Final project

 

For college writing, originality is a critical component. When you carry out a piece of academic work you will be expected to research your subject thoroughly. It will be necessary for you to show an understanding of the contributions of other researchers and practitioners to your field of study. Keep in mind that plagiarism isnt simply inadequate use of citations, it represents inadequate thinking. The purpose of this project is to generate insights and thoughts that builds on past findings, as well as shed new light on the problems being investigated. It means that you need to have your own perspective and use your own words instead of copying and pasting sentences and paragraphs from various websites. 

Once you submit your paper using the Turnitin link below, you will be able to view the similarity report. For this particular project, since there are lots of facts that need to be cited, a returned percentage of below 25% would probably indicate that plagiarism has not occurred.

If a student has copied someone elses work, be it another students paper or taken material directly from some other source and made it appear to be their own; this is plagiarism. 

A submission with a similarity score above 40% and a Turnitin report indicating evidence of plagiarism will result in a 0 grade for the project and potentially an F grade for the course.

This is your end-of-semester project. It can be done individually or as a team (up to three students per team).

As organizations search for new and better ways to compete, global business strategies will continue to receive increasing attention. Areas in which globalization can move from concept to practice include global sourcing and marketing, an advanced approach to sourcing and supply management that involves integrating and coordinating common materials, processes, designs, technologies and suppliers across worldwide buying, design and operating locations. Since most organizations do not have well-developed global sourcing and marketing strategies in place, improvement opportunities in this area are attractive and as yet largely unrealized.

In this project, you may work individually or you may work with up to two other members from the class. If working as a team, please list all names on the first page of the project and have only one member submit the work. 

The Executive Chairman of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, sparked the imaginations of theme park fans around the world in March 2018 when he confirmed that the . Picking the site for a new theme park demands sharp research and attention to global and local markets and political trends, and a poor choice could cost the company billions of dollars, not to mention the opportunity cost of developing a park in a better location elsewhere.

  1. Research Disney’s international operations. How many Disney Parks are there in the world? Which ones are more successful? Which ones are not as successful? Why some are not as successful as others?
  2. Where should the next Disney Park be? Pick a location (non-U.S.) and explain your reasons.
  3. Write a summary of the chosen location’s history, geographic location, and population growth trend. Analyze important characteristics of local culture and customs.
  4. How should Disney design and operate its new Park in the location you choose? 

Your writing should be clear, concise, and originalPlease use proper citations when using other people’s work, as plagiarism is not tolerated at Cerritos College. Submit your final project as a Word/PDF document, 500 words minimum.
