I need you to generate responses for me in the voice of an African literate.

I have an M.Sc. level project on International Business and Strategy and the brief goes thus:
The organisation of your choice is planning to expand its footprint in a new country (selected in CW1). Please prepare a report explaining “how” this internationalisation initiative can be implemented by analysing the layers of business environment, plausible strategic choice(s) and propose a suitable method for strategy implementation.
The chosen organisation should be the same as in CW1.
[This is a continuation of the internationalisation strategy analysis of your organisation of choice from CW1 where you answered the “why”, “what”, “where” and “how” questions for the past/existing internationalisation initiative followed by your proposal for a new internationalisation initiative. Now you are going to analyse the implementation of this strategy (the “how” question) in CW2]

Tasks:
Demonstration of analytical skills of working with data and problem-solving
Provide evidence of critical approach in your writing
Skilful and critical application of the theoretical models/concepts to address the assessment task
Use of a wide range of credible academic and professional sources to develop arguments
Demonstrate an evidence of wider reading and research
Use of relevant and up-to-date information on the chosen company

Format:
Maximum word limit of 3,500 words, excluding title page, executive summary, table of content, references and appendixes.
An executive summary of NOT MORE than 250 words
An up–to–date information on the chosen organisation
A clear identification of the main ideas and issues involved
The development of those ideas and associated arguments
Please use appropriate theory/theories and frameworks to support your argument (but remember, more is NOT always better!)
Clearly defined introduction and conclusion
Logically structured and concisely written text
Use of relevant and up-to-date information on the chosen company
Correctly and appropriately referenced
Evidence of wider reading
All the relevant figures and tables should be embedded in the running text in the appropriate position

Suggested Structure:
Title page – Module and CW2 title, tutor name, student ID number
Table of contents
Executive summary – max 250 words
Introduction and a brief background (approx. 250 words) – this follows up from the new internationalisation initiative you proposed in CW1
Situation analysis (approx. 1000 words) – critically evaluate the strategic position at macro, industry/sector and organisational level to support the rationale for choosing the target country/region
Analysis of strategic choices (approx. 1200 words) – identify strategic choices for the foreign market entry. Please use organisation’s internationalisation strategy as the benchmark (refer to CW1), can they follow the same strategy? Was/is there any learning especially from a not so successful attempt? How do the competitors internationalise in the same market?
Strategy implementation (approx. 1000 words) – how can the chosen strategy be implemented? Do you foresee any challenges? How do you propose to address these?
Conclusion (approx. 50 words)

The criteria for marking:
Your report will be marked based on the following criteria:
Analysis and critical evaluation
