Describe and discuss the cultures that play a significant role in the country, specifically how these cultures might impact international business.

CAPSTONE PROJECT INFORMATION PAGE

I already selected the country JAPAN as the possible new market in this capstone project.

INSTRUCTIONS
Students will complete a Market Entry Strategy Project. Each team will:
Select a country（JAPAN） as a possible new market for a new video game system, the M-Box by MES- Sim Corporation.
Research and analyze that country.
Recommend whether the market should be developed, or not, by MES-Sim Corporation.
This project has four distinct parts.
It is critical that all each team makes meaningful progress towards completing the Capstone Project on a unit-by-unit basis. Therefore, each team member is expected to conduct themselves in a professional and respectful manner and submit work that meets the standards of the program and University.

PROJECT SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN
The Capstone Project has four distinct parts which are material to the development of your team’s Recommendation. When formatting the Project, it must be remembered that written submissions are professionally presented, including an Executive Summary and Conclusion. Each Part should be done in the order described above as Parts 2, 3, and 4 build on previous work. Draft Versions of each Part will be submitted to the Professor as a “Check-in;” the professor will not mark the Check-Ins but will provide feedback. Teams can therefore improve the Draft before submitting the Final Version of the Report at the end of the course for marking. Each part should be 3-4 pages in length.

Marketing Intelligence Report (MIR)(3-4 pages).
The MIR requires teams to gather current, or the most recently available, data on the market’s people, economy, government, and technological status from online sources.

Business Environment Analysis Report (BEAR)(3-4 pages).
In the BEAR, students will analyze the business environment in the market. Students should remember that this is about developing a market in the selected country, not going there to have fun as a tourist. Therefore, your work should not include data which is not directly relevant to the goal of deciding whether the market should be developed or not. Data that would be relevant could include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the following items:
Political and regulatory stability – Students will need to describe and discuss the political and regulatory system with reference to their stability and receptivity to international business, including foreign investment.
Legal system – Students will need to describe and discuss the kind of legal system that exists there. The following questions are typically important in such a discussion – Is the legal system transparent and independent? Is it fair and objective? Does it protect intellectual property, foreign investments, etc.?
Business customs and practice – Students will need to describe and discuss the business customs and practices that exist there. The following questions are typically important in such a discussion – What role do ethics, corruption, and respect of law play? How are environmental concerns and human rights issues addressed?
Religion and culture – Students will need to describe and discuss the cultures that play a significant role in the country, specifically how these cultures might impact international business.
Economic analysis of key indicators –
Demographics o GNP/GDP
Major sectors and industries o Currency, interest, and inflation rates o International Trade patterns o Labour Force

Report on Opportunities for Market Entry (ROME)(3-4 pages).
The ROME builds upon the BEAR and asks students to assess the import and export prospects for MES- Sim regarding the target market. The critical issue here is whether MES-Sim can effectively conduct international trade activities with the target market as a new base of operations? Therefore, the ROME builds on the BEAR and requires a significant amount of analysis to develop recommendations.

Market Entry Strategy Assignment (MESA) (3-4 pages).
Teams will be required to develop a market entry strategy for the M-Box and MES-Sim in the selected market. This could include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the following items:
Transportation and telecommunications infrastructure
Methods of distribution within the country
Points of sale issues
The MESA builds upon the ROME and BEAR and requires a significant amount of analysis to develop recommendations.

Describe and discuss the cultures that play a significant role in the country, specifically how these cultures might impact international business.

Explain how your dissertation research might effect social change.

Discussion: Your Research and Social Change

The mission of Walden University is to develop not only scholar-practitioners, but also to foster positive social change. This mission has great potential impact for students at any degree level, but, for the doctoral student, it is particularly relevant. The research that you undertake, and the questions that you ask to “fill in the gaps” of what is known and what is not known can have authentic, far-reaching ramifications. Quality Indicator 6 in the Dissertation Prospectus Guide poses this question: “Does this project have [the] potential to [e]ffect positive social change?” The “An Annotated Outline” section within the Dissertation Prospectus Guide—your model for completing your own draft—includes a section titled “Significance” that asks, “How might the potential findings lead to positive social change?” The tenets of positive social change are deeply embedded in Walden University, and your own research will continue to contribute to that tradition.

With consideration to this clear commitment, think about your area of interest and your research questions. How does your research topic contribute to positive social change? Additional consideration of this question at this point might further fuel your dissertation efforts.

Plrase address the following questions

1. Post a brief description of your dissertation topic and an explanation of the purpose of your study.

2.Explain how your dissertation research might effect social change.

3.Be specific and use examples to illustrate your explanation.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.
