Iceland Fish Industry

TERM PAPER SPECIFICS

Governments develop and support economic systems that they believe will give their society a competitive advantage and worldwide recognition

as a viable global force. Every country’s social system is comprised of three components: cultural forces, economic forces, and political forces.

These dynamic forces are in constant motion and prove to be a challenge to firms entering foreign markets.

Today, a firm’s competitive environment is not confined to its national borders. Firms try to achieve greater market share and gain

competitive advantage by selling in global markets. In order to be successful, firms must fully understand the countries with which they do

business. To do this, firms develop strategy based on an analysis of the environment in the foreign country.

To help you understand this contemporary economic concept and apply it to global competitive advantage, you are required to submit a

research paper that examines the cultural, economic, and political forces in the fish industry in Iceland. After examining these forces, you must

identify the challenges or opportunities that firms face when trying to do business in these countries and make recommendations to firms entering

these markets.

The term paper must be 8-10 pages not including cover sheet or references. Your paper must include a title page, a running head, a header,

a summary, and a list of at least 3 references. Page one is your cover page. Page 2 and possibly 3 is your summary. (You need a paragraph for

each research area.) The summary should stand alone so that it could be removed from the rest of the paper and it would remain intact.

Use the format presented in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA).

The final typewritten paper should include a running head, headers, and headings as indicated in the outline.

You must reference credible magazines and newspapers. The Wall Street Journal, the Economist, and the U.S. News & World Report are highly

recommended references. Make sure that your references are diverse. This will keep you from a skewed perspective of what is happening. You may

not use Wikipedia, encyclopedias, or blogs. Your best bet is to use periodicals and journals.

• Sleep Debt
• Consequences of Too Little Sleep
• Dangers of Sleep Deprivation
The amount of sleep a person needs depends on many factors, including age. In general:
• Infants require about 12-15 hours a day
• Toddlers require about 11-14 hours a day.
• Pre-school children require 10-13 hours a day.
• School-age children require 9-11 hours a day.
• Teenagers need about 8.5-9.5 hours on average.
• Most adults need 7 to 9 hours a night for the best amount of sleep, although some people may need as few as 6 hours or as many as 10 hours of

sleep each day.
• Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual.
However, experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you haven’t had enough sleep.
Sleep Debt
The amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she has been deprived of sleep in previous days. Getting too little sleep creates a “sleep

debt,” which is much like being overdrawn at a bank. Eventually, your body will demand that the debt be repaid.
We don’t seem to adapt to getting less sleep than we need. While we may get used to a sleep-depriving schedule, our judgment, reaction time, and other

functions are still impaired.
Consequences of Too Little Sleep
Too little sleep may cause:
• Memory problems
• Depression
• A weakening of your immune system, increasing your chance of becoming sick
• Increase in perception of pain

Dangers of Sleep Deprivation
Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using a driving simulator or by performing a

hand-eye coordination task perform as badly as or worse than those who are intoxicated.
Sleep deprivation also magnifies alcohol’s effects on the body, so a fatigued person who drinks will become much more impaired than someone who is well

rested.
Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 83,000 motor vehicle accidents and about 850 deaths each year, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Some researchers, though, believe the numbers are actually much higher. Since drowsiness is the brain’s

last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can — and often does — lead to disaster. Caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the

effects of severe sleep deprivation.
The National Sleep Foundation says you are probably too drowsy to drive safely if you:
• Have trouble keeping your eyes focused
• Can’t stop yawning
• Can’t remember driving the last few miles
• Are daydreaming and have wandering thoughts
• Have trouble holding your head up
• Are drifting in and out of lanes
