Week 3 Basic Marketing Research Discussion

CHALLENGE: If you can show me one U.N. member country (there are about 204 of them) that has a ‘FREE MARKET’ SYSTEM, which I define here are as having NO RULES, NO REGULATIONS AND NO LAWS IMPACTING DOING BUSINESS, then I’ll give you a 5/5 on this DB. Simply name that country, but don’t waste my time on stuff you haven’t adequately researched. If I can find rules, regulations and laws – you get a 2/5 for being wrong.If there are no ‘free market’ countries – and there aren’t – THEN IN THIS WEEK’S DISCUSSION BOARD PLEASE RESEARCH AND DISCUSS SOME MAJOR RULES, REGULATIONS AND LAWS THAT IMPACT DOING BUSINESS FOR THE FIRM THAT YOU SELECTED FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL PROJECT (The same Harvard case that your group PAPER is on).DISCUSS HOW THOSE SPECIFIC RULES, REGULATIONS AND LAWS SHAPE AND IMPACT STRATEGY FOR YOUR FIRM. This is a valuable compare and contrast DB exercise – so please put some serious brain power into it – because different groups are doing different firms.
