This post is an opportunity for you to analyze important themes from the reading and assess their consequences. Your posts will be graded based on how well you understand the concept, integrate external sources, and the clarity of your post.
Students will create this post by supporting their point of view on the topic by citing materials from the articles linked below and the Power points. I have attached Chapter 5 & 14 Power-points.
Altogether there should be at least 4 sources/in-text citations: 2 from the Power points & 2 from the article websites I linked below.
(PLEASE BOLD THE CONCEPTS PULLED FROM THE POWERPOINTS!)
I found the APA citation for the actual textbook that the Powerpoints are pulled from.
The citation is: Cavil, S. T., Knight, G. A., & Riesenberger, J. R. (2017). International Business: The new realities. Pearson.
The in-text citation is: (Cavil et al., 2017)
Please use these for the concepts pulled from the Power points. Thank you.
TOPIC:
Suppose that you are the chief operating officer of a multinational corporation (MNC) that seeks to expand its profitability in a highly-competitive retailing industry through global expansion into a developing nation state. Would you choose to buy (export) from another country or build your own production/distribution/sales site? On what basis would you decide to buy or build? Why? Explain your answer.
