Each group member prepares a separate subsection covering the concept of globalisation:

Define globalisation with academic references.
Explain a minimum of THREE (3) key drivers of globalisation.
Provide ONE (1) real-world example of a globalisation issue (for example a trade war, supply chain disruption or cultural homogenisation).

Section B: Comparative Country Dashboard (Group Component, 80 marks)

Create a visual dashboard comparing Malaysia (home country) and your chosen target country:

Comparison Area	Required Elements
Political and legal systems	Identify the political system (democratic or totalitarian); describe the legal system (common, civil or theocratic); give specific examples of how these affect business operations.
Economic systems	Compare GNI and GDP (latest data with citations); classify the economy (market, command or mixed); explain implications for foreign investors.
Cultural differences	Apply Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (minimum four); compare values, norms and business etiquette; explain how cultural differences affect business negotiations and management.

Format and Submission

Maximum 5 pages for the dashboard (excluding cover page, references and appendices).

This BBS11603 assignment is marked mostly on the group dashboard, so choose a target country with clear contrasts to Malaysia (for example Vietnam, Germany or the UAE) and current data you can cite. Use World Bank figures for GDP and GNI, classify each economy carefully, and pick at least four Hofstede dimensions that actually change how your chosen business would negotiate or manage staff. In Section A, each member should give a distinct globalisation driver and a recent real example. Our management assignment helpers can guide the analysis, and our report writing help supports dashboard structure and APA 7 citations. You can also browse international business assignment samples.
