    Issue Date:  17/11/2016
    Submission date:  Tuesday 17 th January 2017
    This is an individual assignment. It will constitute 100% of your overall mark for the module. Please
    choose  ONE question from the following  FOUR. You are asked to write an  essay- - style answer of
    about  3000 words on the topic you have chosen.
    You are expected to develop your own arguments within the assignment, based on your own critical
    reflection, as well as your wider reading, and the discussions that have taken place during lectures
    and seminars. You are also expected to draw on academic sources such as journal articles, books to
    to support the arguments and analysis within your assignment.
    You should also make sure that referencing and citing of sources complies with the Harvard
    Referencing System. A guide for this can be found online via the University of Sunderland Library
    website.
    Students are required to submit their assignments through JIRA. Only assessments submitted
    through JIRA will be marked. Any other submission including submission to your study centre in hard
    copy will be treated as a non-submission
    All students must submit a Turnitin receipt with the paper copy submission. The penalty for students
    who do not submit their assessed work through Turnitin is that their mark is withheld and the
    assessment board may deem the work to have failed.
    Students may submit drafts through Turnitin prior to submission and generate reports. The last
    submission prior to the deadline will be deemed to be the final submission for assessment purposes.
    This assessment covers the following learning outcomes from the module.
    Knowledge:
    1.  Critically review and apply concepts, terminology & theoretical models associated with
    international business policies and strategies.
    2.  Demonstrate understanding of the political, socio-cultural, economic and technological factors
    that have been found to influence variations in international organisational business structures
    and leadership and management styles
    3.  Critically assess the relationship between national and organisational cultures
    4.  Relate the conceptual theories of ‘internationalisation’, innovation and competitive advantage
    to different industries and locations
    Skills: 
    1. Apply relevant theoretical concepts to real-world business (environment) dilemmas or
    issues, producing a diagnosis and suggesting possible outcomes.
    Assessment Criteria:
    For each question, the competent answer will be  concise, accurate and clearly writt en in your own
    words. It will put forward  your individual analysis of the issues raised, rather than merely offer a
    descriptive account. It will be logically organised and contain a conclusion.
    Drawing on what you have learnt during the module, your assignment should  apply the theories that
    are relevant to the assignment question chosen. In addition, your arguments within the assignment
    should be supported  by drawing on relevant academic literat ure and  examples from companies
    operating in the international business environment,
    You also need to make sure that  direct quotations are cited and acknowledged in compliance with the
    Harvard Referencing System.
    The Generic PG assessment criteria are attached as well as a module interpretation in the form of a
    mark sheet.
    The University’s Policy on Cheating, Collusion and Plagiarism will apply.
    Q uestions
    In answering ONE of these questions, please pay particular attention to the assessment
    criteria

    PGBM04: International Business Environment assignment 代写
    Please also note that
    (i)  as much as possible your answers should draw on real world examples from the
    activities of international businesses and national economies
    (ii)  equal weighting should be assumed for two part questions.
    1. Applying your analysis to a European Multi National Enterprise operating in at least two
    developing economies, critically assess the theories which are available to evaluate the
    extent and potential impact of political risks to its business operations?
    2. In the context of Brexit, and drawing on relevant theory to inform your arguments, set out the
    advantages and disadvantages of a non-EU major manufacturer relocating production from the
    UK to another EU Member State to maintain preferential access to the Single European Market.
    3. Drawing on relevant theory, consider what impact the outcomes of the US Presidential elections
    will have on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations, and what the
    implications are for MNEs from BRIC countries seeking to invest in US and EU markets.
    4. Drawing on current examples from the activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs) from
    emerging economies, critically assess the extent to which the following theories can
    provide effective guidance for expanding their operations into the European Union
    •  Vernon’s Product Life Cycle Theory
    •  Krugman’s First Mover Advantage Theory; and
    •  Dunning’s Ownership-Location-Internalisation (OLI) eclectic theory.
