Order Description
This will be a 4 part project which I will use as the writer for all 4 parts. Below is the entirety of the project and then below that is the portion for part 1 which is this request. I will also upload the project template for your reference and then again once I request the paper.
Project Directions:
This assignment requires you to compile Parts 1, 2, and 3 into one document, which will be your final report on the global aspects of your selected company. Do not just copy the material from weeks 2, 4, and 6 into the final paper. Make necessary edits before submitting the paper.
• Your report should be 8-10 content pages, not including title page or references.
• APA format is required, typewritten in double-spaced format (Arial 12-point font or Times New Roman styles), page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right Side = 1 inch, with reasonable accommodation being made for special situations and online submission variances.
• In your report, make certain that you include at least 5-7 outside references from search engines or scholarly sources from the APUS Online Library.
Part 1 Instructions:
Please address the following 10 questions for Part 1:
1. Identify three major countries with which your chosen company operates. Preferably, the three countries are in different continents.
2. Are these three countries members of the IMF, the World Bank, and WTO?
3. Do you believe that these three countries actively follow guidelines of these three major international institutions?
4. Compare the institutional structure of these three countries to determine if they promote globalization, i.e., (a) are their political institutions transparent and (b) do they have a functioning judiciary system?
5. Do you believe that the three countries under consideration practice policies that promote globalization? For example, what are those countries’ policies toward (a) governance, (b) competitive markets, (c) property rights, and (d) corruption?
6. Determine whether your company is a producer of goods or services. What are the major products and/ or services provided by your company? Are those outputs sold only domestically or are they also exported?
7. Do these products and services face tariff or non-tariff barriers in the target export markets? What are the tariff rates or non-tariff barriers imposed on these items?
8. Identify regional trading blocs with which your chosen company operates as well as the benefits that your company gains because it is part of those trading blocs.
9. Would your company be better off under a system of multilateral trade liberalization like the WTO, or with bilateral or regional trading blocs?
10. If you were visiting a foreign country to negotiate a transaction on behalf of this company, what cultural knowledge would you need to gain before the visit? How and from where would you get the information?
My business that this project will need to be about is Toyota Motor.
• You have the option of answering each question individually or in essay format, as will be required in your final report in Week 7.
