International business report (identifying challenging international business issue)
Budget: $30 – $250 SGD
You are required to write a 2,000-word reflective essay. You must identify and address a challenging international business issue. Ideally, this should be something you or your organisation have had to deal with. If you are drawing on your own experiences, you may wish to anonymise the organisation to protect confidentiality.
Examples could include:
• A firm entering a new market
• A firm developing or changing its international strategy due for instance to alterations in tariffs
• A firm dealing with challenges in relation to international human resource management or international operations management .
This list is not exhaustive, and you are welcome to contact the module leader if you would like feedback on your potential topic.
The essay should draw on and apply relevant theories, frameworks and concepts from the module, and use these to develop an analysis that addresses the following:
A. Identify the challenging international business issue and explain why it is challenging to the organisation.
B. Discuss whether the issue raises challenges linked to ethics, corporate social responsibility (CSR) or sustainability (if it does not raise any of those challenges, please explain why).
C. Explain and critically reflect on how the organisation dealt with the identified issue and any ethics/CSR/sustainability challenges discussed.
D. Consider and evaluate the suitability of AI tools for addressing the challenging issue. Reflect on any ethical/CSR/sustainability concerns that may arise in relation to AI.
As a conclusion to the assignment, you should reflect on what you have learned from the assignment and/or module, and how you plan to apply this learning in your future professional life.
