difference between equity and non equity entry modes
Foreign market entry modes There are two major types of market entry modes: equity and non-equity modes. The non-equity modes category includes export and contractual agreements.[2] The equity modes category includes: joint venture and wholly owned subsidiaries.[3]
Non-commissioned officer A non-commissioned officer or noncommissioned officer (NCO, colloquially non-com or noncom) is a military officer who has not earned a commission.[1][2][3] Such is also called sub-officer in some countries. Non-commissioned officers, in the English-speaking world, usually obtain their position of authority by promotion through the enlisted ranks.[4] In contrast, commissioned officers hold higher ranks than NCOs, have more legal responsibilities, are paid more, and often have more non-military training such as a university diploma. Commissioned officers usually earn their commissions without having risen through the enlisted ranks. "Mustang" is a slang term in the United States Armed Forces used to refer to a commissioned officer who began his or her career as an enlisted service member.[citation needed]
