1. AIG’s corporate culture played a big role in its downfall. They seemed to be more concerned about their own personal gains in the short run than what the effects were going to be in the long run.

Running Head The Statecraft simulation is a helpful tool for understanding the different aspects of international politics. In the simulation, students are able to experience diplomacy through trial and error in political positions within their designated countries. In addition, the simulation was created by Dr. Keller to resemble reality. As a result, each country has different advantages and disadvantages with regards to recourses, location, country attributes and government type. Furthermore
substantial effect on employment alone, that is not necessarily true for the economy as a whole. Any industry that competes with a foreign good or service will inevitably have to drop the price of its product in order to stay competitive in an international market.

Steel and Tariffs We have all heard this joke. Only now the horse has been replaced with consumers of steel in the US steel industry. Why? Many companies in our economy that use steel as an input to produce their goods are staggering due to recent extraordinarily high steel prices.

rate than Britain. Germany’s coal production between 1880 and 1913 increased by 307 while Britain’s grew by 96,5%. The difference between the two countries became even greater in steel production.
