There are five websites which will provide starter information on which to develop your discussion points for International Business below. Two are diverse rankings lists; the other three are to assist you with research:

Rankings Lists:

Forbes’ List: http://www.forbes.com/best-countries-for-business/list/#tab:overal

World Bank Lists: http://www.ibtimes.com/international-business-opportunities-trends-top-countries-consider-214068

Research Sources:

https://www.export.gov/welcome

http://globaledge.msu.edu/global-insights/by/country

http://www.operationworld.org/countries-alphabetically

Some of the countries are ranked high on the Forbes’ list of countries for doing business; while these same countries are ranked lower on the World Bank list. It will be up to you to discern why the discrepancy. Each week we will review a country and answer the following questions:

1. What would make this country an attractive region or market in which to enter, depending on the type of opportunities your firm is considering? What are cultural influences, including customs and business etiquette in this international market, will affect business practices?
2. If you were to want to start trading with this country, with what type of entry strategy would you begin?

3. What kinds of local representation or institutional support would you need available to you to help you navigate any unforeseen obstacles and explain the laws and contract provisions in order to conduct business and protect your assets?
4. What are some of the limitations (economic, infrastructure, technological) in establishing this exchange relationship (for example, currency fluctuations, or import/export timelines)?
5. What opportunities and limitations are there for communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ? What would be a focus for prayer? Be sure to review the Operation World link above.

Cultural-Interview

Part 1: Interview an individual or family from a culture other than their own. If time does not allow for an in person interview, try a phone interview or ask questions via e-mail. Before your meeting, develop a list of approximately 10 questions on the following topics:

  • Importance and role of the family
  • Religion/spirituality
  • Gender issues
  • Attitudes about mainstream U.S. culture
  • Social class
  • Cultural values
  • Language issues
  • Ambition and family obligations
  • Adapting to America or to a new region of America
  • Experiences with microaggressions or more direct forms of racism or discrimination

Part 2: Write a 4 to 6 page paper summarizing what you learned in the interview. Support or negate your findings with support from research in the Kaplan library. Your paper should include 4 to 6 sources from peer reviewed journals.

This real-world analysis is key to understanding how a company’s profitability, liquidity, and solvency can be useful for all users. Students also learn to analyze financial statements and use managerial tools to make decisions from an investor’s and creditor’s standpoint.

Assignment Steps

Tutorial help on Excel® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft® Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products.

Select two competing companies, one of which must be an international company, and locate annual reports for these two companies on the Internet.

Research the two companies on the Internet and download the Income Statement, Statement of Shareholders’ Equity, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows.
