Additional Guidance<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/span><\/span>The balance between market <\/span><\/span>analysis<\/span> <\/span>and the actual planning\/recommendations<\/span>\u2013 ensure that your submissions are balanced with regards to analysis and recommendations. For example, do not use a lot of space <\/span><\/span>summari<\/span>s<\/span>ing<\/span> <\/span>the analysis, at the expense of developing your recommendations and considering potential issues.<\/span><\/div>\n
2. <\/span><\/span>Vagueness<\/span> <\/span>\u2013 planning needs to be very specific; stating that you will entry country X using entry mode Y is not enough. You need to explain the rationale behind your choices, the academic tools\/fram<\/span>e<\/span>works used, the issues that you took into consideration and also demonstrate that you have given some thought to the implementation and implications of your recommendations.<\/span><\/div>\n
3. <\/span><\/span>Academic content<\/span> <\/span>\u2013 you are expected to include academic material into your report rather than relying upon online sources alone. You need to demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical background of international business through your citation of relevant academic content.<\/span><\/div>\n
4. <\/span><\/span>Executive summary \u2013<\/span> <\/span>an executive summary should be written in a way that allows the executive who reads it to know what the problem is and how it is to be solved. Essentially, it is a summary of your problem statement, objectives and how to achieve them (i.e. how to solve the problem).<\/span><\/div>\n
5. <\/span><\/span>Secondary data use <\/span><\/span>\u2013 Analysis should be supported with secondary data (from the literature). You should demonstrate wider reading and acknowledge the sources of your information, both in the main body and in your bibliography. Information pertaining to the potential markets and selected company should be sourced from reliable sources rather than through general web search, you should speak to an Academic Librarian if you require assistance with this.<\/span><\/div>\n
6. <\/span><\/span>Presentation and structure <\/span><\/span>\u2013 to achieve an excellent grade, your presentation needs to be immaculate \u2013 this includes numbering tables, referencing correctly etc. Do not present a lot of data and information in tables as appendices. Data <\/span><\/span>or statistics that refer directly to your discussion in the main <\/span><\/span>body,<\/span> <\/span>should be presented in the main body.<\/span> <\/span>Tables and figures<\/span> <\/span>\u2013 tables and figures need to be numbered and each should have a title that is self-explanatory. Your analytical content must be high, demonstrating critical thinking and the ability to apply relevant marketing concepts<\/span><\/div>\n
7. <\/span><\/span>Word limit <\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span>3,<\/span>0<\/span>00 words. This will exclude the executive summary, reference list, title page, table of contents and the appendices. Please, note that your cover page must have your Full Name and ID Number.<\/span><\/div>\n
