4. Analyze long-term objectives and specific international strategies of the organization.

6.Diagnose corporate culture issues (if any) which could hinder international strategy execution process.

7. Offer recommendations for successful international strategy formulation and implementation in your chosen organization.

Type of Organization

If your organization is part of a larger international organization, you may consider only your country's division. Avoid considering individual departments or sections of an organization as this will constrain you to deal with functional-level strategy only.

If your organization is a government department, proceed with an analysis of that division, providing, it is a budgetary center. Dealing with a subdivision will constrain you to deal with functional-level strategy only.

If your organization is an independent, not-for-profit entity, proceed according to the advice above.

Make sure the conclusion is not just a summary of your recommendations. Emphasize the key recommendations in your conclusion and consider how they might be actioned.
