Instructions for
assessment
A.   Formative assessment
The formative assessment for this module takes the
form of a group-based poster. You will be asked to conduct an analysis of a
global brand with respect to its brand inventory, which includes an analysis of
the brand’s global branding strategy, brand positioning, and brand elements. In
this analysis you need to consider the country where the brand was originally
developed plus one additional country where the brand is present.
The brand will be provided to you by the
Module Convener and all students will analyse the same brand. You will need to
include your analysis in an A3 poster of maximum 500 words and submit it
via Turnitin.
Through your formative assessment, you will
have a unique opportunity to test your understanding of concepts that are part
of your summative assessment.
Note however that we will not provide any
written or marks indicative feedback on drafts for summative assessment at any
time. Should you perceive any formative feedback such way, then please note
that it is not binding for your marking. Markers can also always change, and
you have no entitlement to be marked by the Module Convener or tutors.
B.   Summative assessment
The
summative assessment for this module consists in an individual business report,
a brand audit, on a self-selected brand. You will have to choose a well-known
global brand for your assessment. This brand can be of any type (luxury, mass
market, online, etc.) and from any product category (food and beverage,
consumer electronics, fashion, jewellery, etc.), however you will not be
allowed to use the same brand as the one provided for the formative assessment.
In the brand audit, you are expected to conduct a comprehensive examination of
your brand and, based on this analysis, elaborate global managerial
recommendations on how to develop your brand in the long-term. Your analysis
will be based entirely on information from public secondary sources and/or
primary data (if necessary), company websites, as well as your own personal or
professional experiences and insights.
The
word limit for this assessment is 3,500 words including tables and
figures but excluding references. 

Ive done the assigment already and my teacher gave me feedback to fix some things; 
No sections to be created for the assignment. Just answer all questions in one single essay with no subtitles. Use topic sentences and concluding sentences for each paragraph.
Each paragraph should be between 180 to 220 words.
Better to use in-text citation in every four sentences.
Use different types of in-text citations (direct; indirect; author-oriented; info-oriented)
You may use or refer to the same article (writer) many times. That’s fine, but use different types of the in-text citation as mentioned above.
Write references in a separate page and make sure you order them alphabetically.
No extra introduction required for the assignment. The first part of the first question replaces the Introduction, and the final question functions as a conclusion. This means no extra introduction or conclusion required.
You work lacks the use of in-text citations which are one of the most important parts of any academic writing.
For all the questions, you need to refer to the scenario, comment, and support with evidence from previous research (here: you have to use in-text citations). For all the questions, even the last one.

Important; I only need 700-800 words not 1100 as this can only last about 5 MINUITES when spoken aloud. I had put 4 slides in the order cause I want at least 4 but NOT 1100 words as I couldnt adjust word count, thank you. Also if you could use powerpoint it would be prefferred.
Select ONE company from a country that you are culturally unrelated to (In this case outside of the U.S.A.). Imagine that you
are providing consultation to that company as an international business expert, and
recommend a new market for the company. Make sure to select a market that the company is
not currently involved in. Your presentation should briefly discuss about the company
(background, business operations, international components), and use research and
concepts/theory (1 or more) covered in class to justify your ideas, with also inccluding images or graphics.  Some therioes or concepts covered in class are but not limited to risk management, comparative/competitive advantage, FDI or non FDI business, individualism vs collectivism, and extraterriterorality in business. (note you only need to incorporate one of those in the slides along with your main idea, I just gave some examples)

Using the data above in the images and word document, answer the following:
1. Average PS scores for the whole sample,
males, females, non­ minorities, and minorities.
2. The correlation between PS scores and
performance ratings, and its statistical significance (r = .37 or higher is
needed for significance at p < .05). 3. Adverse impact (selection rate) statistics for males and females, and non-minorities and minorities. Use a PS score of 7 or higher as a hypothetical passing score (the score that might be used to determine who will or will not be promoted). 4. Average performance rating scores for the whole sample, males, females, non­ minorities, and minorities. For each group, evaluate whether the performance rating scores are different for subgroups of employees. Also evaluate whether the magnitude of these differences is sizable enough to warrant concern for Yellow Blaze. Using the data, results, and description of the study, answer the following questions: 1. Is the PS score a valid predictor of performance as a store manager? Do you see any potential reasons why either the customer ser vice orientation measure or knowledge of store operations measure might be problematic? In answering, consider issues related to reliability and validity. 2. With a cut score of 7 on the PS, would its use lead to adverse impact against women? Against minorities? If there is adverse impact, does the validity evidence justify use of the PS anyway? 3. What limitations do you see in the current study design? Do you think that the conclusions you would reach based on this sample of individuals who were promoted to store man ag er would generalize to the population of all salespeople who are being evaluated for promotion potential? Do you think that the method of rating performance is sufficient as a criterion, and if so, why? If not, what additional steps would you take to ensure that performance is measured adequately? 4. Would you recommend that Yellow Blaze use the PS score in making future promotion decisions? Why or why not? If you said yes, can you think of anything the company could do to make these measures even better than they are already? If you said no, can you think of any ways that this system might be improved? 5. One employee has raised questions regarding whether the performance ratings themselves are biased. This employee has not made a formal legal complaint against Yellow Blaze yet, but the organization wants to evaluate whether there is reason for concern. Based on the calculations you made regarding the differences for performance evaluation ratings for women relative to men, and for minorities relative to non­ minorities, do you believe that there is reason for the organization to be concerned regarding this issue? In other words, do the data suggest that there is, in fact, a substantial difference in performance evaluation ratings for different groups of employees? How should the organization respond to this individual employee’s concerns?

You and Shawn met yesterday with the members of a
cross-cultural leadership team from AGC’s subsidiaries to discuss a change in
AGC’s human capital management goals. The team concluded that if AGC does not
change, it may not survive in today’s global environment. To fully diagnose the
problems at AGC, they recommended that data be gathered and analyzed. The team
asked you to prepare a presentation describing how you will diagnose the
problems at AGC.
Review the AGC scenario for this course and  addresses the following:
Describe why making a diagnosis is a critical part of a change
management plan.
Identify at least 3 current human capital management problems at
AGC.
For each problem that you have identified, describe a data
collection method (such as interviews, focus groups, or performance
appraisals) that you could use to gather data about the problem and from
which employee groups you will gather the data.
For each problem that you have identified, describe how you will
draw conclusions from the data that you have gathered.
Summarize your conclusions regarding the problems at AGC, and
identify the root cause of each problem.
