Overview

Class participation for any student is an important part of your overall evaluation. Class discussions and presentations will relate to reading assignments, but will not necessarily cover all material on the reading list. The course includes  case debates or discussions, which are particularly important method for applying course materials.

For these assignments, students will be evaluated on participation, level of effort, quality of insight into the case issues, effectiveness of presenting ideas, and ability to think on your feet. Overall, your grade on class participation is something to be earned via consistent quality contributions.

Working in groups, you will discuss a Global Business Issue at the beginning of each class. On your day as presenters, you will bring in an Update and present it to facilitate a discussion/debate on the topic. Global managers are often challenged to work and lead within environments where conflicts may arise requiring managers to adapt and conform to institutional based norms which include formal and informal structures (MACRO elements).  At times, these norms will affect firm performance, Managers must conform and be able to leverage specific firm resources and capabilities to compete successfully in challenging environments.

Briefly summarize the article to the class and then explain how it is related to topic of the day. When applicable, you should present multiple perspectives on an issue (whether from multiple countries, cultures, companies, or individuals). When it is your session as an event leader, type and present up to five interesting questions for the class to discuss.

Submit these questions, a copy of the article and a copy of .ppt slides to turn in on your presentation date. The presentation and discussion should last around 15 minutes.

At a minimum, each presentation should contain: 

• A summary of the article and the topic you are analyzing.
• An analysis of the topic/issue as it relates to global business.
• A comment/opinion on the issue and your analysis.
