Assignment:
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.
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 https://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."
Next, using the same criteria, compare the information you located from GlobalTrade.net against the Market Research Database from U.S. Commercial Services . 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.
