Regarding how to pick a topic:
Students should select a term paper topic they are interested in from the following list, or students may explore/develop any topic they are interested in. Students should get approval from the instructor if they choose a topic outside of the list: 1. Entry modes of foreign markets 2. Globalization 3. Legal, Technological, and Political Forces 4. The Role of Culture in international business 5. Ethics and Social Responsibility in International Business 6. International Trade and Investment Theory 7. International Monetary System and the Balance of Payments 8. Foreign Exchange and International Financial Markets 9. Formulation of National Trade Policies 10. International Cooperation among Nations 11. International Strategic Management 12. Strategies for Analyzing and Entering Foreign Markets 13. International Strategic Alliances 14. International Organization Design and Control 15. Leadership and Employee Behavior in International Business 16. International Marketing 17. International Operations Management 18. International Financial Management 19. International Human Resource Management and Labor Relations

What if many teams in the class choose the same topic?
For example, three teams in the class “Entry modes of foreign markets." Since the topic is one of the most interesting topics for international business and economics and their internationalization strategies I understand there would be many teams to work on this topic. YES, your team also can work on the same topic but cases (companies) in the topic shouldn’t be the same companies with other teams, at least two cases out of three or four should be different ones. For example, Team A (4 students): Apple, Samsung,. Nokia, HTC Team B (3 students): Haier, Samsung, Sony Team C (4 students): Toyota, Renault, GM, Tata Team D (3 students): Wal-mart, carrefour, Tesco

What if we choose the same topic that had worked at Assignment 1 and/or Assignment 2?
For example, two students in the same group worked at “Entry modes of foreign markets" for Assignment 1. YES, your team also can work at the same topic for Assignment
