Using Wall Street Journal and any other current professional/reputable publication, research a company which does business locally but expanded internationally.
Throughout this course, you will be using the company you choose for further assignments. Therefore, choose your company carefully and feel free to consult with me on your choice. (Amazon is a good choice)
