Assignment 3
Addresses Learning Outcomes: 4.This paper
is designed for students to demonstrate the management skill of applying their
skills of planning, leading, organizing and controlling to an extremely current
global issue. This paper is designed for you to identify a problem within the
global marketplace and then apply planning, leading, organizing and controlling
to the identified problem.
After reading
and understanding the text, handouts and on-line discussions, students are to
view the current global business environment. It is important for students to
remember that this is a current snapshot of how things are the day you are
taking this class. The paper does not address global concerns that occurred
more than twelve months ago. Students are also to remember that the
analysis is for a global concern – not something that only concerns the United
States (although the effects on the United States could be mentioned). Students
might want to consider, Non Governmental Organizations, Poverty, and Women in
the Workplace, Families, Currency Exchanges, Micro Loans, Climate Changes, or a
variety of other topics. Remember you are to only pick one issue
and research (Wikipedia references are not accepted) current press, or press
releases, financial statements or whatever primary source data you can identify
that will help to bring forward your diagnosis of a current global concern.
Then apply your recommendations using planning, leading, organizing and
controlling as headings.
Two to three of the main points should come
from the text – the other four or five points should come from library
research (and be noted in APA in the paper).
The paper should answer the following
questions:
·
What is the one current global
issue that is being addressed?
·
Why is the issue global in
scope?
·
Who are the major groups
affected by this global issue?
·
What earlier events contributed
to this global issue?
·
How did this current issue
become important to you?

explained in the text on how the chosen organization did or did not follow the
theories presented?
·
Does each of the main points
have a citation back to the text with a page number and a direct (short – 3 to
5 words) quote?
Conclusion (10%)
·
Is the conclusion a clear and
concise recap of the analysis?
·
The conclusion cannot bring in
any new ideas!
