MKIB160--The Development of International Business A 2,500 word report –
(30% of the final mark). Student Support Office by 4 p.m. on Friday, November 18. You can do this individually or in a pair.
The brief for the report is as follows:
You should use Michael Porter’s ‘Diamond’ Model of International Competitiveness to analyse the business structures and competitiveness ofone of the following countries:

1. New Zealand
2. Poland
3. Greece
4. Pakistan
5. Finland
6. South Africa
7. Nigeria
8. Russia
9. Argentina
10. Norway

If you are a student who is not normally resident in the United Kingdom or China, you may also write this report on your own country with the permission of the module tutor (the reason for the exclusion of these two countriesis to avoid possible overlap with the exam paper). You are advised to follow Michael Porter’s procedure in dealing with individual countries in his book, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, namely to identify the key business sectors which have given rise to internationally competitive industries and companies in the country concerned, and explain their growth in terms of the four points ofPorter’s Diamond, not forgetting also to consider the roles played by government and by chance.
It is also expected that you reflect upon the Porter’s approach and offer a critique of the model as it is applied to the country of choice. Are there any deficiencies? What doesn’t it tell you? While you may use the Internet for your research, you should only use credible and reliable sources.These might include government publications; reports of international organisations and inter-governmental bodies like the IMF, World Bank, WTO, and OECD; think-tanks such as the World Economic Forum or international and national research institutes; NGOs such as Transparency International; the serious and specialist business press; and academic articles. You are not permitted to use Wikipedia.
