ADDITIONAL NOTES / INFORMATION:
Given a company, the student will determine how government regulations affect the company and how to overcome barriers within the Domestic Environment using business theory.
The overall domestic environment is a determinant of a country's long–run economic performance. There are positives and hurdles for the environment. Banks, institutions, and regulatory agencies can produce good results for a domestic environment. However, a company can encounter limitations by limited domestic markets, strain on infrastructure, and capital market weakness.
Please note: the domestic environment is the home country of the company. For instance, the domestic environment for US Airways is the U.S. The domestic environment for Guiness is Ireland. The domestic environment for Honda is Japan.
This week you need to include business theorist(s): a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something in business. Here are a couple of sites to get you started. Please note that the Wiki site is not to be used as an academic source; it is merely a starting point of a lengthy list of business theorists. Take that information and then search to find scholarly academic sources. Here is a good list of Business Theorists in one place

All Sources must be “Scholarly Article or Book”. A scholarly article or book generally is based on original research or experimentation. It is written by a researcher or expert in the field who is often affiliated with a college or university. Most scholarly writing includes footnotes and/or a bibliography and may include graphs or charts as illustrations as opposed to glossy pictures. In addition, articles that appear in scholarly journals or book that are published by academic presses, are subject to a peer-review process, which means that other "experts" or specialist in the field evaluate the quality and originality of the research as precondition of publication. The peer-review (as opposed to editorial review) process is also one thing that sets scholarly journals apart from journals that may otherwise seem quite similar. Journals such as Foreign Affairs, for instance, are generally not considers "scholarly journals," because many of the articles are solicited by the magazine's editors; in addition many of the articles are written by policy-makers who may be expressing an informed view, but whose article may not be based on original research.
Scholarly research is typically published by a academic association or a university/academic press. In international relations and comparative politics, representative scholarly journals include Asian Survey, Comparative Politics, International Organization, International Security Studies, Journal of Comparative Politics, Journal of Democracy, and World Politics.
