DO NOT REPORT ON A REAL COMPANY

 

As graduate students, you understand the importance of utilizing research to develop solutions to the problem statements associated with the writing assignment questions. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the different tools that can be utilized to determine the best locations to expand trade operations.

For this assignment, you will utilize the two international trade market research sites listed below (plus your own research strategies) to evaluate the best country to establish trade. Using the same company from the Week 4 discussion, examine the Market Analyses provided by GlobalTrade.net, located at http://www.globaltrade.net/international-market-analyses-reports.html. On the left-hand side of the page, there is a section titled, “Browse the Market Analyses by Industry.” Click on the industry that is closest to the selected company from the Week 4 discussion. Review the resources that this search yields in order to gather information on possible countries where the company could expand.

Next, using the same criteria, compare the information you located from GlobalTrade.net against the Market Research Database from U.S. Commercial Services located at https://www.export.gov/Market-Intelligence. You may also use the Internet or Strayer databases to conduct any additional research.

Finally, expand your research using information provided by the course textbook, company websites, country government websites, CIA World Factbook, Strayer digital library, or other expert resources.

Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment. The business can be any business of your choosing, although it is recommended that you choose a field that you are currently working in or have previously worked so that you are starting with more knowledge. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to identify the organization(s) that you have used.

Tip: Review previous discussion posts.You may have already started something on which you can expand in this assignment.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question (except Questions 1 and 6) under the following section headings:

• International Market Research by Industry (for Question 2)
• Market Research Information (for Question 3)
• It’s Your Call — Where Are You Going to Look When You Need Information? (for Questions 4 and 5)

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you do the following:

1. Provide a brief (one [1] paragraph) description of the core industry associated with the organization (selected in Assignment 1) and provide a current assessment of the opportunity this industry offers for global trade.  
2. From your research efforts on the Global Trade site, recommend at least one (1) country that would provide market potential for this industry, as well as your company culture. Support your answer by providing your findings as they relate to key factors that would support this industry (consumer needs, economies of scale, adoption rate of culture, brand awareness, market stability, political stability, infrastructure, or logistical considerations).
3. From your research efforts on the U.S. Commercial Services site, recommend a different country that would provide market potential for the industry and your company culture. Support your answer by providing your findings as they relate to key factors that would support this industry (consumer needs, economies of scale, adoption rate of culture, brand awareness, market stability, political stability, infrastructure, or logistical considerations).
4. Determine which of the two (2) sites provides better marketing research information for developing an effective global strategic growth plan for your company and related industry. Discuss the reliable standards that are available to fact-check the accuracy and timeliness of the data provided by international trade sites.
5. Describe the primary barrier to entry that may impact the success of your company’s international expansion. Provide a rationale for your response.
6. Use at least six (6) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Evaluate the economic, political, legal, financial, and cultural factors of global trade.
• Analyze global segmentation, positioning, and research essential for developing a comparative advantage.
• Analyze the main drivers associated with market entry, pricing strategies, and frontline sales in the global marketplace.
• Examine the main types of global distribution systems and global logistics.
• Evaluate the theories of international trade design in the development of a global strategic plan.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in global marketing management.
• Write clearly and concisely about global marketing management using proper writing mechanics.

Respond to at least two classmates using the required response prompt for their option (e.g., if your initial post was Option 1, then respond to posts from Option 2, 3, and/or 4; if your initial post was Option 2, then respond to posts from Option 1, 3, and/or 4; if your initial post was Option 3, then respond to posts from Option 1, 2 and/or 4; or if your initial post was Option 4, then respond to posts for Option 1, 2 and/or 3). Your initial post should be 150–250 substantive words; your response post should be at least 100 substantive words.

 Option 3: Patient Safety – Hot Coffee

Sarah, Abdullahi, Tameko, Charnise and Sabrina

Watch the series of YouTube videos by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform related to the documentary movie Hot Coffee, and consider watching the full-length feature film Hot Coffee provided in your Recommended Resources. Explain whether you believe that our justice system promotes frivolous lawsuits or protects against them when it comes to this case.

• Analyze the various elements that people should take into consideration prior to filing a lawsuit that might be perceived as “frivolous.”
• Explain the ethical considerations surrounding such lawsuits in the health care arena.

Indicate whether you have been assigned Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, or Option 4 at the beginning of your discussion post.

Required Response: By the end of Day 7, respond to at least two classmates using the required response prompt for their option (e.g., if your initial post was Option 1, then respond to posts from Option 2, 3, and/or 4; if your initial post was Option 2, then respond to posts from Option 1, 3, and/or 4; if your initial post was Option 3, then respond to posts from Option 1, 2 and/or 4; or if your initial post was Option 4, then respond to posts for Option 1, 2 and/or 3).

Refer to the grading rubric posted in the Baby project module for  grading details.  Your goal is to apply the theories and concepts listed  on the rubric to make a cohesive story of your child’s life from birth  through age 18. 

You are expected to incorporate the information you created for the  individual stage assignments throughout the semester.  But you also have  to add a specific introduction and conclusion based on the rubric.  You  also need to discuss some other cognitive and social/emotional concepts  that you did not address in the earlier assignments.  And in many  cases, you need to provide more detail in the examples you turned in  previously.

You can be as creative as you would like to be.  For example, you can  choose to provide a generic approach or pretend you are the parent, or  psychologist working with this family. Most students organize the paper  by the stages, then discuss all relevant concepts within those ages.   But you may choose to organize your paper in a topical way:  Piaget,  etc.   You may also insert photos or clip art if you wish.  

Whichever way you decide to organize your paper, be sure to clearly  identify theories and the examples connected to them.  Since I am not a  mind reader, if you don’t clearly state that what you are discussing is  intended to be a reflection of Vygotsky’s theory, I won’t have any way  to know that.  You can put section and subsection headers or use bold or  italics or parentheses to highlight the theorist name or concepts you  are using. 

It is expected that your final paper will be about 6-10 pages but it  is no problem if it is longer.  If it is much shorter than 6 pages, it  would be likely to be missing some elements but the key is to cover all  of the rubric sections in detail and with clear examples.  

Below is a section of a sample paper that illustrates one way to  approach the discussion/application of the stages:  *** Be aware that  your paper also requires Bronfenbrenner’s theory****
