CHOSEN COUNTRY IS GREECE
Comprehensive Country Evaluation Spring 2024
In this comprehensive country evaluation, you are required to:
Identify, describe and evaluate characteristics of your assigned country that make it attractive or
unattractive to a U.S. firm who is considering doing business there.
What characteristics of the country make it a favorable place to do international business? What
characteristics are unfavorable for international business?
Based on these evaluations, Recommend the type of industry that should pursue international
business opportunities in your assigned country and specify the type of international business
(exporting and/or licensing and/or direct investment; see Ch. 13) that match the strengths/weaknesses of your assigned country. Each student will be assigned a country by the instructor.
2. Do not write in first or second person (I think.., You should..). Use third person. Do not
write your paper in the order of the characteristics above. You may use headings but you are not
required to do so.
3. This is NOT a position paper meaning you are not advocating for your country to host FDI from the U.S. It is a
factual investigation of a country (desсrіption) followed by the investigator’s own analysis (evaluation) which
includes recommendations for doing business with a specific country. This is not (solely) a desсrіption of your
assigned country’s economy. (The economic performance of your country is covered in VI.)
4. REMEMBER three or more words taken from any source, including a specific country’s or company’s web pages, or
ideas that belong to someone else are considered plagiarism. You will receive a zero on the paper and
possibly fail the course if you plagiarize. Also, there is a maximum of one quote per page.
5. Follow APA or MLA style (or your favorite style) when writing your paper. Do not use a combination of styles.
6. The length of your paper including the introduction, analysis and conclusion, and excluding the bibliography and the
appendix (if you have one) should be 8 – 9 pages. Points will be deducted if a paper is more than 9 pages or less
than 8. The paper must be type-written and double spaced with standard 1” margins and font size such as Times New
Roman 12. Any additional material should be left for the appendix (such as maps, charts, etc).
7. Additional Characteristics may be relevant to the type of industry or form of international business that you select for
your country. If so, be sure to include these additional characteristics in your analysis and evaluation.
8. A minimum of SIX SOURCES is required. There are five specific sources that you are required to use. Points will
be deducted if you do not use these five required sources. Most students use more than ten sources. These sources
include everything you read about your country. It is not necessary to put our textbook as one of your sources
unless you directly quote from it
