Any topic (writer’s choice)

Running Your Own Multi National Corporation (MNC)(Project Introduction)
Developing Your Idea
Create an idea for your own MNC to conduct international business. Your idea should focus on one country and one foreign currency, since many MNCs are focused in this manner when they are first created. So that you can recognize the issues regarding exchange rate risk that are discussed throughout this text, you should assume that you will receive foreign currency when selling your product. Your idea should be for a small MNC instead of a large MNC because even most large MNCs began as small firms.

I am attaching the paper detail and guidelines in the attachment, which you will have to follow while writing this.

What Are You Talking About? 

Traveling is a kind of activity, which almost all people love. For someone, it is an opportunity to relax and abstract from everyday busy life. For others, it is interesting to observe the way people of other cultures and mentality live. Some people consider it to be the best way to have fun.

    2.    Why Are You Interested in It?

We choose traveling as a topic because we all know about travel. Travel is an incredible thing, and every trip must leave us some happy and terrible memories. I believe our team members have traveled to a lot of places, and there must be something memorable in every place. It is interesting that our members can share travel experiences and collect them as bulleted points of what we have learned during the trip; why we like to travel and where we recommend you go.

    3.  How Will You Be Presenting It?
    We will be presenting our topic by using a slideshow format, and each of our group members will be reporting a different city or country that we will be traveling or we did travel. We choose using slideshow because it is an easier, clear, and convenient way to report information to the audiences, and we can report it in order by each step, so we will not be messed up. And also slideshow can include pictures or video links to show and make it a more integrated understanding for the audiences.

    4.  What Do You Want the Audience/Reader to Take Away?
   
    At the end of our presentation, we would like to persuade our audience to consider traveling and explore the world. Our group consists of travelers and we have been all around the world. For example, China, Dubai, Australia and those are just some of the places we traveled to. We want to provide information to those who have not traveled out of the United States before and let them know what it’s like outside of the states. We know that there are many people who are afraid to travel out of their country but we can assure you that it is safe and will provide information for them to stay safe. In the end, we want our audience to explore and experience what our planet offers.
