    Issue Date:    Friday 15 th  July 2016
    Submission date:  Tuesday 6 th  September 2016
    This is an individual assignment. It will constitute 100% of your overall mark for the module.
    Please choose ONE question from the following FOUR. You are asked to write an essay‐
    style answer of about 3000 words on the topic you have chosen. All questions are equally
    weighted. 
    You are expected to develop your own arguments for each, based on your own critical
    reflection, as well as reading and discussion in the workshops.   This is not a closed‐book
    assessment. You are expected to use research‐based academic work, such as journal
    articles, books, and other sources. Remember to provide full references, using Harvard
    referencing, at the end of each answer for any material that you refer to.
    All students must submit a Turnitin receipt with the paper copy submission.  The penalty
    for students who do not submit their assessed work through Turnitin is that their mark is
    withheld and the assessment board may deem the work to have failed.
    Students may submit drafts through Turnitin prior to submission and generate reports. The
    last submission prior to the deadline will be deemed to be the final submission for
    assessment purposes.  
    Students are required to submit their assignments through JIRA. Only assessments
    submitted through JIRA will be marked. Any other submission including submission to your
    study centre in hard copy will be treated as a non‐submission.
    This assessment covers the following learning outcomes from the module. 
    Knowledge:
    1.  Critically review and apply concepts, terminology & theoretical models associated
    with international business policies and strategies.
    2.  Demonstrate understanding of the political, socio‐cultural, economic and
    technological factors that have been found to influence variations in international
    organisational business structures and leadership and management styles
    3.  Critically assess the relationship between national and organisational cultures
    4.  Relate the conceptual theory of ‘internationalisation’, innovation and competitive
    advantage to different industries and locations
      
    Skills: 
    1. As an individual apply relevant theoretical concepts to real‐world business
    (environment) dilemmas or issues, producing a diagnosis and suggesting possible
    outcomes.  
    Assessment Criteria:
    For each question, the competent answer will be concise, accurate and clearly written in
    your own words. It will put forward your individual analysis of the issues raised, rather
    than merely offer a descriptive account. It will be logically organised and contain a
    conclusion. 
    Your assignment should also consider and apply the relevant theories and your
    arguments should be supported by drawing on relevant literature and examples from
    international business.  Where you draw on the views, words and research of others, these
    will be acknowledged as references and cited clearly in your answer conforming to the
    Harvard referencing system. 
    The Generic PG assessment criteria are attached as well as a module interpretation in the
    form of a mark sheet.  
    The University’s Policy on Cheating, Collusion and Plagiarism will apply.
    Questions
    In answering ONE of these questions, please pay particular attention to the assessment
    criteria set out on the previous page.
    1.  Drawing on relevant theories critically assess what impact the alleged rising power of
    the BRICS and the MINTS will have on the global financial and political institutions and
    the implications for multinational enterprises seeking to access and develop business
    in these markets. 
    2.  Drawing on case study examples, critically analyze to what extent and in what ways
    MNE’s should be concerned with Corporate Social Responsibility and the social impact
    of their globalized operations? 
    3. Critically compare and contrast the following theories as explanations of the process of
    business internationalisation
      Dunning’s Eclectic Paradigm
      Kruger’s First Mover Advantage Theory
      Vernon’s Product Lifecycle Theory
    4. Identify TWO global businesses (in different industry sectors) and critically compare and
    contrast how successful these businesses have been in using social media, and what
    lessons other organizations can learn from their experience?

    50 – 59%
    Some attempt to
    address the
    requirements of the
    assessment: may
    drift away from this
    in less focused
    passages
    Adequate
    knowledge of a fair
    range of relevant
    material, with
    intermittent
    evidence of an
    appreciation of its
    significance
    Significant
    analytical
    treatment which
    has a clear
    purpose
    Generally coherent and
    logically structured, using an
    appropriate mode of
    argument and/or theoretical
    mode(s)
    May contain some

    minor lapses from
    standard grammar,
    with acceptable
    format 
    Uses a good variety of
    literature which includes
    recent texts and/or
    appropriate literature,
    including a substantive
    amount beyond library
    texts.  Competent use of
    material.
    40 – 49%  Some correlation
    with the
    requirements of the
    assessment but
    there is a significant
    degree of
    irrelevance 
    Basic understanding
    of the subject but
    addressing a limited
    range of material
    Some analytical
    treatment, but
    may be prone to
    description, or to
    narrative, which
    lacks clear
    analytical purpose
    Some attempt to construct
    a coherent argument, but
    may suffer loss of focus and
    consistency, with issues at
    stake stated only vaguely, or
    theoretical mode(s) couched
    in simplistic terms
    Sound work which
    expresses a coherent
    position only in broad
    terms and in uncritical
    conformity to one or
    more standard views of
    the topic
    A simple basic style
    but with significant
    deficiencies in
    expression or format
    that may pose
    obstacles for the
    reader
    Evidence of use of
    appropriate literature which
    goes beyond that referred
    to by the tutor.  Frequently
    only uses a single source to
    support a point. Weak use of
    quotation
    Fail
    35 – 39%  Relevance to the
    requirements of the
    assessment may be
    very intermittent, &
    may be reduced to
    its vaguest & least
    challenging terms
    A limited
    understanding of a
    narrow range of
    material
    Largely descriptive
    or narrative, with
    little evidence of
    analysis
    A basic argument is evident,
    but mainly supported by
    assertion and there may be
    a  lack of clarity and
    coherence
    Some evidence of a
    view starting to be
    formed but mainly
    derivative.
    Lots of deficiencies
    in expression and
    presentation; writer 
    achieves clarity (if at
    all) only by using a
    simplistic/
    repetitious style
    Barely adequate use of
    literature.  Over reliance on
    material provided by the
    tutor.  
    The evidence provided shows that the majority of the learning outcomes and responsibilities appropriate to that Level are satisfied.  
    30 – 34%
    The work examined provides insufficient evidence of the knowledge, understanding and skills appropriate to the Level of the qualification.  The evidence provided shows that some
    of the learning outcomes and responsibilities appropriate to that Level are satisfied.  The work will be weak in some of the indicators.
    15‐29%  The work examined is unacceptable and provides little evidence of the knowledge, understanding and skills appropriate to the Level of the qualification.  The evidence shows that
    few of the learning outcomes and responsibilities appropriate to that Level are satisfied. The work will be weak in several of the indicators.
    0‐14%  The work examined is unacceptable and provides almost no evidence of the knowledge, understanding and skills appropriate to the Level of the qualification.  The evidence fails to
    show that any of the learning outcomes and responsibilities appropriate to that Level are satisfied. The work will be weak in the majority or all of the indicators.
