Topic: Organisations today face significantly different challenges from those of the past, for example in terms of global recession, climate change, terrorism, international competition, technological change and more mobile workforces. It seems reasonable to suppose that operating in such a complex and unpredictable environment will call for new styles of leadership and new approaches to negotiation. Write an essay explaining ONE major challenge facing organisations in the next five years and its implications for the kind of leadership and negotiation capabilities that they will need to develop. (You may look at a challenge for one particular type of organisation if you wish.)

Topic: Impact of political systems and Trade Embargoes
Study Books Used in Class:

Description: 1) Looking back at history, most East Asian countries were under some form of authoritarian government during the period of take-off; for example, General Chiang Kai-shek was head of Taiwan, General Park Chung Hee was head of South Korea, the British government ruled in Hong Kong, and the military ruled Thailand.
• Does the political system have anything to do with the miracle?

2) Trade embargoes are commonly used by developed countries to punish countries that do not adhere to accepted international community relations. The US in particular has imposed trade embargoes on Vietnam, Iraq, Cuba, North Korea, Libya and others.
To what extent do these embargoes work? Are these embargoes more deadly than, say, an outright war?
