What BUSI 365 covers
Groups research the assigned questions each module/week and post a group thread of at least 150 words by Friday, then replies of at least 100 words by Monday, drawing on globalEDGE learning modules on industry drivers, logistics, marketing, sourcing and organizational structure, and on the industry profiles assigned in Modules/Weeks 6 to 8.
The Global Industry Project, due Friday of Module/Week 8 for 200 points, investigates one global industry's structure, characteristics and issues in 10 pages with 10 references and closes with how a Christian manager working in the global arena can be in the world but not of it.
An introduction to the organizational and operational dynamics of the various global industries and their rapidly growing importance to the world's national economics and governments. Various aspects of the industries will be explored.

Where BUSI 365 papers lose points
BUSI 365 posts lose points when group threads answer the questions with general statements instead of evidence about real industries, when replies fall under 100 words, and when the Global Industry Project describes an industry without analyzing its structure and issues or treats the closing Christian perspective as an afterthought.
Using a BUSI 365 sample well
The samples draw on research on semiglobalization and regional strategy, time as a trade barrier and containerization, marketing standardization and brand globalness, global value chain governance, multinational network structures and subsidiary roles, and the automotive, pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries, with Michigan State University's globalEDGE modules.
