=Project 2 - International Business Environmental Factors=

You've been studying about different factors that affect international trade. Now it's time to apply your knowledge. Your team has selected a country. You will now research the environmental factors that make up the international business operating environment for that country. Remember that the four enviromental factors are geography, cultural/social, economic conditions, and political/legal. Refer to 16-18 in your student text for detailed information on these factors. This information should help guide your research.

Once your team has completed your research, you will develop an interactive poster, called a Glog, that illustrates your research. Your Glog should include all the relevent research information for each of the four environmental factors, as well as a minimum of 6 graphics, and at least one video. Your project will be graded utilizing the rubric listed below.
