For this assignment you must research a company that has moved its location from the U.S. to a foreign country or from a foreign county to the U.S. You may also use a company that has recently expanded operations so that they have a plant in the U.S. and in a foreign company. However, this must be a real scenario. As an example, let’s say that Ford Motor company was operating 100% in the U.S. and was shipping cars across the country, but then they decided to open a manufacturing plant in China to save on shipping costs.
Once you find your company, answer the following questions throughout your paper.
1 – Describe your company and explain what service they provide or what they sell. Did the entire company move all operations, or did only part of the company move?
2 – Why would this company have made the decision for this drastic move? What was behind this decision and what was the goal? Use terms and concepts about the strategies we studied.
3 – Explain what difficulties were involved. What was the greatest challenge regarding the move? Was it the employees, the expense, the culture, the leadership, etc?
4 – After reviewing the nine models of change, which model of change would you use during this move to another country? Explain why and how the stages of the model would have been implemented for this move.
5 – Was the move a success in the long run?
Use terms and concepts that we have studied. Do not just recount the steps of the move. Discuss the change model in detail.
The paper should be in APA format and approximately 3-5 pages (not including title and reference pages) pages in the main body of the paper. Papers without at least 1050 words of text (not including title and reference page) will have deductions. Don’t add extra spaces between paragraphs to make your paper appear longer. Typically each page should be approximately 350 words.
Make sure you clearly show the answers to the above questions. If you use quotes in your paper (should be very few) you should have more than 1050 words to compensate for the quotes. Your paper should have at least two additional resources beyond the course text. Use scholarly articles.
