COURSE PROJECT

As introduced during Week 1 of the course, for your Course Project, you will be exploring contemporary issues in Global Business.

The purpose of your Course Project is to demonstrate your understanding, comprehension, and mastery of the following concepts:

Identify trends and current issues in global business
Assess business issues related to global business
Use global business terminology
Throughout this semester you will be acquiring knowledge on global business topics, theories, as well as terminology. You will apply this new knowledge to your Course Project. First, you will identify a current global business topic. You can choose your topic from the options listed below, or you may choose a current topic that interests you.

Once you have chosen your topic, you will then choose ten (10) current readings/articles that are directly related to your topic from a credible source. Suggestions for sources are listed below as well. Every week, beginning with Week 2, you will review one of your ten articles, and write a 500 word synopsis summarizing the reading and describing how it applies in a practical, professional context to global business.

At the completion of the 10 weeks you will have accumulated ten article summaries. You will then assemble the readings/articles, your ten completed written summaries, a cover page, and a table of contents in a professional portfolio to submit for grading during Week 13.
