Critical Thinking Assignment

Implementing a Global Business Technology Plan

You are a management consultant who has been commissioned by an organization to produce a report on the conditions necessary to successfully implement a global business strategy plan. The organization has recently identified extensive changes in technology and business dynamics in the markets it serves (you select a country for your scenario), and the organization’s plan is to enter a “new” country (you must select a country different from the one in which you reside).

The senior management team wants you to assess its current strategy and to produce a realistic strategy and development plan for entering the new market.

The strategy will be based on your review of the organization’s industry, product, or service, and it must be supported by your findings from research of relevant theories and models.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

·         Be 5-7 pages in length, which does not include the title page or required reference page, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.

·         Use APA style guidelines.

·         Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.

·         It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting it to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment into the Originality Check tool, review the Turnitin Originality Check – Student Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Critical Thinking

Supply Chain Management

Al Baik must ship replacement parts for their ovens, and the supply chain manager must choose between two shipping alternatives: two-day freight, and five-day freight. Using five-day freight saves 750 Riyal (SAR), but the primary consideration is holding cost, which is 38 Riyal per unit per year. Al Baik must ship 2000 units. In a 3-4-page paper, which alternative would you recommend to the supply chain manager and why?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

·         Be sure to use at least two current, scholarly references beyond any required course readings. Current sources are those published within the most recent five-year period, and scholarly sources are those from peer-reviewed journals.

·         Make certain for each listed reference that you have at least one supporting citation in the body of your content. Your reference page is always the last page of the submission where all individual references get listed.

·         It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the TurnItIn Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment into the Originality Check tool, review the TurnItIn Originality Check – Student Guide for step-by-step instructions.
