Challenges in the Global Business Environment
According to the textbook, ongoing challenges in the
global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business
practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition
among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as Apple’s Chief
Compliance Officer and must prepare a video presentation for Apple’s suppliers
regarding Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting. To
prepare for your presentation, review Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct, located
at https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/.
Next, use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder
to record a maximum of a five to seven (5-7) minute dynamic video on Apple’s
Code of Conduct. Alternatively, you may submit a four to six (4-6) page paper
instead of the video submission.
In addition to the recorded video, you must also
create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software)
summarizing the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct
that you communicated in your video presentation to email to the suppliers
after the meeting for future reference.
You must submit both parts of the assignment to
receive full credit.
Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you
will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in
order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file
sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large
video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the
Dropbox app.
Once you are ready to upload your video to
Blackboard, view the Kaltura video tutorial found in your online course shell
(Week 9).
Please use the following naming convention in the
popup window for your video once it is finished uploading:
