Semester Research Paper Project – MNC / TNC Research
Each student shall write and submit at least a 10-page paper (meaning you can write more than 10 pages) on a Multinational Company, Transnational Company, or Corporate / Global Giant. (I would prefer if it were written on Nike) Students are free to decide which one they want to research on.
The content of the paper shall be based on:
a) Brief history
b) Number of employees
c) Headquarters and extent of global operation / scope of business (other parts of the world it operates in)
d) Net worth (profit or wealth)
e) Products and Programs, i.e., kind of business, goods, or services offered and an important corollary point (or test of this project) is convincingly stating the specific role these company products and programs play in the globalization process; that is how these products and programs make the globalization process possible; or stating the specific roles that these company products and programs play in making the world a small place or how they make the “global village” concept feasible. Essentially, you will have to explain how this company through their programs and products endeavors to create a shared sense of global identity, pride, and community among people who patronize them.
f) Some of the general criticisms leveled against the company
The presentation shall be done on the scheduled day as indicated on the syllabus, and the papers are due on the same day.
A suggested list of some of these companies and corporations is posted on Folio; students are not by any means restricted to that list.
Organization of the Paper
As a regular scholarly research paper, there must be an introduction, body, and conclusion with ample use of subtitles or sub-sections according to the rough outlines enumerated in this instruction sheet.
Citation of Sources and Works Cited
Students are free to use any style of citation they are familiar with, and the paper must also have a works cited page.
This is not part of the instructions. I want to do good on this paper but I do not want it to sound like it came from a Doctor or make it sound “too smart” if that makes sense. I dont want to get suspected of cheating for it being too good
