Global Financial Management: FIN630

Unit 3 Discussion Board – Part 1

 

            It has been very beneficial that majority our assignments are leading up to the Unit 5 individual project.  Looking at the project on its own can be somewhat intimidating.  However, over the course of completing some of these projects I have learned it’s best to break them up and try to cover some of the material each week.  And just being honest here, I am just getting started on my Unit 5 project.  The financial classes can at times, seem overwhelming, so I thought it would be in my best interest to learn the material over the first couple units to get a solid grasp on the material to ensure confidence throughout the project. 

            My first hurdle is to decide if I will be selecting a company within the European Union or a company that is outside of the union.  To do this I really need to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of the EU.  My thought at this point is to select a company within the EU, but I’m still figuring that out.   Once that decision is made, that is when the research really begins.  There are several advantages and disadvantages so digging in and getting a full understanding of the why’s and why not’s is very important.   In conducting my research, the findings will be identified and noted in my outline so all the information is in an easy to understand format to get my ideas across clearly and concisely.  Please see below for a preliminary outline of my project.  Hence the word preliminary!  I tend to add quite a bit to my outlines as I work through the material.  What you see below is basic, but plenty to get me started.
