The report should be structured in the following way:
Introduction: a brief overview (about 200 words) of your country of choice and the entry mode
based on which you conduct your analysis of challenges and solutions. (Note: the country of
choice and the entry mode can be different from what you have chosen in your group
presentation).
Challenge one
– What is challenge one
– Strategies/practices to address challenge one
Challenge two
– What is challenge two
– Strategies/practices to address challenge two
Challenge three
– What is challenge three
– Strategies/practices to address challenge three
Conclusion

Conclusion
While it is for you to decide upon the content of the report, you might feel it appropriate to
include aspects such as:
– analysis of MNC strategies and recommendations
– the firm’s foreign policy (if appropriate)
– global sourcing and procurement decisions (if appropriate)
– a discussion of employment practices and ethics in global supply chains (if
appropriate)
– subsidiary staffing and use of expatriates (if appropriate)
– innovation and knowledge management practices (if appropriate)
– the future vision of the MNC (if appropriate)
Please note that these are only suggestions. A good report would not need to cover all these
aspects. You will not be able to cover all aspects of international management in depth. You
need to decide the scope of the report, which areas to focus on and explain why you have
chosen them to be most relevant to your analysis.
Maximum length of coursework elements: 2000 words
Students are asked to note that the word count is the absolute upper limit. There is no leeway over
this, i.e. you will be penalised if you submit work that exceeds the word limit (the suggestion that you
may exceed the word count by 10% is a myth!)
The following are not included in word counts:
Reference lists/bibliographies and question titles
Appendices/footnotes – provided these have been used only when necessary. If
appendices or footnotes are used excessively, or contain material which should clearly
be included in the main body of the essay/report, it is at the markers’ discretion to
include these in the word count.
Tables/graphs – provided these have been imported from elsewhere (correctly
referenced) and not produced by the student.
Contents pages and front pages of reports
Tables and graphs – provided these have been imported from elsewhere (correctly
referenced) and not produced by the student.
