International Businesses Article Review

WRITING ASSIGNMENT #1

The topics for class during the first several sessions deal with globalization, economics, accounting, forms of business organization and corporate governance.

The assignment focuses on globalization today and its ramifications and consists of:

1) Article Selection – From the Wall St. Journal; New York Times; Financial Times; or the Economist; (NOT the L.A.Times, O.C. Register, or USA Today) select an article that discusses: Status of Globalization today; Outlook for International Business; the Impact of Political Unrest on International Business; or Causes of Income Inequality. The article must be dated between Sept. 22 and Oct. 5, 2019.

2) Essay Writing – After reading and analyzing the article you choose, write a 3 page typed paper (Times New Roman, 12pt font, 1 inch margins, 1.5 spacing) explaining how your chosen article relates to the principles of international business covered in class thus far, including the text book chapters assigned for weeks 1 and 2 or other chapters in the Text. You need to include direct references/quotes from assigned reading and/or lecture.

4) Other Information – Nearly each day the publications listed above have at least 1 article dealing with the indicated topics. The class website has dozens of articles from prior months and years of the type, not necessarily topic, that reflects what you can select as your specific article.

Do Read the attached article, “The Whistle Blower Knows How to Write” from the New York Times, September 27, 2019.

Do Not choose an article talking about the “ups/downs” or gains and losses of the stock market; this is not an acceptable topic at this point in the class.

Do Not select an article that has been handed out in this class or is posted on the class website.

Your paper will be graded both on content and writing style.
Make sure that you read your essay prior to submission and correct all errors of spelling, grammar and other typical writing mistakes.
