The following are the professor’s instructions for the assignment. Please read them thoroughly and carefully.
“You may consult books, notes, or other materials. But you may NOT consult other persons. The exam should be your own work alone. Citations of works consulted are NOT necessary. I will check, however, all exams through SafeAssign for the cutting and pasting of text not your own as part of your answer. Cutting and pasting text from other sources will result in zero points for that question.
QUESTIONS:
1. (50 points) Read the attached article from The Economist, “The world economy: an open and shut case.” After studying globalization for the past semester, do you agree with the author’s conclusion that “much of the criticism of openness is misguided, underplaying its benefits and blaming it for problems that have other causes. Rolling it back would leave everyone worse off”? Do we need more opening to foreign trade and investment, immigration, foreign cultures, and to working with other governments to address global issues? Or less? Take a clear position in for more or for less globalization, and explain why. For a better answer, you may want to explain first how should we evaluate globalization; in other words, how can we tell whether it is a good or bad thing. Then, you can discuss the information that you have to help you decide for good or for bad. And lastly, provide your overall conclusion. Answer in no less than 500 words.
2. (30 points) We learnt in Parts III and IV of the course about the Circular Economy and “Product as a Service” as new ways of doing business or “business models” that could have a major impact on making global industries and companies more sustainable. Describe how the “circular economy” could be implemented (or is already being implemented) the industry that you researched for your team project. Then, discuss the specific ways in which the circular economy could help the industry become more sustainable. Answer in no less than 300 words.
3. (20 points) Of the industry projects done by OTHER teams (all presentations and reports are available on Blackboard under Course Content/Final Project), pick the ONE that you felt helped you learn the most about globalization. Describe what you learnt about the globalization of business from the project, and how can it help you in a business career. Answer in no less than 200 words.”
Hello, my name is John Zeaiter, and this assignment is the final for my Globalization class. I have attached “The Economist on Globalization,” an article that you will need to fully read and write about for Question #1 on the exam. You will also need to write 500 words for this question.
Next, I have attached the “Advertising final presentation” I did in this class, which you will need for question #2. You will need to write about a circular economy and about the industry my team did for the team project, which will be the ADVERTISING industry. This question will be written in 300 words.
Last, I have attached another team’s project to this assignment. This will have a different industry, which you will need to use for question #3. This question must be done in 200 words. Which creates the 1000-word total for this exam.
Please remember not to use sources or any complicated grammar. Please write as if a sophomore in university wrote this. Please use simple, clear, and concise language that makes sense when creating each question. Thank you and good luck, if you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
