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.
