Report Writing Assignment:

Task: You have been selected as a ‘Business Development Executive’ of a Multinational Company established in your home country. Your CEO is strongly interested in expanding its current manufacturing and sales (both domestic and export) activity to new markets, Australia in particular. However several directors have raised concerns over the extent to which your firm would be exposed to business risk in certain countries, and requested a broad analysis of risk for those countries. The analysis is to consider key aspects of the international business environment including but not necessarily limited to areas such as economic prospects, culture, legal systems, ethical practices, investment environment and stability. At the initial stage, you may not be certain about which particular industry you might consider in the country level analysis, as it may emerge as a result of your analysis and investigation. You are required to prepare a country report to provide the company with important information for making a decision. Support your evaluations and recommendations with reference to your subject knowledge, real life examples, and other relevant and reliable sources. The country you will be responsible for  assessing, and a guide to the marking of the quality of your report, will be advised in Week 1/2.
