106106 unread replies.106106 replies.
Introduction
Discussions are designed to help you critically analyze an international business problem, at times using the theories and frameworks described in your textbook.
Read the following scenario and respond: A manager from a developing country is overseeing a multinational’s operations in a country where drug trafficking and lawlessness are rife. One day, a representative of a local “big man” approaches the manager and asks for a “donation” to help the big man provide housing for the poor. The representative tells the manager that in return for the donation, the big man will make sure that the manager has a productive stay in his country. No threats are made, but the manager is well aware that the big man heads a criminal organization that is engaged in drug trafficking. He also knows that the big man does indeed help the poor in the rundown meighborhood of the city where he was born. What would you do if you were the manager?
Directions
You are advised to post at least two responses to each discussion question, one of which should be a reply to someone else’s post. Each response should be no less than 150 words and no more than 300 words. If you post only one response, you can earn a maximum score of 21/35 (60%) only regardless of the quality of that post.
Discussions need to be professional. Please make proper use of capitalization to begin sentences; also make sure that there are no misspellings, incomplete sentences, or other violations of grammatical rules.
The basic criterion for a discussion post to be considered effective is that your message must be original and intelligible. You must communicate concisely and effectively. In addition, you must meet the weekly requirements for full credit on discussion assignments.
You should keep each response within a word limit of 300 words.
