another company and operates internationally and one (1) that does not have a history of mergers and 

acquisitions and operates solely within the U.S. Research each company on its own Website, the public 

filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml),

2.  For the corporation that has not been involved in any mergers or acquisitions, identify one (1) 

company that would be a profitable candidate for the corporation to acquire or merge with and 

explain why this company would be a profitable target. 

3.  For the corporation that operates internationally, briefly evaluate its international business-level 

strategy and international corporate-level strategy and make recommendations for improvement. 

4.  For the corporation that does not operate internationally, propose one business-level strategy and 

one corporate-level strategy that you would suggest the corporation consider. Justify your 

proposals.
