澳洲Assignment指导样本 Individual Assignment

题目要求：

You are expected to submit one assignment that reflects the international business environment in which a company operates. You will select one company from the list of Global 100 Australias Top International Companies uploaded on WebCT under Individual Assignment. The list only presents the companies ranked by foreign revenue. You must select one company and research in which countries the company of choice has engaged in FDI (Foreign Direct Investment). Select a country and then proceed to analysing the business environment in that country.

 

 

The assignment takes the form of a report to the CEO at the headquarters of the company. Your assignment should contain a maximum of 2,000 words ±10%. You should bear in mind the following:
the CEO knows the company and its products or services well and thus does not need specific information on those;
the CEO needs to be informed about the possible risks to the company caused by peculiarities of the business environment in the foreign country;
the CEO does not have time to read the piles of paper you are able to copy for him/her from the internet. He only has time for a focused but informative and analytically sharp report;
attention should be paid to any aspect of the business environment relevant to the firm and its products/services, such as political environment, government regulation, commercial law, IP, level and rate of economic development, demographics, position in international trade and investment, environmental law, regional cooperation, etc.;
the main purpose of the assignment is to analyse the business environment in a country for the Australian company of your choice. Do not copy general information about the country from the internet (for instance info found on CIAs The World Factbook), but limit yourself to a sharp analysis of what is relevant to the CEO.

This course is a broad survey of the field of international business and provides the foundations for further specialisation in this field. It begins with a brief overview of international business, focused on the concept of globalisation. The course will then examine the environment for international firms, particularly the political, social, economic, technological and other configurations that support cross-border trade and investment. Amongst others, we will look at the role of national policies, cultures and business systems, the evolution of international markets in goods, services and finance, and the supernational mechanisms and infrastructures for trade, investment and finance. The course will then probe international firms: their strategies and organisational design, their entry modes into international enterprise, and their behavioural and control systems. #p#分页标题#e#
Discussion of current events/affairs and how these impact on international businesses is a major part of the course, for instance issues relating to international trade, foreign investment, international political conflict, financial crises, etc.
