TASK QUESTION

Why would an Australian based company wish to devlop an export market to China? Evaluate the financial, political, legal & Social/Cultural implications of moving into an export market with specific reference to China.

We will be marked on how well we:

1) Explain the impact of global business environment on Australian Businesses wishing to export.
2) Evaluate the implications of moving into an export market
3) Communicate using relevant business terminology and concepts in appropriate forms.
