Introduction

This section covers a brief introduction of the topics you are covering in this report. The Assignment Guide should be used in conjunction with the Assignment Brief as its purpose is to provide guidance as to how best to respond to the requirements of the assignment brief. It also gives an indication of what the marker will be looking for in the piece of work.

All three learning outcomes are addressed within the tasks of the assignment:

LO 1 Put in context globalisation’s impact on business;

LO 2 Understand WTO and de-regulation across markets;

LO 3 Analyse the functions of an organisations’ functions and culture within a globalised or multinational business.

To succeed in the module you must satisfy all learning outcomes, which in turn means addressing each part of the assignment brief – missing something out will impact your grade negatively.
