Going Global

To prepare for this Discussion, select a specific company or  organization and consider how that company or organization creates value  through its international operations.

By Day 3

Post your response to the following:

• Considering all that you know about the complexity of the  global marketplace, including variations in local laws, practices,  customs, and currencies, describe why you think business and nonprofit  organizations decide to "go global"?
• Select a specific company or organization and evaluate at  least one way in which it has created value through its international  operations. Be sure to address the company's international operations in  the context of issues, such as organizational structure, localization,  culture, and control.
• Next, discuss strategies the company or organization has  used in its efforts to organize its international operations. How  effective have those strategies been? Link your discussion post to the  four basic types of strategies identified in Chapter 12 of your  textbook.

General Guidance on Discussion Posts: Your  original post, due by Day 3, will typically be 3–4 paragraphs in length  as a general expectation/estimate. Refer to the Week 4 Discussion 1  rubric for grading elements and criteria.
