UNIQUE ASSIGNMENT
What is the most pressing issue that international leaders will have to deal with in the near future? (e.g., in the next five years). Using the module’s content, provide two solutions to this problem.
ONE major impending obstacle (e.g., social-cultural, political, economic, technological, ethical, etc.) that global leaders will likely encounter (e.g., in the next five years)
ONE MAJOR PROBLEM FOR GLOBAL LEADERS (NOT ABOUT POLITICIANS).
1. INTERNATIONAL LEADERS ARE FACING A ‘SIGNIFICANT’ CHALLENGE.
Economists use domain, industry, market and economic activity to identify current issues as future challenges.
WE WANT YOU TO SET THE CONTEXT FOR THE CHALLENGE, NOT JUST NAME IT.
SUSTAINABILITY
WHOSE CHALLENGE IS IT?
TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES/LEGISLATION AND REGULATE MORE CLOSELY HOW BUSINESSES ARE ACCOUNTABLE.
In addition, it creates significant business requirements that vary depending on the industry. EXAMPLE: RADIATOR MAKEUP ENERGY, COSTS, AND WHERE IT COMES FROM.
Globalization appears to be shrinking, and countries are becoming more protective of their own financial and political interests.
THE CHANGE IN RECRUITMENT, SELECTION, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT – TARGET POPULATION OF WORKERS LABOUR MARKET – AVAILABILITY OF PEOPLE INTERESTED AND AVAILABLE IN EMPLOYMENT
The level of skill required compares to the level of skill candidates have at this time.
THE ASSIGNMENT REQUIRES YOU TO STUDY A REAL-LIFE ORGANIZATION.
Make two recommendations for addressing this issue successfully.
N.B. : The two recommendations can be of any kind as long as they support the discussion and suggestions made in the relevant literature.

WHAT ACTIONS CAN THEY TAKE TO EFFECTIVELY USE RESOURCES?

LITERATURE
1. WHAT RESEARCH DO I USE TO BACK UP MY RECOMMENDATIONS?
2. WHAT IS YOUR SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CHALLENGE?
THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO TRAIN EXISTING EMPLOYEES TO TARGET NEW MARKETS OR DEVELOP NEW SKILLS.
