2. Individual assignment is coming!
In your opinion, what is the most relevant macro-environment factor (legal, political, cultural and economic) for an international business when choosing to internationalise into an emerging/developing country? Discuss any international business concepts or theories that could be used to help justify your answer.

3. Some assignment issues for you to note
You need to ensure that the two articles are reporting on different things
Both articles need to cover different stories
Both articles can be examples/highlight the same concept/factor
The date of each article must be clear
Your 12 references do not include the two newspaper articles
You will need to briefly mention those macro-environmental factors that you do not consider to be most important as well (if only as a comparison)

4. Some assignment issues for you to note
As the format of your paper is an ESSAY you need to include an introduction and conclusion
As the format of your paper is an ESSAY there is NO requirement for a table of contents or an executive summary
Your reference list (listing all the references you have used to develop your essay) is not part of your word count:
but your in-text citations are
For help with referencing please see the Referencing Help document in the folder for Assignment 1 on iLearn under the assessments tab

5. Some more assignment issues for you to note
General issues:
Don’t spend much time outlining your article. You should have attached it anyway.
Headings are ok but need to be limited to two or three at most (do not have Q1a, Q1b etc as headings)
This assignment is not long. You need to choose what you write about and focus on wisely
Comparative analysis is good!
Your articles should serve as platforms to help examine larger themes and answer the main question

6. Final things
Minimum 12 references, balanced across the 5 source types.
Look at the FAQ if necessary – there is a huge amount of information there
Ask your tutor if you have questions concerning your articles.
