International business.

This assignment requires you to write a 1,750 word original essay answering the following  Questions:

Critically evaluate the Danone case study using key frameworks of international business.

The intended learning outcomes are that on completion of this module the student should be able to:

 Identify and employ appropriate strategic frameworks to evaluate the structures of global trade and international business.

 Critically evaluate the impact of socio-economic, political and legal environments on international business.

 Explain and assess the operational strategies used in international business and the importance of these strategies in global business development.

 Analyse the differences between domestic and global business operations.

In the essay you should use the theories and frameworks of international business as analytic lenses to explain Danone’s international strategy.

Your essay could draw on a range of the frameworks that you have studied as part of this module. The nature of the case means that you are likely to focus your answer on a discussion of strategies  for foreign market entry, and international strategic alliances. You may also want to bring in some of the issues you will have encountered in the lecture and seminar on international strategy

Topic: Individual Report

Topic: Individual Report

Please select one of the subjects below as your individual coursework brief. Report format only

1. “Food retailers need to retain their flexibility and responsiveness to consumer needs. This is not because there is a threat from newcomers because the barriers to entry are very high, rather it is because a small loss in sales volumes can have a significant impact on profitability “(Mintel 2010).Identify a supermarket currently operating in the UK and assess the market environment they currently trade in. Consider all aspects of their strategy and how they are responding to their customer’s changing tastes and buying behaviour in such a competitive market to maintain or increase market share.

2. “There are several advantages to a retailer’s enacting a multi-channel approach, including the selection of specific channels based upon their unique strengths, opportunities to leverage assets, and opportunities for increased sales and profits by appealing to multi-channel shoppers” (Berman et al. 2010, p.174).

Select a non-food retailer operating in the UK who has adopted additional sales channels to maintain or increase their market share. Provide analysis of their strategy and motivations for creating additional sales channels, and how his has affected their overall market position. Remember the customer is key, so how have they adapted their channel strategy to suit their changing behaviours.

Please also ensure that you have fully referenced your reports and have used the APA6th Referencing system as required by the University. A copy of the PDF outlining the use of this system is available on Learning Resources.

The Rhetorical Stance

The Rhetorical Stance
Read Booth, “The Rhetorical Stance” and Connors, “Personal Writing Assignments” Booth identifies three “stances” that he has seen in student work. One of these, the “pedant’s stance” (think of the adjective pedantic), might be applied by some to describe much of student academic writing,which has also been described as “arhetorical.” Connors, in his history of “personal writing” assignments, touches upon similar issues in describing various ways teachers have attempted to make school writing relevant and meaningful to students. Connors also describes a “backlash” against personal writing as a remedy.
Drawing upon Booth and Connors (also thinking of Toye Chapter 2), offer an explanation of the causes of the “pedant’s stance” and then suggest some possible remedies (not specific assignments but guiding principles for creating assignments). Your audience are other teachers at an in-service workshop and you are on a panel entitled, “Helping Students Make Meaning that Matters.”
Your presentation should be at least two-doubled spaced pages (about five minutes spoken) and should include an overview of Booth, ideas/commentary from Connors, and a few “bullet point” take-away ideas for the the other teachers.
