In this BBS11603 group assignment, your team acts as an international business consulting firm advising a Malaysian client on expanding to a foreign market of your choice. Each member writes an individual section on globalisation, and the group builds a five-page visual dashboard comparing Malaysia with the target country on political, legal, economic and cultural factors.
Business Selection
Select ONE (1) business: (a) an existing real business in Malaysia, or (b) an imaginative business with specific products or industry in Malaysia.
Section A: Globalisation Analysis (Individual Component, 20 marks)
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. |

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.
