BUS470 Module 1 Assignment 2: Ethical Issues and Foreign Investments
analyze the following scenario:
There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international investments. One aspect relates to
human rights. Most Latin American governments have constitutions that mandate health care as
a human right, yet some of these countries provide poor health care for the majority of their
population.
During the 1980s, the general populace of these countries deteriorated, even though several Latin
American countries developed strategies to reposition medical personnel and services to rural
areas. Throughout this time, many international donors provided assistance; however they did so
with imposed conditions. An example of this constrained assistance was the World Bank, which
imposed restrictions that included privatization of health care, as well as required limitations on
universal access.
Did the World Bank and other international donors act responsibly and ethically in constraining
their humanitarian assistance? Who has the responsibility for the health care of the Latin
American people? Is it a reasonable and socially responsible practice to offer international
assistance in exchange for an opportunity to shape a country’s political and/or social system?
Why or why not?

computers we use to work, are each likely to have been manufactured in whole or in part in
different parts of the world. While there are still companies and firms that maintain local and
national borders, it is almost unheard of in the 21st century that an industry does not maintain an
international strategic position.
From an executive’s position, identify and explain at least three challenges and opportunities that
might face an international executive over the next five years. Provide possible solutions of how
the executive might address these issues in order for their firm to maintain a competitive
advantage.

BUS470 Module 4 Assignment 2: Marketing of the Acquisition by EDUS
In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the
acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment.Click here to review the EDUS case and
consider the following:
Topics for Research and Analysis

Promotional Goals: Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS’s acquisition
of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students
of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some
organizations need to create awareness of their product’s benefits compared to competitors.
Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing
customers or lower prices.)
Business Environment: Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional
decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to
the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials
selling products aimed at children.)
Media Plan: Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating
with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television,
radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries,
developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising
messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.)
Promotional Strategy: Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new
students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student
body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from
this acquisition.
Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment: Investigate the economic, cultural, and
political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this
acquisition.

Recommended Actions: Recommend EDUS actions related to promotional goals, needed
adaptations due to cultural or legal factors, and a media plan. Provide evidence to support your
recommendations.
Conclusions:Draw conclusions about the material you have presented. The opinions or
judgments you present should be supported by your research.
