Suggestion on how to approach the research paper

If you choose a topic on Globalization, for example, you need to do research on this topic and write a report which will analyse how Globalization is affecting the countries and/or companies in their pursuit of market expansion or market share or profitability. You need to elaborate on both sides of the arguments as which countries/industries are winning and which countries/industries are losing or have not enjoyed the benefits of Globalization.

To do this, you will need to research at least 5 to 10 sources /articles for your paper. Simply cut and paste from Google is not acceptable. Academic research is the key to get good marks with proper references (APA style or Harvard Business).

Note:

• More marks for research – choosing a good article on something specific
• At least 4 to 6 articles on your topic besides facts and figures
• More marks for application and your comments on the topic in introduction and conclusion
