Writing

Overview of essay test the student is about to write: Please carefully read the directions for this essay final. You must write an “Essay” (a coherent/cohesive paper with complete sentences — including a title, an introduction paragraph, several body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph). I do not want merely paragraph and/or short answer responses to the various rhetorical questions listed at end of this exam (if you do this, your final proctor test grade will suffer). Also, using subheadings between discussion parts are not allowed.The rhetorical list of questions at the bottom of this test is there to help you focus/generate ideas for paragraphs for your Essay/paper exam. This “Final” essay/paper will be evaluated by the depth of your ideas/discussion, the clarity of your explanations, the quality of your writing, and the scope of information you include regarding the criteria listed below:• Any relevant discussion of the various modes of business writing in your “Final” essay response: memos, letters, email, proposals, presentations, surveys, formal reports, internet research, research methods you have used in college and in this course. You can also briefly outline the formats of these various modes of writing.• All weekly Discussion Topic Response issues you and your fellow EN306b students have posted and/or exchanged online about business writing and communications.• Any textbook chapter information you have read/studied to help you write the various assignments.• Any discussion of the trial and error process while writing the various assignments – explaining to your friend how important it is to write well, to use correct format, to know your audience and purpose, and to state your objectives or inquiries clearly.• Use complete sentences and indented paragraph development in a formal, cohesive essay.• No short answer or single paragraph responses to the questions listed at end of this exam.• No books, notes, internet, or any outside resources are to be used – not even a dictionary.Your Assignment: the purpose of this final exam is to test your knowledge of business writing. So, write an essay (a paper) explaining the various kinds of business writing you have done this semester – and how these various kinds of business writing can help your friend with his new business. I don’t want you to discuss “business management” – but business writing. Your paper will be graded on how well you discuss each paper assignment you have written his semester in this class — in context with this test scenario explained above.Your essay final is this – please consider this hypothetical scenario:A friend of yours just retired from the armed forces (or from a corporate structured company in business, education, finance, insurance, government, etc.) and spent most of his or her time working within an environment of strict internal, corporate policy and protocol. This meant that most forms of written communications were set forth in a long military-style (or corporate business-style) tradition and usually not designed for the general public. (An exception, of course, might be that correspondence form letter each sector mentioned above sends out to select personnel, clients, customers, etc.)Yet, this friend now finds himself in the private sector competing with people from innovative mid-sized or small businesses, major universities, and a whole field of business professionals and entrepreneurs who are driving our information-oriented economy and markets today. They are creative, yet conform to standard forms of writing/communication presented in EN306b.Your friend has invested most of his retirement money by setting up a new business, and needs a small business loan from the bank to help in sustain his company the first couple of years. He has also hired several staff people with limited experience (mostly friends and family) to assist him, and is now both financially and personally stressed.

The student must demonstrate what each article (or author) contributes to the subject matter that Henretta, Edwards & Self do not. That means you must read and summarize in your paper the views of Henretta et al say on the subject and then proceed to add the contributions of the two other articles you have chosen for your work. This means your topic must cover the time period surrounding the rise of an industrial America. You cannot write on any period after 1900.

You will need to conduct research on your assigned country and prepare an analysis of any factors that might be relevant in making a decision as to the viability or otherwise of doing business in your assigned country. To do this, you will need to search credible sources for relevant information relating to your assigned country, including but not limited to factors such as:
geographic location, capital cities, climate, population,
GDP, heads of state, brief details of political and economic systems,
main products, businesses,
main trading partners, main business or industry groups,
language, ethnic origins, religion, culture.

Your report should include your explanation of which of the factors you considered in your research and show the analysis you conducted. Your research should target relevant factors from the perspective of an international business person. For instance, if you are looking at the culture in your assigned country, you should consider researching both the culture of the people in the country as well as local business cultural practices and advise on how this might impact any plans for doing business there.

I attached 9 article you can refer and you can also use Wikipedia as a resource (total should be 9 or 10 sources that need to be involved). Hopefully the articles are useful. You can add more academic sources if you need,
