International business unit ii powerpoint and dq question
Unit II PowerPoint Presentation
Your company wants to put a ball-bearing factory in Africa. Your company predicts this is where the most growth will be in
the 21st century. Your assignment is to research a country on the African continent that you think would be the most
advantageous to your company in cultural, economic, and political environments.
Your assignment is to point out and explain the facts or statistics that you think would make this country a good place to
build and staff your factory. Remember to keep the cultural, economic, and political environments in mind. Your
presentation must include at least two facts or statistics that relate to each environmental area (cultural, economic, and
political).
Feel free to use the suggested readings as a starting point for your research on sources of data about different countries
in the world. You must use at least three authoritative sources, and you are required to use the CSU Online Library for at
least one of your sources. Pull a minimum of two facts or statistics from each source that you use.
Some good examples of authoritative sources are provided below:
The U.S. State Department http://www.state.gov/p/af/ci/index.htm
The World Bank http://data.worldbank.org/country
The Academic Search Complete database features information on countries through the CIA World Factbook.
The Business Source Complete database has a “Country Report” that can be selected in the Publication Type area.
These reports by country can be 200-plus pages and are very in depth.
Your PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides. Be sure to use APA guidelines to cite and reference the
sources for your facts.
