Instructions

Step 1: Your new employer is considering a partnership with a firm in either Hong Kong, China or Vancouver, Canada. Your supervisor would like to know the international managerial factors (chapters 13-19) that will need to be evaluated in the conducting of a new joint venture between your firm and a new foreign entity partnership (in either Hong Kong or Vancouver). So, you will need to compare and contrast the international managerial factors most relevant to the new venture and decide which of these two locations best suits the enterprise you represent.

You will be assessed not only on the content, but structure, communication, writing excellence, professionalism, referencing and other academic and practical criteria.
