1. Present a brief overview of the company (real or fictional)
2. Provide a brief description of the product to include its features, benefits, and limitations
3. Conduct an environmental analysis of the country desired for expansion

Part Three: 02 Written Assignment – Business Disputes and Political Risks

A contract or agreement does not have to be between two companies. Another example of a dispute can be that of companies producing similar products and determining who has the rights to it. In determining a resolution, political risks must be considered. Conducting an assessment of the risk in order to determine the impact (macro- or micro-political) is important.

With this in mind, create a 1-2 page response to the following:

1. Research an international dispute
2. Describe the dispute and political risk
3. Analyze the situation
4. Conclude a possible way to avoid the dispute or risk OR a possible resolution

Your final assignment should be proofread for correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
