With the globalization of the major economic functions—consumption, production, and investment—it is more crucial than ever that business leaders understand the benefits associated with a global economy. These benefits extend to organizations, emerging markets, and society.
Over the next 2 weeks, you will continue your exploration of international finance by evaluating the benefits relating to free trade among global economic markets. You will evaluate the applicability of the international finance research literature to business practices and social change initiatives and will begin a systematic way of capturing invaluable literature through the construction of an annotated bibliography. Focus on the main messages presented in the readings, as well as on the research designs and on any apparent gaps in the literature that may merit further investigation.
Post an annotated bibliography of at least five additional resources .The annotated bibliography should be
- Incorporation and analysis of the Learning Resources from this 2-week unit, including identification of any apparent gaps in the literature
- An original research topic related to the week’s literature (the proposed research topic can be related to the general topic for the week or to gaps in the literature for the week, or it can be related to a specific reading for the week)
- Background information on the research topic, including identification of principal schools of thought, tendencies in the academic literature, or commonalities that define the academic scholarship regarding your topic
- Evaluation of the main concepts with a focus on their application to business/management practice and their impact on positive social change.
