Overview
In this Information Memorandum you will deepen your skill of analysis of global challenges, adding a justification for why you attach particular importance to the selected issues. Together with the second half of the "Global Issues" text assigned for Module 3, you will then be in the best position to propose your Capstone topic for approval in the Action Memo assigned in Module 3.
- Review the sample Information MemoranduActions for structure and organization of topics.
- Write an Information Memorandum (maximum 2 pages), elaborating on three potential Capstone topics taken from the IAL Program or from the Global Issues 2021 Textbook (Chapters 1-8). Global Issues is your global problems bible.
- Note: research gathered for topic exploration and justification will inform for your final presentation. Be sure to track data, resources and any supporting materials or arguments to use in future assignments.
- Address the following:
- Justification/reason for each topic choice in relation to:
1. Their global importance in your view
2. Your leadership and international career objectives in relation to your topic selections

- I will just repeat my guidance on the first 8 chapters of this excellent book. Having covered all the readings will give you the most comprehensive list to choose from in selecting your final capstone topic, as well as inspire your reasoning for explaining your chosen topic.
- Global Issues is your global problems bible. It offers a comprehensive and unbiased look at some critical and pressing problems of the global community. Some of the issues are a little dated, but still relevant for this course and helping to identify and crystalize your capstone plan.
- There is no magic to reading the first 8 chapters versus the second 8 or covering all 16 all at once. I simply want to be mindful of your time commitment and offer the book in two chunks.
