Assignment Question

This essay does not have to be perfect and should mainly aim to be objective as well as heavily reliant on the sources attached below. Use the articles attached, Word docs of essays already written for the class, and the class lecture slides to find the relevant information. No outside sources are allowed per the rubric. Please reach out for any assistance, questions, etc… I will be active until the due date. ** Upon graduation from this University, you take a job at a prestigious consulting firm in Europe. You and your team conduct extensive market research for multinational corporations on a variety of subjects, such as corporate expansions, mergers and acquisitions, and risk analysis. One day, your firm lands a major contract with one of Europe’s largest technology companies. The company has decided to expand by building a large factory for semiconductor device fabrication. However, the location of the factory is still being debated and one of the potential locations is the United States. You and your colleagues are tasked with evaluating a possible factory location in Pennsylvania. Your team divides the analysis; while your peers write reports on the American economy, labor market, financial system, infrastructure, and climate, your individual responsibility is an evaluation of the American political system. Because you are the only individual who studied the American political system at university, you are best suited for this evaluation.

You are tasked with the following:

1. In the introduction of your report, you should summarize the overall health and stability of the American political system with a numbered score out of one hundred. The introduction should also highlight the report’s key findings for quick reading by company executives. 2. In the body of your paper, you should frequently cite literature from the course syllabus supporting your score for the American political system. A minimum of eight (8) and a maximum of ten (10) sources should be used for this assignment. You should cite evidence using APA, MLA, or APSA citation formats. Pro Tip: I already typed up every reference for course material in APSA formatting. This can be found in the ”Course Schedule” section of the class syllabus. By all means, please save yourself some time and copy it from me.

3. The assignment should aim to be as objective as possible. Your client has hired your firm for their objective analysis – subjective attitudes or biases may hurt your firm’s opportunities for future contracts.

4. This is an open book and open note assignment; you are encouraged to use all the material available to complete the assignment, especially reflection essays. Synthesize what you’ve already written this semester and display it in the aggregate.

5. The submission should be an eight (8) to ten (10) page essay.

6. The paper should be typed and double-spaced with 1-inch margins on the top, bottom and both sides of the page with half-inch indentations for new paragraphs. The font size should be twelve (12) and use a professional-style font like Times New Roman or Computer Modern. Students are required to submit all written work in .docx/.doc format. A title page should be included on a separate page at the beginning of the document and a bibliography should be included on a separate page at the end of the document. The title page and bibliography do not contribute to the page count.

7. You are limited to using class material for the assignment (this is a final and an evaluation of your course knowledge). The use of outside sources will be penalized. For a complete grading rubric, please see the “Files” section of Canvas.
