Country to rearch: Japan

Reseach Report Instructions:

You are an International Manager that has just been told you will be setting up a business in the Country you selected last week.  You need to conduct a detailed Country Research Report which is a Country Analysis for the purposes of Market Entry.

Though the business initiative hasnt been discussed yet, you need to analyze the political, economic, legal, technological and cultural environment (which includes ethics, social responsibility and sustainability in addition to other cultural aspects) of the country you selected. 

In your analysis outline the challenges and opportunities of conducting business in that country and provide relevant guidelines and recommendations for entering the market of the country you selected.

Keep in mind you will be examining the country from every possible perspective (i.e. consumer, business, resident, etc.). Your report should be at least a 4 pages.  Make sure you focus on details to support your position and provide supporting evidence using in-text references to show your sources and make sure you provide the corresponding references at the end of your paper.  Your paper needs to be in APA format. And I will say it again, you need to provide detailed explanations.

Use charts and graphs wherever you feel they are necessary, but add the charts and/or graphs to the appendix section and reference them by the name or numbers when you decide to use them in your analysis.  The Appendix section is after the reference section per APA format.  Dont add the physical chart and/or graph to the body of your paper as it will not be counted towards the content page length requirements of the assignment. 

Again, all your sources of information must be clearly referenced. The assignments must be based on research

All papers should be in Microsoft Word and should be correctly formatted per APA rules.  Make sure you use headings to distinguish between the sections of your paper you are discussing.  Again, your paper must follow APA format.
