Paper assignments will allow students to put into practice the material discussed in each part of the book. You will choose an international company which you will dissect throughout the course. Each paper should be between three to four pages in length and discuss the part of the book we have discussed so far. More explanation is given on Canvas for each paper.
- Papers/discussion boards/final individual paper (they) should be double-spaced and typed with 1″ margins (top, bottom, right, and left).
- Type size should be 12 pt, times new roman or calibri; 1.5 lines for line spacing.
- Your name and class at the top left. Please use a cover page.
- Chapter number and title at the middle of the paper (top).
- They should cover all concepts and examples.
- APA style and references section required.
For Papers 1, 2, 3 and 4, you will choose any company you want and will use it for all these four papers; it can already be international or not. Each paper will work on a part of the international strategy of the company you chose. At the end of the term, you will take these parts and combine them for the final individual paper (see “Individual paper” under “Assignments” for more information).
In order to create competitive advantages, a company must assess its internal and external environments. We do this with a SWOT analysis. (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats)
In 3 or 4 pages (Not including your cover page or citations), create Paper 1, in which you explain the internal and external environments of your chosen company.
Do not forget to use APA formatting, citations, your references (you need a minimum of five references for this paper; you will use these in your final individual paper; see instructions for the final paper) and to upload as .doc or .docx so I can give you feedback. 12 font, double spaced lines, times new roman or colibri, please. For additional information, see “All Assignments” in the syllabus.
