Assignment

The managers of Target Corporation have decided that it is time to plan for a Global expansion in a year from now. To help facilitate the transition over the next 12 months, the company leaders have hired YOU, a private consultant, to help them compile and analyze key business information needed for the global expansion event. Your job will be to help the business executives better understand the marketing, management, business ethics, global dimensions, accounting, financial, economic, legal, and strategy aspects of the company.

Your assignment is to describe, discuss, and analyze the key business environment considerations for this new global expansion into Brazil.

You must develop a PowerPoint presentation for this assignment that describes and analyzes the points below:

1. Currently, the company relies mostly upon US based sales, however, the executives would like you to recommend a market place in Brazil in order to gain international sales.

2. What is the cultural environment, the political environment and the legal environment in Brazil.

3. Incorporate at least one chart, graph or table into this presentation. (Don't forget speaker notes explaining your graph/chart slide)

Length: 5-10 slides

· The first slide in the presentation should be the title page.
· The last slide(s) in the presentation should be the list of references you used for the assignment in APA format.
· Do not count title or reference slides towards the 5-10 slide requirement.

Speaker Notes: 80-200 words for each slide need to be in the Speaker Notes section of the PowerPoint slides. These speaker notes should thoroughly describe the details of the slide. Since we do not do formal presentations each week, the speaker notes should cover what you would say if you were presenting to a live audience.

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style. Make sure your presentation follows good PowerPoint design principles (e.g., readable font, uses one template, one inch borders around the slides) and contains transitions, builds, and animation when appropriate.

You must also use at least three additional academic sources/references (these can be journals, articles, papers, books). Websites and other non-academic references may be used if properly cited in APA format, but these supplemental references are not counted toward the requirement of at least three academic references.
