Abstract
This paper is a compilation of three separate weekly projects involving the individual course project. The paper explains that the project focuses on Global Energy and its intent to enter the Asia-Pacific regional market either in Indonesia or potentially China. The paper discusses how China is considered the better prospect because of its relative stability both economically and politically, whereas Indonesia is experiencing increasing amounts of market events in both of those key areas.

Abstract
This paper discusses the market entry strategies of Global Energy as it contemplates entering the Indonesian market based on an alternative energy product. The company SWOT and other strategic options are analyzed. Also a contingency plan is put forth based, not on preserving or replicating the Indonesian project, but in safely extricating staff and equipment to minimize additional costs.

From the Paper
"Global Energy is a recognized leader in the petroleum industry worldwide. With over 100,000 employees, operations in approximately 110 countries, and a 100 year history in the industry, Global Energy is still intent on growth led primarily by entrance into new markets and the development of newer alternatives to petroleum based energy sources. Mission. Global Energy's current mission is to enter into the Indonesian market on the premise that development of an alternative energy source is, overall, less expensive in that market. Also, because of Indonesia's rapid economic expansion and shift towards becoming a net importer of petroleum based energy resources, it exhibits promising growth potential (Gee, 2005). Objectives. Global Energy's objectives are meant to provide clear, actionable, and measurable tasks that are an extension of Global Energy's corporate strategy. 1. Global Energy will continue to develop its alternative energy ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Global Energy as it prepares to enter the Indonesian market with a local operation. It notes that it must address certain needs that the company has that will be more difficult in the Indonesian context. The first of these is the need for Information Technology (IT) which the company uses extensively in its operations at home and which it will need in its Indonesian operation as well.

"As Global Energy prepares to enter the Indonesian market with a local operation, it must address certain needs that the company has that will be more difficult in the Indonesian context. The first of these is the need for Information Technology (IT), which the company uses extensively in its operations at home and which it will need in its Indonesian operation a well. However, Indonesia would be considered backward in this department. A report on the country notes that there is a lack of technological development in the country that that this has the potential to create risks in communication breakdowns within the organization and cause obstacles in information sharing between Indonesia and the United States. In addition, telecommunication infrastructure is not as robust as that found in the United States. A system must be implemented allowing for a clear connection to the U.S. and for internal communications in the Indonesian operation."

"Trade Transactions
Global Energy's petroleum related products are highly sought after all ASEAN member countries as well as regional non-members have expressed a deep interest in sourcing petroleum products through a regional producer."
"Financing Sources
Financing the Indonesian project is a major undertaking even for a company with the size and scope of Global Energy. The importance of making the proper choice in financing strategies cannot be understated as the choice of financing can determine the success or failure and the profitability or loss of the overall project."

Abstract
This paper discusses Global Energy and its new Indonesian division. The particular cultural issues related to hiring and managing a foreign workforce are discussed and the recommendation of an integrated training and indoctrination program is made. Furthermore, the paper looks at how Global Energy should reorganize around a geographically aligned corporate structure and have each division function as an independent business unit.

From the Paper
"Since Global Energy is a multi-national enterprise (MNE), it must consider the development of its corporate culture with respect to this may, or may not, impact is Indonesian operations. While it is important for Global Energy to consider the cultural dimensions of its new operational market, it is just as important, if not more important, to preserve and evolve its own corporate culture or risk a complete breakdown in business continuity. An example of the effectiveness of intentionally developing a corporate culture to facilitate market performance is the best way to illustrate how corporate culture matters and that there is an ideal paradigm of culture that can be blue-printed and modeled.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that it seems as though the US is falling deeper and deeper into a global energy crisis. The writer discusses that several possible energy alternatives exist, though additional funding is still required for the research and development of such sources of clean, renewable energy. The writer argues that, due to America's rising demands for energy, and the negative impact this demand for energy has on the environment, the United States federal government should substantially increase alternative energy incentives. The writer notes that such initiatives in changing our way of life take a substantial amount of time and resources; however, the benefits of renewable energy are incredible. Through the utilization of clean, renewable energy, the negative effects of global climate change will be reduced. The writer concludes that in an effort to preserve the healthy and well-being of the population in the future, additional funding toward the use of alternative sources of energy must be initiated.

From the Paper
"This movement simply urges automobile manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency by the year 2020, while ignoring the possible crisis of a petroleum shortage. The federal government must become aware of the limited time to take action in an increasingly dominant issue, and introduce new strategies of energy production and conservation.
"Among the nationwide demand for energy, automobiles top the list, and are of great concern. Carbon emissions, produced in a large part due to the millions of cars on the road, forms the basis of the issue knows as global warming. To many, is seems evident that climate change greatly threatens the Earth's future well-being if changes are not made."

Abstract
The following paper will look at the Japanese occupation of Indonesia in the period 1942-45. Specifically, the paper will look at how the arrival of the Japanese clearly spelled the end of the ancient colonial rule of the Dutch; in that regard, it really meant the end of the silly and quaint notion that Caucasians were somehow superior to those of darker skin. The paper will then look at the Japanese's acknowledgement of Indonesian nationalism (which may, ultimately, have proved a mistake) and at the Japanese administration's relatively enlightened treatment of the Mataram Dynasty in Java; the set of precepts set down for the princes during this period reflects a military administration smart enough to know that it had enough global enemies and did not need any more. The essay will subsequently glance at how the Japanese sought to win over the support of the kikayi and the ulama through aggressive education programs and some comments will be made about the unintended positive benefits which derived from the repressive Japanese occupation. Last of all, the paper will address the question of why the Japanese, who do not appear to have been any more brutal in their own way than the Dutch were in theirs (and had the added benefit of being Asian) never quite managed to gain the grudging tolerance of the Indonesian people. In the final analysis, two things will emerge from this paper: the Japanese were more enlightened in Indonesia than one might expect; and, just as significantly, they were never going to (within the time-span of the Second World War) gain complete acceptance in Indonesia - no matter how many concessions they granted to the Mataram dynasty - because they were a horde of conquerors from abroad simply doing what the Dutch had already done.
