Assignment 3: Globalization

Directions:

Think about what you have read and seen in the news on globalization. Consider the fact that the clothing we wear, the cars that we drive, the cell phones we use to communicate and the computers we use to work, are each likely to have been manufactured in whole or in part in different parts of the world. While there are still companies and firms that maintain local and national borders, it is almost unheard of in the 21st century that an industry does not maintain an international strategic position.

From an executive’s position, identify and explain at least three challenges and opportunities that might face an international executive over the next five years. Provide possible solutions of how the executive might address these issues in order for their firm to maintain a competitive advantage.

Prepare a 4-6 page paper that describes the impact of globalization on U.S. businesses. In your analysis, please include information about the impact of at least four economic drivers that might impact globalization.

SWOT Analysis: The next step in your marketing plan is the development of a SWOT analysis, an examination of your competition environment, and a cataloging of the primary product-service mix of your destination. Refer back to pages 171-172 of the textbook. As you read through the questions, you will want to replace the terms “operation” and “organization” with “destination”.

B. SWOT Analysis

1. Strengths…….What are the internal strengths of the destination? What does the destination do well? Etc.

The research you did in Unit II and Unit III should assist you. Another interesting source for information would be to take a look at sites which have reviews such as, http://www.tripadvisor.com, http://www.virtualtourist.com or other site you use or find. There seems to be a limitless supply of review sites. These reviews will provide an interesting view of the destination along with its hotels, restaurants and attractions. Write at least 200-300 words, and briefly address each step in this analysis and answer the appropriate questions.
