WARNING!!!

Plagiarism will not be tolerated. I have resources at my disposal to detect     plagiarism. Do not “cut and paste” from the internet! AT     THE VERY LEAST, YOU WILL GET A “0” IF YOU ARE CAUGHT PLAGIARIZING.

OBJECTIVES: Companies engaged in international business routinely conduct due diligence surveys of potential overseas markets prior to entry.  This project is designed to give you hands-on experience in pre-entry research and analysis of foreign markets.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:

1. You must first select a country of your choice – EXCEPT the U.S. or ARUBA. Aruba is prohibited because I’ve already provided you a sample copy of a project done on that country.

NOTE: The sample Aruba paper provided is meant to give you a general idea of what I am expecting. It is NOT to be interpreted as being a “perfect” paper.

2. Submit a written report of your findings using the following format:

I. INTRODUCTION (5 points)

Provide a brief description of the physical characteristics of the country.  Include:

· Location

· Size

· Topography

· Climate

II.  SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL FACTORS (20 points)
