ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

The CEO has asked you and Jane to create a chart that he might use as part of his decision process

Prepare a 6-column, 5-row chart for the following countries and parameters:in deciding what countries in which to locate overseas factories. He also wants an accompanying recommendation summary from an HR perspective.

Columns (countries) are:

Japan

Mexico

India

China

Italy

Germany

Rows (factors to research) for each country are:

Average manufacturing wage

Country’s minimum wage

Typical restrictive work rules where there are unions

How unions enhance or detract from company results

Country’s unemployment rate

It is unlikely that you will find all of the necessary data in one online database. Instead, you will have to research a number of different ones.

In addition, in some cases you may have to make calculations from a “base=100” report to get an actual dollar figure.

Ensure that you cite the references used, in proper APA format.

Wikipedia is an unacceptable reference

For minimum wages, try one of the following sites:

Minimum Wages database

List of minimum wages by country

For unemployment percentages try the following site:

Unemployment rate (most recent) by country (be sure to note the year of the data)

Your recommendation summary should explain which country you recommend for the future overseas expansion, based solely on the data in your chart.
