company (agreed with lecturer) that could expand outside the UAE in terms of globalisation of markets and potential
globalisation of production.
Each student mustchoose ONE local company (each student must work with a different company).
Each student must choose ONE country for potential expansion (either from Assessment 1, or any other country).

debt, corruption levels)

needs, level of existing competition, efficiency and value of existing competitors)
