Report: Assessment 1

INTERNATIONALISATION STRATEGY

You are required to conduct an analysis of the most recent internationalisation strategy of a Multinational enterprise (MNE) into a host market of your choice based on Dunning’s eclectic framework from the list provided below.

It is important that you relate relevant theoretical frameworks associated with each strand of Dunning’s framework to the empirical information (data) you have gathered in order to analyse, and not merely describe the international strategy of your chosen MNE. You should consider the ethical dimensions of the MNE’s international strategy in relation to the chosen host market and make any recommendations for changes that you consider to be appropriate.

This analytical report should be maximum 3,000 words in length (executive summary, appendices, and reference list are excluded), should demonstrate your ability to identify and employ relevant academic concepts, theories and models, and should be fully referenced using the Harvard referencing system.

In the event of a late submission, university regulations will apply.

Volkswagen

Tesco

IKEA

Walmart

Zara

ALDI

Marks and Spencer

Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev)

Starbucks
