This is Phase 2 of a previous project that was submitted. Part 1 is attached. I have chosen to expand operations into Panama as Total Energies. Please see more detail below:
the memo that was started in Unit III. The memo must be three to four pages, thorough, and it must be well cited with
current references to support key points.
As a firm considers expanding into another country, there are many things that must be resolved. It is useful to consider the
five Ws and H: who, what, where, when, why, and how:
Why are we considering this expansion, and does it fit with our strategy and operations?
What are the tasks we will be doing in this country?
Where will we locate in the country?
Who should we involve in the planning of our move and the execution of this initiative?
When do we want these steps to be completed?
How do we proceed? What are the steps?
Of course, we must also outline the legal framework of the country we are looking to move goods into, including an
assessment of how the World Trade Organization views the country from a trade perspective, what types of regional trade
agreements may be in place, how e-commerce laws might affect this situation, and the dispute resolution options open to
us.
To complete this assignment, create and submit your memo that includes all of the points outlined above. Your memo must
be three to four pages in length, and you must use at least four academic sources in your memo. Be sure to cite and
reference any resources used in APA format.
