TEXT III

The English schools looking to dispel ‘doom and gloom' around Al

Charles Darwin chatting with students about evolution, primary school pupils seeing their writing transformed into images, Luton reimagined as a cool automobile - artificial intelligence is invading schools across England in surprising ways.

While Bridget Philipson, the education secretary, in January called for a “digital revolution” involving Al in schools, it has already begun in places such as Willowdown primary school in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Matt Cave, Willowdown's head teacher, said his pupils improve their descriptive writing by feeding their work into an Al client to generate images.

“All of a sudden they've got all these pictures from different people’s descriptions, and they can then discuss with their classmates whether that was the image they expected to be in the reader’s head,” Cave said.

“It was really stimulating and thought-provoking for them to have a different audience.” The results, according to Cave, have been "brilliant” and a contrast to the “doom and gloom” he had heard from worried school leaders.

“I wouldn't want anyone to think we weren't aware of the potential hazards - we emphasise that to the children continually. But it's going to be a tool that they are going to need to use all their lives,” Cave said.

Marina Wyatt, head of science for key stage 3 at Furze Platt senior school in Maidenhead, said that she has found teacher-led use of Al useful for engaging students in discussions, including with a virtual Charles Darwin.

In the prompt we tell it to respond as Charles Darwin, and stay in the role. And it works. It came up with some brilliant stuff.

Advanced Dynamics of International Business Strategy


In the era of hyper-globalization, international busi ness strategy has evolved into a highly sophisticated discipline characterized by the orchestration of cross border value creation under conditions of uncertainty and institutional divergence. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) must navigate complex configurations of global value chains (GVCs), optimizing location-spe cific advantages while mitigating transaction costs, as articulated in Transaction Cost Economics.


A central theoretical lens in this domain is the Eclectic Paradigm, which posits that firms engage in foreign direct investment (FDI) when three conditions are satisfied: ownership-specific advantages (O), location specific advantages (L), and internalization incentives (I). These determinants collectively inform entry mode decisions, ranging from wholly owned subsidiaries to joint ventures and strategic alliances.


Institutional theory further underscores the impor tance of isomorphic pressures—coercive, mimetic, and normative—that shape organizational behavior across different jurisdictions. Firms operating in emerging economies often encounter institutional voids, charac terized by the absence or underdevelopment of inter mediaries such as capital markets, legal enforcement mechanisms, and regulatory agencies. In such contexts, firms may adopt non-market strategies, including polit ical lobbying and network-based relational contracting, to compensate for institutional deficiencies.


From an operational perspective, supply chain resil ience has become a critical strategic priority.


Concepts such as just-in-time (JIT) inventory manage ment are increasingly being reevaluated in favor of just-in-case (JIC) models, particularly in light of disrup tions stemming from events like the COVID-19 pan demic. Firms now emphasize redundancy, nearshoring, and diversification of suppliers to enhance robustness against exogenous shocks.


Financially, exchange rate volatility and cross-border capital flows introduce significant risks. Firms employ sophisticated hedging instruments, such as forward contracts, options, and swaps, to manage foreign exchange exposure. Additionally, transfer-pricing mechanisms are utilized not only for internal cost allocation but also as tools for tax optimization, often scrutinized by regulatory authorities for compliance with the arm’s length principle.


Digitalization and Industry 4.0 technologies—including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT)—are transforming international operations. These technologies facilitate real-time data analytics, enhance transparency in supply chains, and enable predictive decision-making. However, they also neces sitate compliance with divergent data localization laws and cybersecurity regulations across jurisdictions.


Sustainability and ESG integration are increasingly embedded in corporate strategy through frameworks such as carbon accounting, circular economy models, and impact investing. Firms are now expected to align with global standards like the United Nations Global Compact, ensuring adherence to principles related to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.


Ultimately, competitive advantage .........................  international business is contingent ........................... a firm’s ability to integrate strategic, operational, financial, and technological capabilities while remaining adaptive ................... an evolving global ecosystem marked ....................... volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA).

Study the sentences below and decide if they are true ( T ) or false ( F ), based on their grammatical accu racy, vocabulary use, and structural correctness.

(_) There are four prepositions missing in the final paragraph. The most appropriate sequence is: in; on; to; by.

(_) The sentence Hedging instruments are employed by firms to manage risks is correctly written in the Passive Voice.

(_) The word nearshoring, in the fifth paragraph, refers to moving production overseas.

(_) Mitigating transaction costs most nearly means reducing transaction costs.

(_) In the sixth paragraph, the expressions not only and but also, form a correlative conjunc tion pair used to connect two related ideas.

Select the alternative that presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.
