Basically, I want to find out what you think you learned in this class about the theory vs. the practice of international/global business. You all were assigned to read the textbook, take the exams, and discuss the case studies assigned. You also completed your own Global Business Plan (GBP), working alone, investigating the company and country combination of your choice.
Complete a three-to-five page essay (1500-2000 word count?). Again, this could take the form of a reaction essay or a critical review of your experience studying international/global business, completing the class assignments, including your GBP project. Try to compare what our textbook said “in theory” versus the realities of “practice” (as reflected in the case studies and newspaper and magazine articles you read this quarter AND from your experience doing the Global Business Plan).
The assigned articles are located at the “Schedule-b bus” document. Using three to six articles to compare with the textbook which is the document from 3 to 20. Also, this essay should relate to the Global business plan too. The two central questions: How well do the theories and concepts from our textbook match up with the realities (or practice) of doing business internationally or globally? If they match up well, discuss why they tend to do so. If they do not match up well, discuss why they do not, and what we could or should do about doing business better or smarter in the “real world”.
