Blogs, LinkedIn articles, and other online publications are channels of communication through which people can share their experiences, perspectives, and expertise directly with readers—and readers can respond via electronic comments. While these electronic channels are usually not as credible as scholarly publications, they are a great way for readers to learn about new topics and for writers to share their insight and expertise with a virtual audience. They are also often supported with references to case studies, reports, and other research.
In this assignment, you will write a paper for a virtual, professional audience to share your knowledge of the module resources about what globalization is and why organizations consider global expansion.
Directions
Create a paper that could be shared online that defines key terms, explains fundamental concepts, and shares relevant examples of why domestic businesses should consider expansion into global markets. The paper should have a brief introduction that explains what readers will gain from the post, a body that provides content supported with textual evidence from the course or outside resources, and a conclusion that summarizes key takeaways for the reader.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Types of Business Environments: Differentiate between domestic and international business environments by defining and providing key characteristics of each type, using supporting evidence.
Example Organizations: Identify three examples each for domestic and international organizations and explain how they meet the criteria for each type of organization, using supporting evidence.
Benefits of Expansion: Explain the key benefits of the international and global expansion of domestic businesses, providing specific examples and using supporting evidence.
Ethical Considerations: Explain the role of ethics in making business decisions regarding expansion to a new market and how ethical decision-making frameworks can be used to help make these decisions. Use supporting evidence as appropriate.
What to Submit
Submit your paper as a Microsoft Word document that is between 350 and 500 words in length. Use APA formatting and cite your sources according to APA style.
