is an open format that allows you to write down what you think is important in regard to the topic at stake, and to describe your personal learning progress. Normally, the following items should be included:
– a brief summary of the content of the text: What you think is the most relevant and interesting learning outcome?
– a personal evaluation: Did you know all this already, what was new, are there any open questions, do you have critical comments?

Module 1 – SLP ENVIRONMENT

The purpose of the Session Long Project in Trident University classes is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the module to your own life, work, and place in space and time, and to experiment with the module to see how the otherwise academically rigorous presentation of a topic may, with more or less work and/or trauma, become “up close and personal”. This is done in a number of different wayssometimes cumulative papers, sometimes practical hands-on experimentation with a tool of some sort, sometimes reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the course’s material. The main purpose of the written parts of the assignments is to show that you have had some experiences doing the project, that you have thought carefully about what they mean for your own education, and that you can make some personal applications of this meaning to your own professional and/or personal understanding. Demonstrating this understanding is actually considerably more important than carrying out any specific step in the project instructions.

For this course, the SLP will take the form of working through a tutorial in information architectures, toward the purpose of creating a design document for a new website (see below).

The Term Project

Webmonkey is a Web development portal site operated by Wired.com. Among other resources (which you are welcome to peruse), it has a series of tutorials, including a very interesting hands-on Internet-based tutorial on the creation of information architectures (IA) for websites, that ought to work nicely as an SLP for this class. It is organized in five parts, which fits well into our structure. You can access the tutorial at the following site: http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/information_architecture_tutorial/ or http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorials/

Your overall assignment for the term is to follow the steps in this tutorial to develop a design document for a website to support students in the ITM programs as they move through it from the first courses to the last.

The goal of your project is to use the information architectures process to put together the best design you can. You are encouraged to be creative and imaginative; obviously, there is not any one correct design. The purpose of the SLP process is to give you some structure as you create your design.

The assignment is in three parts, one for each module 1-3.

For Module 1, you are to read through the Overview and Lesson 1, and carry out the first steps: goals definition for the website. The lesson outlines a series of questions to structure your goals. It suggests asking a range of respondents about the questions; clearly, this may be outside your present scope, although you may want to discuss them with friends and/or family and/or colleagues who have been with you through the program who might have suggestions based on their interactions with you as you progressed – to get their take on the possible goals. You may also wish to seek informal thoughts from your instructor if you wish, with a well-structured inquiry.

At the least, you need to iterate the questions a couple of times for yourself. Write down your answers, then set them aside for a couple of days and come back to them. If you can do this a couple of times, youll find that your formulation will be better each time.

This part of the tutorial concludes:

Once you have agreement from everyone involved, document the goals of the site and publish them where everyone in both your clients organization and your own can see them… summarize the list and write a few paragraphs about the goals. A simple summary will do.

Your publication consists of submitting your list and paragraphs in report form as your SLP 1 assignment.

SLP Assignment Expectations
Length: 2-3 pages typed and double-spaced

The following items will be assessed in particular:

Your ability to focus on the overall purposes of the assignment, not just its specific steps
Your use of some in-text references to what you have read; please cite all sources properly
Upload your paper when it is completed.
