• Compare and contrast some advantages and disadvantages to pursuing the merger as opposed to pursuing an association.

• What are some of the social implications of doing business with this firm (human rights, social responsibility, and etcetera)?

Requirements:

• Create a PowerPoint presentation, at least 7-9 slides, not counting the title or reference slides.

  • Highlight the expected benefits, such as increased market share, cost savings, or technological advancements.

Slide 4: Comparison of Merger vs. Association

  • Merger:
    • Complete integration of two companies.
    • Greater control and synergies.
    • Potential for higher risks and challenges in integration.
  • Association:
    • Collaboration between two companies without full integration.
    • Lower risk and easier to dissolve.
    • Limited potential for synergies and control.

Slide 5: Social Implications

  • Discuss potential social implications of doing business with the chosen country, such as:
    • Human rights concerns
    • Labor practices
    • Environmental impact
    • Cultural differences

Slide 6: Conclusion

  • Summarize the key points of the presentation.
  • Reiterate the benefits of the merger or acquisition.
  • Address any potential challenges and mitigation strategies.

Note:

  • The specific content of your presentation will depend on the details of the merger or acquisition you choose.
  • Be sure to research the cultural norms, business practices, and regulatory environment of the country involved.
  • Use visuals, such as charts and graphs, to enhance your presentation and make it more engaging.

Example:

If the merger or acquisition involved a company from Saudi Arabia, you could discuss potential social implications related to women’s rights, religious freedom, and labor practices. You could also highlight the opportunities for cultural exchange and economic development that the merger or acquisition could bring to both countries.
