Question 1:
Expanding operations requires research and planning; this is especially true when dealing with crossing borders to other regions and countries. During this first project assignment, the focus is to conduct background research on your chosen company, the country, or region of expansion, and the product itself.
Create a 5-7 slide presentation using the speaker's notes section for your content and the slides for presentation purposes. Include the following information:
- Present a brief overview of the company (real or fictional)
- Provide a brief description of the product to include its features, benefits, and limitations
- Conduct an environmental analysis of the country desired for expansion
Your presentation should be proofread for spelling and grammar. Your presentation slides should be concise.
Question 2:
A contract or agreement does not have to be between two companies. Another example of a dispute can be that of companies producing similar products and determining who has the rights to it. In determining a resolution, political risks must be considered. Conducting an assessment of the risk in order to determine the impact (macro- or micro-political) is important.
With this in mind, create a 1-2 page response to the following:
- Research an international dispute
- Describe the dispute and political risk
- Analyze the situation
- Conclude a possible way to avoid the dispute or risk OR a possible resolution
