Assessment Task
You are required to submit an assignment in the form of a formalreport of 4,000 words on the following topics, reflecting the focus of your unit:
The World Economic Forums Global Risk Report 2020 noted that we are in ‘an unsettled world' and that economic,demographic and technological forces are shaping a new balance of power resulting in an unsettled geopolitical landscape
There are many challenges to be faced looking at the following
• economic vulnerabilities
• geopolitical tensions
• societal and political strains
• environmental fragilities
• technological instabilities
Your task is to select an organisation of your choice and identify how up to three of the global risks within the report effect the organisation and the implications therefore for the wider business environment and critically analyse the strategies that the organisation is putting in place to counteract these to secure market share and competitive advantage.
Support your analysis with relevant cited examples from company / companies of your choice throughout your report.
The report will demonstrate students' ability to research, analyse, evaluate and make recommendations on the alternative future directions of a particular business issue and practice. The report will include recommendations for one of the organisations referred to in the report. Wherever possible this will be the student's own organisation.
