Assignment 3-Successful Domestic Company Goes Global!

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.

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

1. Create      a guide to leveraging expatriates. The guide should include four to six      (4-6) sources that address benefits and challenges of sending expatriates      to other countries.
2. Examine      the major benefits that this report can provide for the organization, and      suggest two (2) uses for the information contained therein. Justify your      response.
3.

Recommend two (2) countries for expansion.      Provide a rationale for your response.
4. Determine      three (3) criteria that you would consider when deciding which employees      to send abroad. Justify your response.
5. Propose      the major methods and / or incentives you would use in order to encourage      the selected employees to become expatriates. Provide a rationale for your      response.
6. Recommend      one (1) strategy to ensure that both the Executive Committee and the Board      of Directors are committed to the expansions. Justify your response.
7. Recommend      two (2) books that the selected expatriates should take with them when      they go overseas. Provide a rationale for your response.
8. Outline      a guide for expatriates who will reside within another country for one to      two (1-2) years. The related guide should cover the following topics:      selecting items to pack, accommodating a vehicle (i.e., leave behind or      send overseas), shipping or selling furniture, moving pets, and arranging      accommodations for children and / or family residing in another country      for the discussed length of time.
