PART V. Business Environmental Analysis Report (BEAR)
Part IV requires you to develop a BEAR for the country in which M-Box will be introduced. Your task is to rate a set of variables related to demographics, geography, economics, physical infrastructure, and communications infrastructure which may affect the marketing of M-Box in that country, and to justify each rating. You must provide your sources for your responses.
Important Notes and Tips:
-A "LibGuide" for this class has been created to assist you with your research and to connect you to the HACC library.
-Submissions will be collected by the instructor using Google Forms (similar to a web-site based survey). A link to the form will be posted in the appropriate DropBox for each assignment. Be aware that responses are date/time stamped based on submission. You may edit/change the form prior to submission during an active session, but once you submit the form, your responses may not be changed.
-While I normally require that students cite work and include a reference list using APA 6th edition style, I do not require this level of formality for this particular part of the assignment. You may simply include the web address (URL) for your sources or the title, author, and date for any articles or books that you use. Please double check that all URLs submitted are accurate/functioning
You will be graded on the following areas:
-Analysis/Content
-Thoroughness/Completeness
-Professionalism/Quality of Writing (spelling counts!)
-Inclusion of Sources/Accuracy of Source Information.
