With reference to appropriate models, theories, frameworks, and academic literature, you are
required to create a digital academic poster that responds the following:
Choose a MNC and one of its subsidiary countries to illustrate the challenges an ‘expatriate’ 
manager will face in the chosen host country in comparison to the parent country, for 
example corruption, risk factors etc and you are to provide appropriate recommendations to 
overcome these challenges. The academic poster will illustrate knowledge and application of 
appropriate models, frameworks, and theory but also be esthetically pleasing with the use of 
colour, imagery and imagination to represent the chosen country. The poster must include
text citation and a reference list.
The size of the digital academic poster is A1 (594mm x 841mm) and the word count is 800-
1200 words (+/- 10%) and it is weighted at 100% of the overall mark. The poster can be 
submitted via PowerPoint (one slide) or PDF.
This is an individual assessment and does not require a presentation.
Word limits for assignments
Please note, in text citations [e.g. (Smith, 2011)] and direct secondary quotations [e.g. “dib￾dab nonsense analysis” (Smith, 2011 p.123)] are INCLUDED in the word count.
Summarising and compressing the information in your assignment into the word limit is 
one of the skills that students are expected to acquire and demonstrate as part of the 
assignment process. 
Submission of Assessment:
All assignments must be submitted via the Turnitin Dropbox on the hand-in date 
notified at the beginning of this brief. It is advisable to retain a copy of your assignment 
for you own records. Your mark and feedback will be made available to you electronically 
once the internal moderation process has taken place, you should note that at this stage 
marks are still subject to external examiner and academic board approval.
Referencing your work:
In this institution the Harvard method of referencing is used.
The Harvard method of referring to publications and of arranging references uses the 
Assessment Brief – Postgraduate
author's name and the date of the publication. References are listed at the end of the text in 
alphabetical order by author's name. The general format of a journal reference is shown 
below:
Smith, J. (1999) How to succeed! Journal of Entrepreneurs , 1(2), p. 34-56
Author’s name and initials are listed first, followed by year of publication in brackets. Then 
there is the title of article and the journal where article appears, which is underlined or in 
italics. Finally, state the volume and issue Number (in brackets) along with the pages where 
article can be located.
A short guide to Harvard referencing will also be available on the Sunspace site under the 
module assessment navigation button.
Academic Integrity and Misconduct:
Your attention is drawn to the University’s stated position on plagiarism. THE WORK OF 
OTHERS, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE ASSIGNMENT MUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO ITS 
SOURCE (a full bibliography and/or a list of references must be submitted as prescribed in

Please note that this is intended to be an individual piece of work. Action will be taken where 
a student is suspected of having cheated or engaged in any dishonest practice. Students
