Locate and review three websites that inform you about Crafting Strategies for international markets, or multi-business companies, or diversified companies

Instructions: Locate three websites in order to complete the goal stated above—international strategic planning. You may also
benefit from conducting your own Internet search of international marketing strategies. Write a 600-750 word paper as a
memorandum of discovery. No particular format will be observed for this paper, but organize your writing into three sections that
review each of the three websites, and then write a fourth concluding section that summarizes what you gleaned from this
investigation. The summary conclusion should put together the benefit of the whole experience. [Note: Keep in mind that this
assignment is not aimed at reviewing articles in websites, but rather, the company websites themselves, and the international
strategies that they describe.]

How To Review Websites For This Assignment:

• Summarize the overriding purpose/thesis of each website. What is the essential message of the site? Provide a link (or address)
for each website reviewed.

• Discuss the material in the website in light of your understanding and outside research related to the material presented on the site.
Do you agree or disagree with what the website presents?

• What do you, the student, benefit from having viewed/examined this website?

• After discussing each of the three websites, write a summary that combines what you learned from the experience.

identify and write an essay on a policy alternative to a social problem

As an astute social worker and professional policy advocate, once you have selected and identified a
social problem, you begin the process of creating and implementing a policy that addresses that social
problem. One of the first things you do in the implementation process is an analysis of the social policy you
identified. There is always the possibility that the policy created and implemented to address the social
problem you identified is not viable for a variety of reasons. In this case, you must explore a policy
alternative.
In Part 4 of your ongoing Social Change Project assignment, you identify a policy alternative to the social
problem you identified.
Complete Part 4 of your Social Change Project.
Address the following items within the paper:
What is the policy alternative?
What, if any, change(s) in the policy alternative are necessary and where will they need to occur (local,
state, national, and international)?
Is this policy alternative congruent with social work values? Explain.
What is the feasibility of the alternative policy (political, economic, and administrative)?
Does the policy alternative meet the policy goals (e.g., social equality, redistribution of resources, social
work values, and ethics)?
What are the forces that are for/against the policy?
What policy advocacy skills can be used to support the policy alternative?
How does the current policy affect clinical social work practice with clients?
What changes could be made in the policy to support the needs of clients seeking clinical services?
