Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to utilize trade statistics to research markets and analyze trends and opportunities for international trade, while identifying implications for responsible business. These skills may be useful for the team project you complete later in the course. The assignment will build upon data-driven decision-making skills you have developed in other MBA coursework.
Your task is to analyze trade data to identify and interpret trends relating to one of the issues outlined below; select the issue you find most interesting. Develop a methodology that fits your issue in terms of the direction of the trade (exports versus imports), time frame (years or months included), countries included in the analysis, and other options within the database. Your report should focus on using the trade data to present evidence identifying trends relating to the issue you select. Additional research may be helpful to get up to speed with the issue that you select, but your report should focus on directly making sense of the trade data. Present a concise report of your analysis and include tables, charts, and/or graphs as appropriate to draw data-driven conclusions. While not required, you may use statistical procedures in your analysis.
Your report should consist of four sections:
1. Methodology. Explain and justify the methodology you used in your analysis, such as the countries you included, the time period, and the analytical approach. Focus on the ITC trade data; other data sources are not required.
2. Results. Incorporate at least one data table and one graph to illustrate your main results.
3. Conclusions. Draw appropriate inferences based on the data you have collected and analyzed.
4. Implications for Business Opportunities and Responsible Business. Discuss implications for your conclusions for business opportunities and for responsible business.
Select one of the following three issues to focus on for your assignment:
