COMPANY CHOICE ESSAY: For students who wish to complete just a traditional essay, follow this option. The industry essay has a minimum of four (4) pages and a maximum of five (5) pages and requires you to apply concepts studied in the course regarding a company of your choosing within the industry for which you signed up. (MY INDUSTRY IS FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY)
The essay must be between 4 and 5 pages (not including your sources page), double-spaced, and use no higher than 12-point Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins. Your essay must be submitted as either a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx) or Adobe .pdf document.
YOU MUST USE THE HEADINGS BELOW IN YOUR PAPER OR WRITTEN SUMMARY AND YOU MUST ANSWER EACH QUESTION IN THE HEADING!!!
Your essay or presentation must address each of the specific set of questions laid out below. It must be divided into the following parts listed below. I am doing this to help students better organize their thoughts when putting their essays or videos together.
(Introduction, Problem, Implications, Analysis, Conclusion)
1. Introduction: Introduce the companywhat are they and what do they do? What is its
history? How did they develop? How are they structured (multi- domestic, truly global, etc.)?
2. Problem: What problem(s) did the businesses face and what were theprimary causes? What additional factors affected the situation? How did the businesses work to solve the problem(s)? Were the businesses successful in solving the problem(s)? Why or why not?
3. Implications: What are the potential implications of the issues the companies faced? In other words, how did (or how will) the problem impact thebusinesses?
4. Analysis: How can the theories and concepts we have learned in class beapplied to or explain the situation?
5. Conclusion: What is the international outlook for the companys future (if you do not think your company will expand internationally, you must give a reason why using the concepts we have studied this semester.)
