INT 113 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a country
analysis PowerPoint presentation that will answer the following
prompt: What country-specific
information is important in the consideration of market entry?
How do cultural differences impact business communication and
decisions?
Your assessment for this course will require you to place
yourself in the role of an international business professional.
Imagine you work for an organization that
has decided it wants to enter a foreign market, but has not
settled on the region or country. Your boss has received the
directive to research some countries for
market entry and, in turn, has asked you to select a country and
perform a country analysis for market entry. Your boss expects
you to present your research and
general recommendations for market entry.
Keeping this scenario in mind, select a country other than the
United States for your research. When selecting a country,
consider the following:
try?
Once you have selected your country, you will begin your
research on the relevant forces—including cultural, political,
and economic—that could impact business
operations and decisions. You will then determine your final
recommendations, communicating all in a PowerPoint
presentation. The research will be
communicated in presentation format, giving you the
opportunity to practice business communication skills.
Checkpoint submissions will be posted within Modules Three
and Six, which will allow the opportunity for you to upload
your project-in-progress for a
participation score. You should follow the Final Project Guide
and use research incorporated into the weekly discussions to
complete the checkpoints. Project
elements will be covered in the weekly discussions to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final submissions. Your
comprehensive final PowerPoint presentation
