- Vernon's Product Life Cycle Theory
- Krugman's First Mover Advantage Theory; and
- Dunning's Ownership-Location-Internalisation (OLI) eclectic theory.

4. Drawing on relevant models and theories, critically assess the extent to which the growing wealth and consumption power of the BRICs and the MINTs will lead to a shift in power to their advantage within the global institutions associated with world trade.

35 – 39% Relevance to the requirements of the assessment may be very intermittent, and may be reduced to its vaguest and least challenging terms A limited understanding of a narrow range of material Largely descriptive or narrative, with little evidence of analysis A basic argument is evident, but mainly supported by assertion and there may be a lack of clarity and coherence Some evidence of a view starting to be formed but mainly derivative. Numerous deficiencies in expression and presentation; the writer may achieve clarity (if at all) only by using a simplistic or repetitious style Barely adequate use of literature. Over reliance on material provided by the tutor.
