Project 8 - Global Ecommerce
The World Factbook is a comprehensive resource providing information on 267 world entities. It covers a range of topics including history, society, government, economy, energy, geography, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues. The Reference tab offers a variety of maps, flags, and a Country Comparison function that ranks information and data in over 75 Factbook fields.
Selling products online presents a challenge in understanding the global marketplace. Small businesses can reach customers beyond their borders, making it crucial to identify potential target countries. In this assignment, you will select three countries and conduct basic demographic research. You will also investigate the products typically purchased online and the payment and shipping methods used in each country. Using this information, you will recommend the best and worst countries to sell your product, explaining your reasoning. Factors to consider include age, religion, language, government type, geography, climate, and natural resources.
Project Requirements
Once you have chosen and researched your three countries, your task will be to create a 4-minute video presentation using a microphone, screen capture, and presentation software. The presentation should consist of 10 slides and conclude with your recommendation on which country to target for selling your products.
Step-by-Step Guide to Complete the Project:
Step 1. Begin by creating a title slide that includes your name and the names of the three countries you have chosen.
Step 2. Create a set of slides for each country, including a slide with the country name, a picture of the country and its flag, a slide with basic demographic information (population, religion, language, education, etc.), and a slide with research on ecommerce in the country (purchases, payments, and shipping).
Step 3. Your PowerPoint presentation should now have a total of 10 slides.
Step 4. Add a final slide to your PowerPoint with your country recommendation, listing the countries in order of rank. Explain why you have chosen a particular country as the best target for selling your products.
Step 5. Use a screen capture software program to create a voice-over video of your PowerPoint presentation. Keep the text to a minimum and use high-quality images and relevant facts to support your findings. The video should be no longer than 4 minutes.
