  • Familiarize you with a specific area of research in global digital industries;

General Guidelines

You will develop a political economy profile for one non-U.S. company in the broadly defined global digital industries. You should pick a company based on your academic and professional interests, as well as in consultation with me. The company cannot be the one that has been studied in our course readings. You will write a political economy profile report on this company drawing upon research from: at least five news reports on the company and public information from the companys official channel such as company website and stock reports if the company is publicly listed. This 4-6-page profile report should include two of the following four aspects: (1) corporate history and structure, (2) political profile, (3) economic profile, and (4) cultural profile.
