For the “Letter to the CEO” paper, I would like you to select a topic of your choice (related to international business). This can be an event, a company, a person, a strategy that a firm is pursuing, a government policy, a corporate policy, etc. I do not want a “book report” where you summarize a topic and spit it back on paper. Select a topic that you can analyze and draw a solution or a recommendation or an alternative strategy based on research and data analysis (hence the name, “letter to the CEO” where you are offering someone a solution, a recommendation, etc.).
Again, I do not want a “book report” where you simply summarize or recap an issue. I want to see critical and analytical thinking and depth of research and analysis that leads to a solution, a recommendation and alternative strategy or support for a strategy similar to my Paraguay example.
Per the above example, “should we establish a market presence in Paraguay”, the following would constitute an acceptable response that goes beyond conjecture. This is the type of analysis I am looking for.
Yes, we should enter Paraguay based on my research and analysis.
• According to the U.N. World Index, Paraguay has grown by an average of 5% over the last 10 years
• Based on my research, Paraguay is a stable democracy. The political freedom index ranks 6th highest according to the U.N. Forum for Democracy
• According to…Paraguay’s GDP per capital has increased by 4% over the last 10 years
• Culturally, Paraguay is compatible with our culture. Their tastes, preferences and life-style preferences are similar to ours based on Hofstede’s six cultural constructs
• Our products have done will in neighboring Uruguay and Argentina, two countries which based on the “Smith Country Comparison”, are similar to Paraguay based on the consumption of non-durable goods.
• According to the WTO, Paraguay has preferential import laws based on the following goods…
• According to WIPO, Paraguay protects patents and trademarks based on European law
You get the point! Your boss will want to see that you analyzed an issue critically and analytically instead of offering guesswork and conjecture. Your boss will want to see that you base your decision on specific research and analysis.
Again, select a topic that is of interest to you. Select a topic where there is room to offer a solution, alternative strategy, specific remedy or recommendation to a pain point, etc. Perhaps you wish to select a topic related to your major. Find a topic that you can weigh in on, for purposes of this paper and for purposes of either offering a solution, drawing a conclusion, or making a recommendation. Select a real-world topic, issue or challenge facing a firm. Structure your paper:
1) The opening (a recap of the topic you selected. What is the issue you are examining? What conclusion did you come to?
2) The body (your supporting research, evidence, and data)
3) The conclusion (your recommendation, solution, conclusion or answer to the issues/challenges, etc.).
Include a cover page and a works cited page. Include your name, class number, section number and date on the cover page. No conjecture! No Book Reports!
Two pages, single-spaced. Use APA or MLP format. Please visit the library if you do not know what APA or MLP styling is. Any diagrams, charts, and graphs are separate from the two pages (as is the cover page and works cited page). I am not a stickler for formatting (APA and MLP), but you must cite your research properly, and the paper must be well organized and well written.
A successful paper will show me that the student engaged in meaningful research. A successful paper will show me that the student analyzed the issue and was able to develop a solution, draw a conclusion or make a recommendation based on analysis of data. A successful paper includes proper grammar, spelling and syntax. Put yourself in my shoes. It is easy to see if a student “winged it” or actually put some time and effort into the paper. Put your “business hat” on and make a decision, draw a conclusion, develop a solution based on research and analysis. Absolutely no plagiarism.

After reading through both books, please identify one similar specific topic, theme or concept and write a 10 page analytical paper on that one topic. Explore that one topic, theme, concept or idea from several angles you can thonk of. If there is an argument involved, examine it from different sides/perspectives. Utlize the assigned books as ‘raw material’ for your discussion, but make the paper about the topic you have identified to write about, NOT about the books per say. In the first paragrah state exactly the chosen topic, theme, concept or idea so the reader of the paper knows exactly what to expect. Stay focused on the topic throughout the paper. You do not really need to state your opinion, although it’s ok if it makes sense to do that, but it is more about demonstrating that you’ve thought through an issue from a variety of perspectives. The paper definitely should not be a summary of both books, the paper has to be analytical.

A Reminder from the Lab 4 Instructions:
Lab 4: Cell Biology and DNA
When you added the salt and detergent mixture to the smashed strawberries, the detergent helped lyse (break open) the strawberry cell membranes, releasing the DNA into solution, whereas the salt helped create an environment where the different DNA strands could clump, making it easier for you to see them.
When you added the salt and detergent mixture, you probably mostly just saw more bubbles form in the bag because of the detergent.
After you added the cold rubbing alcohol to the filtered strawberry liquid, the alcohol should have precipitated the DNA out of the liquid while the rest of the liquid remained in solution.
You should have seen the white/clear gooey DNA strands in the alcohol layer as well as between the two layers. A single strand of DNA is extremely small – too small to see with the naked eye – but because the DNA clumped in this activity you were able to see just how much of it three strawberries have when all of their octoploid cells are combined!
Remember “octoploid” means they have eight copies of their genome.
