Students will be assigned a country to research. For this assignment, you will search resources listed in Course Resources (Management Guides, Business Source Complete database. GMID database, Culturgrams and other library sources) for country guides and profiles, articles, ebooks, and books on doing business with other cultures, and much more. In addition, you can do broad internet searches to locate other relevant data about doing business in your assigned country. Refer to web evaluation criteria to determine credibility and currency for that particular case. Your paper should be about 4 – 6 pages in length. You should compare the culture of the country you are assigned to research with that of your home country. You should indicate how cultural differences influence (a) the costs of doing business in the assigned country, (b) the likely future economic development of that country, and (c) its business practices. You should be conducting research on the assigned country from the perspective of an international business person. Once you’ve finished your paper for submission, please post a summary of your findings on the course Blackboard site in the appropriate discussion forum for the rest of the class. Inform the class about the country’s geographic location, capital city, weather, head of state, population, GDP and relevant information that a businessperson would need to know to do business in your assigned country. Your post should be about 4 paragraphs in length and should be posted directly to the discussion forum (i.e. do not post it as an attachment).
