You are encouraged to select a product or service that is unique and innovative.Imagine that you are with the international sales department of the company that manufactures and sells the item (or service) that you are proposing to make or introduce in the country you have selected.The first step is to learn as much as possible about the country where you plan to market the product.

Your report is to be submitted to the chief operating officer of the company, whose name you can either make up or find in a corporate directory. The report should include your conclusions (how the product or service will do in this new environment) and your recommendations for marketing (steps the company should take immediately and those it should develop later). You are highly encouraged to include financials, action plan, and a social media strategy.General Format –The paper must be typedUse headings within the report when appropriate (please review Pages 430-445 for Parts of a Formal Report).
