Read the text below and answer question 21.
ESP is not a matter of teaching 'specialized varieties' of English. The fact that some language features may be more statistically common in a particular context does not create a new form of language. Rather, ESP is an approach to language learning which is based on learner need. The foundation of ESP lies in the question: 'Why does this learner need to learn a foreign language?'. Consequently, the design of a syllabus for a Civil Engineering module must prioritize the communicative demands of the professional fi eld over general linguistic abstraction."
HUTCHINSON, T.; WATERS, A. English for Specifi c Purposes: a learning-centered approach. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987. p. 19.
A professor at a Federal Institute is designing an English module for "Civil Engineering" students. Based on the principles of Hutchinson and Waters, presented in the text, the selection of materials for this course should primarily reflect which underlying ESP principle?

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).
1. The increasing complexity of international business strategy is primarily driven by the need to coordinate value creation across borders under conditions of uncertainty and institutional diversity.
2. The Eclectic Paradigm explains that ownershi p-specific, location-specific, and internalization advantages collectively inform firms’ entry mode decisions in foreign direct investment.
3. Institutional voids in emerging markets may compel firms to rely on informal mechanisms such as relational contracting and political engagement.
4. The transition from just-in-time (JIT) to just-in--case (JIC) inventory models reflects a strate gic shift toward lower supply chain resilience and reduced redundancy.
5. Digitalization eliminates regulatory challen ges by standardizing data governance across jurisdictions.
Select the alternative that indicates all the correct statements.
