Here are your groups and topics based on the preferences and suggestions that you submitted. In most cases, I was able to assign you one of your top three topics plus group you with persons that you suggested. Those submitting late information have been assigned to groups having available space. I've found that groups over 5 persons are simply too big! We'll go over the nuts and bolts of the project during the latter part of Tuesday's class, so bring your syllabus. This has all my grading criteria clearly spelled out.
 

You'll note that our presentation dates are Dec. 3 and 5th. Talk among the persons in your group to see if you prefer one or the other. I will ask each group to submit their first preference. Preference will be given to persons with other major presentations on the same days.I will be using information directly from the presentations as examples on your final exam, so attendance is mandatory.
 

Your next step is to work on refining your topic down to a manageable and interesting focus. Usually this can be done in several practical steps:

a. schedule a meeting with me to discuss your interests (usually lasts 20 minutes)

b. think about your ways to narrow down your topic - e.g. suppose you were teaching the class
about your topic or presenting a report to your company. What would you want them to know? What examples would you choose?

c. Your report should focus ONLY on the topic and the information needed to analyze it well. This is NOT a marketing plan covering the complete introduction of a product into a specific country!

d. Start looking for information using sources of info from class. Business and Industry, plus the Exporters' Encyclopedia, can give you great direction in a little amount of time. I often start looking in Business and Industry to search for examples where controversies are taking place.

e. Be practical!  Select country examples and product examples that can be readily found.
