Country Presentations

Business persons are being challenged to operate in an increasingly complex, interdependent, and dynamic global environment. To compete and succeed, firms must have knowledge of the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats effecting businesses today.  Understanding the business climate, cultural nuances, and acceptable business practices of countries around the world is a cornerstone of the Global Village program and provides the foundation for Global Village Country Presentations.

As a Global Village participant, you will represent your home country during the Country Presentations by preparing a SWOT Analysis that will provide data for business leadership to ponder when considering your country as a new market opportunity.  Next, two countries will be assigned to work together to explore how business can succeed across their borders. Together you will present your findings to the Global Village in a PowerPoint presentation which will be evaluated by a group of your peers.  If you are the sole representative from your country, then you will develop your SWOT on your own and then work with the other country.  If you are one of two of more representatives from your country, then you will develop your SWOT before working as a team with the other country.  Either way, you are encouraged to begin your research now!
