What is expected from your presentations (is subject of changing)
Please submit in addition to your presentation slides in power point also your remarks /explanations to the presentation slides: you say more relevant information as on your slides and it is important for judging a quality of your presentation.
Requirements to your presentations will slightly rise with each round and each presentation slightly because we should take in account the learn curve.
For each “piece” of theory you present, please show the practical implementation of it on your presentation-company.
Please follow the causality chain: end purpose of a usual business is sustainable profit – one of the goals/ ways to achieve it are international opportunities.
Then you think in a framework of our course:
1. For international business your company has to choose an entry / cooperation mode (from indirect export to fully owned subsidiary). For the next presentations (until I’ll tell that it is enough) please summarize the entry mode forms, advantages and risks of those forms.
2. Take EPRG factors table for your company (fill it out) and show the possible influence of each factor on international business designs / strategies
3. Take IMGT factors table and do the same as in 2.
4. As you know: to measure profit you have to see the possible /planed / forecasted outcome of you company designs on turn over and costs. Our text book implicitly expected that you know how to calculate design influences on turn over (price and volume strategies) and costs (internal controlling – overall production cost calculation (raw material, labor, machines, overhead). The book assumed as well that you know and can apply project management, organizational structures and processes in industrial environment and system analysis techniques to handle the necessary for task 4 topics.
Try to do your best to present “tangible” results for task 4 and don’t hesitate to ask me for assistance – I’ll explain it in the next weeks on your request.
5. Last but not least: our social factors - power distance, masculinity etc.
Please show them for your company (based on home country etc.) and show as in 2. and 3. the influence of each on the business designs / strategies of your company.
(6). For each task you can analyze:
a) the current retrospective situation of the chosen company,
b) what they should do according our book theory? and
c) what are the actual recommendations for your company to come from what they have done to what they should achieve according b)?
Think you in the role of company managers or internal consultants (staff function) or external consultants.
From now on questions will come also during your presentations and not only after it. We make it more reality like: members of manager board will not allways wait until you finish if they don’t understand, don’t agree or just don’t like what or how you are presenting! Be prepared for it. And again: you have to convince with your theoretical knowledge according our theory and with your practical concept again according to our theory!
