ï€ ï€ ïµ PART 1:
SUBJECT: Pick any business, in the sense of, one business organization (such as Samsung), or a business as done by several organizations (such as, Samsung and Apple, or, wearable computing, or, a soccer league, or professional soccer in general, or a cosmetics company, or, the cosmetics business). You can pick a group involved with some products (say, bicycle designers, makers or shops; or cosmetics), or a nonprofit organization (such as an environmental protection fund or a church organization), which is close enough, as it touches on business. So I mean “business” in the broadest sense: it has some form of organization, uses money, hires people, provides some product or service or entertainment, etc. About your chosen business, pick at least 2 articles (online or printed, in magazines, etc.) FROM THE LAST 2 MONTHS that show some current aspects or players in that business/activity. Then, in your own words (as much as you can), (1) summarize what these articles tell us about the current state of that business/these players. Then, do a bit more research, and briefly explain to me a wider picture: (2) who are major players in this business? (3) What kinds of organizations are they commonly in? For example, are they corporations? Large ones? Smaller ones? (4) What are some main laws/regulations they operate under? and (5) what are major changes happening to this business, for example, are they growing and hiring more people now? Are there new technologies affect in their business, such as new ways to shop and choose their products? Size: a few pages, up to several. The more completely you explore these things, the better. You should number your answers (1) to (5) as shown above.
