Article Critique: Locate and critically analyse a recent article on a topic concerning international business strategies and foreign market penetration. You will find such articles in daily newspapers as well as in more dedicated economic/business journals such as The Economist magazine. Factiva, an electronic database system available through the ACU Library also allows you to search for newspaper articles on specific topics.
Please Note - your business article must have been published within the last six months.
Requirements
The article analysis is comprised of a written paper of no more than 1500 words. In preparing your business article critique you should:
- Provide a brief discussion of the article and point out the three most important issues contained within the article. Do not simply summarise.
- Point out the underlying theoretical concepts which are relevant to the article
- Point out the related policy issues (e.g. what government policy is or should be) and debate around the issue.
- Provide a critique if the article contains discrepancies/ ignores important policy problems or issues, or is inconsistent with economic or other theories studied in this unit.
