Assessment Details: Prepare a written research report that builds on your first assessment (see order #81482409) – using the same criterial mentioned above. It examines an entry strategy and operational structure for your planned move into another country. This assessment must not exceed 3500 words. At a minimum, you will need to discuss: - your chosen entry mode – and why it was chosen over others - why you expect this venture to be successful – the “S” and “W” of your SWOT - the operational strategy and corporate objective - the intended organisational design – including the scope for expansion - capital commitments and considerations (analytical discussion only – no numerical data is needed) - discussion regarding staffing policy A few things to note: ? This is NOT a marketing report ! – rather, this report examines an entry strategy ? Research widely, using credible sources – these MUST be referenced ? Do not directly use cut/paste from your sources – even if it is referenced. You WILL be marked down! Rewrite/reinterpret in your own words. ? DO NOT RECYCLE TEXT FROM ASSIGNMENT #1. You can discuss concepts raised but you MUST present this as new text and extension of earlier ideas – not just a repeat. ? Use report format – professionally presented. Do not exceed the word limit.
