Because communication is a vital skill in promoting diversity awareness, this written project is expected to be thoughtful, well-organized, and well-written. Students may wish to consult with the Effective Writing Center and Information and Library Services for guidance.

First of all ,I would like to say that the topic should be discussed and I would appreciate if the writer will try to think the possible topic , so tomorrow afternoon we can discuss it together.
To provide you with the idea of which way I want to see the dissertation to be done , I would like to say that it should look like I took some company as an example, to analyze how the management of the company solved the problem.

Secondly, I would like to require the work be done by conducting both PRIMARY ( interview with the management and the customers) and SECONDARY ( literature review) research.

I have an option to take the relative to me Russian company and interview the manager of this company . But if you suggest the case of a UK company that also meets my requirements.

The rest of the Instructions will be attached in handbook and lectures

Module 3 – SLP
MARKETING AND STRATEGY
In the previous two modules you looked at the cultural and financial situation of your reference country. Now will be looking at the legal and political environment of your country and how these factors impact doing business.
As part of your research, keep in mind that several organizations publish various rankings and indices of political and legal factors in the major countries in the world. One example of rankings is the World Banks Worldwide Governance Indicators page (http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.aspx#home). This webpage includes rankings on factors relating the legal and political system such as rule of law, regulatory quality, and political stability. Rankings are given from 0 to 100 on each of these aspects.
The World Bank also does some rankings of the ease of doing business in countries across the world. Their doingbusiness.org has detailed reports on most countries on different aspects of doing business. While they look at many different factors, some of these relate to the legal system such as ease of enforcing contracts or getting a business license. It is worth looking up your country on this webpage to get an idea of how friendly your countrys legal system is to doing business. In addition to the Doing Business report, Transparency International does an annual report on corruption around the world and their rankings can be found at transparency.org.
But dont just look at quantitative rankings of your country, do additional research to get an overall picture of the legal and political system beyond just a numerical score. Once you are finished doing your research on this country of your choice, write a two to three page paper covering the following issues:
1.The type of government and level of political stability in your country, and whether or not the political system is conducive to doing business
2.The legal/regulatory system in this country and whether or not it is conducive to doing business
3.The level of corruption in your country, and the impact of corruption on doing business in this country
