Discussion Board 1
Find a topic that is in some way related to employment law. It does not have to be a topic covered in the textbook. Write an initial post discussing your topic due by Thursday night. Then, respond to at least two other posts by Saturday night. Your initial post should be a minimum of 200 words and must include a citation to your source in APA format (citing to your textbook does not count). Your response posts must be “substantial” so must convey more than just “I agree” or “You make a very interesting point.”
For your initial post you can just summarize your findings but remember, the goal is to write something that your classmates find interesting.
A great place to find topics are employment law blogs like these:

Scenario
You are a business analyst working at a small domestic organization that produces high-quality cell phone cases. Your organization has begun to see its sales flatten in the domestic market.

You will then create a market profile and outline market considerations for your chosen international market. Use the Business Brief Template in the What to Submit section to complete this project.

Identify each of the following
drivers of globalization in the automobile industry and provide specific examples of:
 Market Drivers
 Cost Drivers
 Government Drivers
 Competitive Drivers
that exist specifically in your industry (not in general). (For example, the Food and
Drug Administration regulations exit in the food (fast food) industry and thus
represent Government Drivers of globalization that hamper globalization of that
industry, but they do not apply the automobile industry.)
