Learning Goals
To assess factors that create international business opportunities
To identify potential global business opportunities for various foreign markets
Purpose
Some organizations attempt to expand their international operations by seeking foreign markets appropriate for existing products and services. Other enterprises assess foreign business environments in an attempt to meet needs in those markets.
Global Business Opportunities
Potential foreign business opportunities may be viewed in two major categories:
A. Various Country Factors create international business opportunities. These include:
Natural resources, agricultural products, or geographic factors (climate or terrain)
Level of economic development and infrastructure
Cultural characteristics, social activities, or demographic trends
Changing political situations or legal factors
Technology that may enhance production or distribution of an item
B. Relevant Industry Factors- companies attempting to gain entry into new global markets must also evaluate industry factors in order to effectively expand overall market penetration and increase revenues. These include:
Marketing potential
Entry Strategy
Organizational Structure
Business Operations
Marketing and Management Focus
You should consider several possible global business opportunities that could be the basis for new or expanding international business operations- but select only one for this project. This business opportunity may be consumer goods or services; or organizational goods and services, sold to businesses, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, schools, hospitals, hotels, or other organizations.
Some examples of global business opportunities may include:
sale of water filtration systems in developing economies;
sale of specialty food products adapted to the tastes of different cultures;
development of communication systems in countries with a weak infrastructure;
promotion of a variety of businesses (construction, medical, travel, etc.) into countries with expanding economies.
**Remember that you are trying to fill a ‘unique’ need with your business idea. Whether it is a product or service, it should provide something that other competitors do not currently offer. Your business focus also needs to use local resources from your selected country to justify the business being located there.
Development Targets:
1) Use local country resources with your new product or service.
2) Keep your start-up costs below $500,000
3) Avoid involvement with franchises or already existing companies.
4) Have your business operational in 3-6 months.
Conduct Research
Collect data and information to use in formulating this aspect of your business recommendation by considering the following:
POTENTIAL MARKETS
Discuss one of the global business opportunities for your business focus in terms of:
(a) a specific product or service, including customer benefits; and
(b) a potential market—a country that would be appropriate for this business opportunity.
POTENTIAL COMPETITORS
Identify companies that:
(a) have business activities similar (or related) to the business opportunity you are
proposing; and
(b) operate in the country that you are considering for your international business
enterprise.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Discuss the competitive advantages of these companies. (For example, some companies
may gain a competitive advantage as a result of access to raw materials; others may gain
an advantage through the use of technology for production and distribution or as a result
of a well-known brand name.)
ABSOLUTE AND COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES
Analyze for the presence of an absolute or comparative advantage that might be related to
a business opportunity in the country where the item will be produced or sold. Describe
how this analysis might influence the success of your proposed business idea. (For
example, the availability of natural resources can make a business opportunity cost
efficient.)
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS
Compare two or more proposed business opportunities based on factors such as foreign
market potential, start-up costs, and foreign business risks.
Prepare your summary report/recommendation in two parts-
A three-to-four page business plan abstract AND
A PowerPoint presentation (10-12 slides)
The above report should be addressed to your manager or CEO as an employee of the firm.
In addition to the above report content, you MUST include a cover page, table of contents, and reference page (in MLA or APA format) for both components of your project. These items are not counted in the minimum page/slide requirements for your report.
Your report must include the following components:
A clear description of your FDI business plan with specific details about its potential, organizational structure, timeline to be operational, etc. You MUST include the reasons why your selected country is appropriate for this business investment.
An overview of geographic, economic, cultural, political, and technological factors that creates the proposed global business opportunity.
A description of the market potential for this product or service.
A discussion of potential competitors (if any) and their global business activities.
A synopsis of any absolute or comparative advantages (as applicable).
A discussion of global business strategies that could create competitive advantages.
Recommend one foreign business opportunity (within a specific foreign market) for an existing company or a new enterprise based in the United States. Include modes of entry, organizational structure, and management focus as appropriate. Provide evidence to support your proposal.

ESSAY: ISSUES OF IMPLEMENTATION ASSIGNMENT

INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
In this assignment, you will apply the learning material in a meaningful way to clarify your
understanding of the concerns associated with restorative justice, and its future. Some skeptics of
restorative justice approaches like peacemaking alternatives often cite that the process can leave
the victim open to being further victimized, and the offender as being in control. While, this is
not always the case, there are occasions in which peacemaking alternatives are not right for the
victim of the crime and the offender. Because of this, it is important that the implementation of
restorative justice approaches are made in careful consideration of best interests of all the parties
involved. Failure to do so can erode the trust that the community has in the restorative process
which will impact its implementation.

Sunnyside Healthcare is expanding and will be opening a new 150 bed hospital. The executive leadership has charged you with developing a proposal for one of the new units that will fall under the Health Information Management Department at the facility. The unit can be anything you wish, such as information governance, coding, clinical documentation improvement, compliance, release of information, etc. The proposal should include the following components:

1. Identify the types of staff/roles that will need to be hired for the unit. Develop an organization chart for this unit (see example on p. 803 of the Oachs/Watters text). Develop a position (job) description for one of the roles.

2. Develop a plan for recruitment, selection, and retention of employees.

3. Provide information regarding space and equipment needs, ergonomics and aesthetics for the work space (i.e. what impact does the aesthetics of the space have on productivity, will you have remote workers that need space when they come in to the office, etc.).

4. Establish an internal quality management program to include the following:

a. Identify the key processes of the department

b. Identify the primary customers of each process

c. Method to consult with the primary customers to identify their service needs and expectations

d. Develop performance measures and key performance indicators for each key process based on the customer’s needs and expectations. These need to be specific, for example, a work unit may choose to measure coder productivity with a key performance indicator of coding at least 20 charts per day.

e. Develop a plan to monitor the program and improve continuously.

5. Develop a budget for this unit that includes revenue (if applicable), capital, operating, and personnel (see sample budget). Think about items you’d need in the capital, personnel, and operational budget. The budget should be estimates based on your knowledge/research. Keep in mind this is an initial proposal for the work unit, so it is fine to keep it at a high level.

6. In proposing this new unit, you may need to negotiate in support of its needs and goals. Develop a negotiation strategy. What approach will you take? What negotiating leverage do you have, and where can you compromise?

7. Identify the type of leadership style you recommend be used in this work unit and why that approach will be most effective for the employees in this unit. Include inclusive leadership strategies, and the type of leader who would work well with decision making among executive leadership.
This assignment includes components from each of the units in this course, so be sure to look back at all units, especially the readings from the Oachs/Watters text, as well as other reputable resources. Be sure to cite each source (a minimum of 3 is required) and include a reference list.

Case Study Assignment

Step 1: Using the following scenario, complete the case study.

During Winter Break, Alexa, Briana, and Lesley went to a small Mexican town near the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday night, the girls went to a restaurant. Alexa and Briana shared a pizza with ground beef, refried beans, cheese, and some vegetable toppings. Lesley ate a large portion of chicken fajitas. After dinner, Lesley brought her leftover chicken fajitas back to the hotel and stored them in the room’s refrigerator. Saturday morning, the girls ate bagels and fresh fruit. For lunch, the girls stopped at a deli. Alexa had a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and poppy seed dressing. Briana had a shrimp salad sandwich on a toasted multigrain roll. Lesley had a bowl of seafood gumbo soup. The young women were having so much fun that evening, they didn’t have time for a sit-down dinner, so they each ate a hot dog from a street vendor. When they returned to the hotel later that evening, they were a little bit hungry, so they shared Lesley’s chicken fajita leftovers after reheating them in a microwave. Between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Alexa and Briana each woke up feeling nauseous and bloated. They spent most of Sunday sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Alexa also had a very bad headache and chills. Lesley felt fine, but she was stuck in the hotel room taking care of her sick friends all day.

Step 2: In a 1-2 page paper, discuss the following:

Determine what food(s) you think could have potentially been the source of Alexa and Briana’s food-borne illness. Explain your reasoning.
Identify potential sources of food-borne illness for each of the meals the girls ate over the weekend.
Based on their symptoms, a suspected food source(s), and the time of onset, analyze which microorganism(s) were most likely to have been responsible for their illness. Use references to support your claims.
Discuss any precautions that Briana and Alexa could have done differently to prevent developing a food-borne illness. Explain your answer.
