From ParkMyCloud

International, Leadership, Management

Entry Modes, Globalization, Strategic Management

ParkMyClouds (PMC) focus over the next few years is growth. While opportunity in the United States market may be PMCs focus for the next 510 years, investing to meet needs abroad could provide stability for the future by minimizing sole reliance on the US market. This means investments in partnerships, technology, and internal resources.

How should PMC approach international markets to support growth?

Be sure to answer the following questions in your report:

  1. Should      PMC go narrow or broad when it comes to international expansion? Explain      your stance.
  2. In      what areas of the business will PMC need to make investments? Why?
  3. How      should these investments be prioritized?
  4. What      plans does PMC already have for investment?
  5. How      should PMC plan to enter specific countries or regions?
  6. Why      should PMC focus on the areas you suggest now? Explain.

Your paper should be 12 pages long (not including Title and reference pages) and conform to APA format.

Include at least 8 scholarly references in addition to the course textbook and required or recommended reading.

Articles and Summaries that can be used:

Robert Azuayi. (2016). Internationalization strategies for global companies: A case study of Arla Foods, Denmark. International journal of accounting and marketing. 

Brian Abner. (2015). 4 considerations before taking your business international

WRITING ASSIGNMENT #4: The How Americas Food Giants Swallowed The Family Farms Article And How It Connects With Other Of Our Themes

IAH 206 WHFS 

WRITING ASSIGNMENT #4: The How Americas Food Giants Swallowed the Family Farms article and how it connects with other of our themes

Insert in the drop box for Writing Assignment #4 on D2L.

As noted on the syllabus: 300-400 words

Instructions: 

The story in How Americas Food Giants Swallowed the Family Farms has connections to various of our readings, which is not surprising in that various of the claims, thesis, ideas that we are exploring in this course have interconnections.  Sometimes these are causal connections, and sometime they are conceptual connections; in any case, it is useful to think about them together.

Write an essay in which you explain how the story laid out in the Guardian article 

can be analyzed in terms of, or otherwise connected to, at least two of the following:

(1) the analysis given by Holt-Gimenez and Patel in Food Rebellions

(2) the analysis of sustainability discussed by Paul Thompson

(3) the ideas of locality discussed in Thompson and DeLind

(4) ideas about food sovereignty as discussed in the Wittman, et al. article

Note that you get to choose the theme or theses to be discussed here, but you should be sure to choose these in a way that shows an understanding of whats important about all this.

You get to choose which other themes [(1)-(4)] to make use of in your analysis (and hence what other readings to make use of), but dont assume that it will work out equally well with any two of them. Give some thought first to which ones you think provide interesting insight or really connect to what you want to say.

It is not required that you do an objection and reply. The reason for this is that I want you to focus on the task of identifying connections and fleshing them out so that they are clear and significant. (Its possible that youll find that an objection-reply strategy will in fact help you do this, but again, it is not required.)

As before: Citations are required; quotations are not. Quotations, if you have them, should not be long, and they dont count toward the word count. (See general description of the writing assignments on the syllabus.) I wouldnt expect you to use any sources outside of the class readings. Of course you do have to cite the Guardian article and the readings you use to follow the above instructions. The style for doing the citations? You can just cite the page number in the following way: (Thompson, p. X).
