International Business

International Business Module 2 Case

This is your 2-3 sentence introduction. No heading is required. Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key). The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (bold or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings and subheadings, do not change the font or style of font. This introduction should provide a quick overview of the topic discussed.

International food and beverage research: country 1

Select one of these multinational food and beverage companies as the basis for this case.

McDonald’s Around the World

Starbucks Worldwide

Dunkin’ Donuts Global Presence

• Choose two countries not used in Module 1 SLP in which the company does business, research target markets. Consider if there are culturally prescribed dietary restrictions (such as dairy products, red meat, shellfish, or pork).

• Research traditional menu choices in the country (this may be accomplished by an internet search).
• Provide rationale for at least three regional menu items per country.

Information for this section should come from a reputable source like the World Factbook (maintained by the CIA) is a good place to start. Another government site to search for information: U.S. Department of State’s country information that also links to embassies. The use of government-maintained websites adds to the credibility of the information presented. Supplement the government research with articles from the library’s full-text databases. Steer away from reference books like encyclopedias or dictionaries and focus on information from periodicals. Do not copy and paste tables from sources.

International food and beverage research: country 2

Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. The paper should be written in third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate. For more information see Differences Between First and Third Person. NOTE: failure to use the specific, required research with accompanying citations will result in reduced scoring (no higher than 75%) for all components of the grading rubric.

Conclusion

This is your 2-3 sentence conclusion. Remember this is the last thing your reader will hear.
