Discuss the below:
Project for International Management
You will conduct research about your country and post a synopsis of your research topic for the week on the discussion board. You will also need to cite your resource(s) in APA format at the end of the synopsis. Wiki's are not considered appropriate resources as they are created by the public; however, you may use the resources that are cited in the Wiki if they are credible. Credible generally means peer-reviewed articles, reference materials and books. Many countries have their own version of a population census and economic indicators such as GDP or Consumer Price Index. There will be nine weekly discussion posts for the project.
In these slides you will have:
1. Cover slide
2. Introduction
3. Content from your research
4. References slide in APA format
5. Summary slide
Q: Discuss the principle local industries in your country to include the products and services provided by that country. For example, what is your country known for producing. (example -France - champagne, Italy - fine leather goods)
The Final Course Project will be an individual effort rather than working as a group. The assignment is designed to help you transition from the learner phase of the course to a manager/practitioner of the strategies, concepts and information that you have garnered from your textbook and additional readings during the semester. As you will learn, each business, country, culture, manager and employees will vary in how they conduct their business. Global expansion has afforded many small businesses an opportunity to expand their reach in the marketplace, so please don't limit yourself to only a large corporate or country focus.
Choose a country that you would like to investigate in terms of their import/export needs and policies, their participation in trade agreements, their specific cultural business practices and how geopolitical issues may affect that country. Suggestions for choosing a country include:
1. Personal interest such as a family connection or travel
2. Business interest such as a company you would like to work for does business in that country.
3. Curiosity because of something you have read, such as, in Australia, handguns are banned.
4. The country is frequently in the news you read.
5. You spin a globe and choose where your finger lands.
