Assignment
2: Successful Domestic Company Goes Global!

Due Week 6 and worth 280 points

imagine that you are the CEO of a successful domestic company. In the last 6
months, many potential clients in foreign countries have expressed a desire to
conduct business with you. You know that in order for your company to grow, you
will have to expand overseas. You have recently attended a local three (3)-day
international trade exposition and have gathered many brochures on the foreign
companies interested in doing business with your company.

After meeting with the Executive Committee of your successful domestic company,
you decide that you will need to identify a minimum of two (2) countries for
expansion and two (2) expatriates whom you will send into the chosen countries.
The selected expatriates will learn about the countries’ cultures and business
activities there. You must prepare a report for the potential employees who may
want to take an overseas assignment, the Executive Committee, and the Board of
Directors.

Use the Internet and Strayer Library to research possible countries for
expansion. Next, conduct research on leveraging expatriates over country
nationals for business overseas. Finally, research books that could help
expatriates in their transition to working overseas.

Note: You may create and
/ or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this
assignment.

response.

4.
Determine three
(3) criteria that you would consider when deciding which employees to send
abroad. Justify your response.
