week 8 assignment

I have attached the first assignment you did for me in week one. I do not know if you need it. Please see below for instruction. I will post another one for presentation.

Every organization conducts research to plan and implement a business idea. The final project for this course is designed to provide the foundation for an international business plan. These activities offer flexibility for many settings related to global business enterprises. The framework may be used for planning global expansion of an existing product or service, or may be used to research a new foreign business opportunity. Each module of this course is designed to gather information for one component of an international business plan.

This is a two-part assignment. First, select one (1) country and (1) product that will be used to develop the GBP. You will complete each section of the GBP and provide a macro level abstract which doesn’t exceed 5 pages and included an bibliography.

An abstract is a written summary of the work that a student completes and formally presents. The purpose of the abstract is to offer a brief summary which gives an overview of the work or project that you will be presenting. It:

• Explains the value of one’s project or presentation.
• Demonstrates an individual’s knowledge of the subject.
• Provides additional details that the student might not have been able to cover on its oral/narrated presentation.

The abstract is similar to a brief paper. You should include an introduction that outlines or details the background of your project and the purpose. Please note, “required final class project” should not be the purpose mentioned in the abstract. Also, provide a summary of your findings based on the research you performed. Finally, draft a conclusion that outlines what is your final decision buy/make, the reason for your decision and what you learned in general. You will end with a bibliography. Remember APA style is required. Your paper should use the following format:
