Possible Research Paper Topics The list below contains possible topics. You can choose one of these as it is written, choose one and modify it, or develop a topic of your own. 1. The cultural aspects of doing business in a specific foreign country. Identify and discuss business management issues pertaining to business culture, business social situations, and business customs. Subtopics might include meeting and greeting, the impact of religion, negotiations, gift-giving, dining etiquette, private space, body language, and so forth. 2. Managing political risk in international business 3. International human resource management. You may want to choose a specific country or a specific issue (e.g., women in business) on which to focus. 4. Management styles in international business 5. Select a company that conducts international business. Identify the company, provide a brief history of the company with a focus on global business interests, explain the current global business activities of the organization, and provide commentary on the operation. Possibilities include Infosys, Nestlé, Wal-Mart, and IKEA. See the Name/Company index in the back of the textbook or search for “Global 500 Fortune Magazine” on the Internet for ideas. Corporate websites and annual reports often contain a plethora of relevant information. 6. NAFTA 7. European Union (EU) 8. Offshore production (e.g., in China) or offshore services (e.g., IT or customer call centers in India or the Philippines)

Research Paper Topic Approval Process The topic approval process is intended to bring the student and instructor to a place of understanding as to the topic approved and the requirements for the paper. The steps are as follows: 1. Identify a topic that interests you. 2. Perform some preliminary research to familiarize yourself with the topic and available sources. 3. Submit a proposal containing the information in the format below. This is due as Assignment 2 in Module 3. a. Topic b. A brief description (three-to-four sentences) of what you anticipate writing about in your paper c. Description of the relationship between your topic and the core values of community and/or personal development d. A list of five possible subtopics e. A list of five sources you plan to use. You do not need a complete APA-style reference entry for the topic approval process, though you will for the paper. Provide the title of the article and date (if available) and the URL for the specific article (not the URL for the home page or an index page). Limited use of the textbook is permitted; however, it should not be the primary source. 4. Grading will be based on the following: a. Completeness of the proposal b. Clarity of the writing c. Appropriateness of the topic, subtopics, and resources Proposal Format Copy and paste the template below into a Word document and complete.

Research Paper Guidelines 1. The paper is to be approximately 10 pages long as follows: a. Page 1: Cover sheet b. Page 2: Table of Contents (the listings on this page are to be used as the headings throughout the paper) c. Page 3: Abstract d. Pages 4 through 9: Body of the paper (which includes an introduction with a clearly stated thesis and a conclusion at the end of the paper) e. Page 10: Resources 2. The paper is to be submitted to the Dropbox by the conclusion of Module 7. (This Dropbox basket is linked to Turnitin.) 3. The paper is to be formatted per APA style; in general, this includes the following: a. Text is to be double-spaced; do not add an extra space between paragraphs. b. One-inch margins c. 12-point, Times New Roman font d. Page numbers (required) e. Sources must be cited properly using APA style including a references page and intext/parenthetical citations throughout the paper. f. Material borrowed verbatim (word-for-word) from resources must appear in quotation marks or in an APA-style block quotation format. Note: Per APA Guidelines, both quoted material and paraphrased ideas must be cited using a reference to the author (or title of the article if the author is not identified) in the text (and/or parenthetically) in the body of the paper. All sources referenced in the paper must appear on the References page, and all sources listed on the References page must be referenced specifically in the paper. Material borrowed verbatim must appear inside quotations marks, as necessary. 4. A minimum of five (5) different resources must be used in writing the paper. Research resources will be limited to those available on the Internet (no Internet accessible books) and may be no more than five (5) years old. This is to ensure that a topic relevant today is being addressed from a current perspective. Avoid Internet subscriber services (such as material available only to AOL members or e-magazine subscribers) and material with restricted access (such as material that may only be accessed from systems running on some .mil or .gov domains). 5. Personal experience may be referenced sparingly in the paper, but must be supported by cited research. One of the important aspects of this assignment is to use resource material properly. Choose resources wisely as they must be appropriate for academic research. Blogs, Wikipedia, and travel websites do not meet these criteria. 6. Avoid the use of “I” and “you.” (Avoid writing from the first person perspective.) 7. Saint Leo’s standard Academic Honesty policy applies. 8. The topic must be approved by the instructor and specifically related to international business and the core values of community and/or personal development. Details of the approval process are included below.
