| Answer 8. |
In Sem-IV, the students have to select any company, industry, sector or organization
of selected foreign country and study that sector in details. The students should
undertake SWOT analysis one or more sector, industry/ company of the selected country
and find out the possibility of trade/commerce, investment or collaboration of India
/ Gujarat with that country. The potential of business with foreign country must
be based on the supportive authentic information/data, or project report. Since
there will be at least 10 Groups from each class which might have selected one country
and therefore, the faculty guides will allot one or more organizations/ industry
/ sectors to one group for study. For example, one group will study one or more
sectors tourism, textile, chemical industry OR one or more industries of that country
and another group/s will study another sectors or companies in details. After making
detailed analysis, all groups will find out possibilities of trade and commerce
with that country. Thus all ten group will prepare detailed report of the country
and find out possibilities / potentials of trade and business with India/Gujarat.
The group of 6 students may be subdivided for specific task by the faculty guide
for methodical and effective work.
|
| Answer 9. |
Simply use this guideline for reference. E.g. if after studying the country you
decide that import or export is the option for chosen industry/product/service/brand/company
then include information pertaining to import and export. If you suggest doing collaboration
of Indian company and company of the chosen country please use that information
to prepare the report. These are suggestion to you. Guide faculty should use their
knowledge, judgment and own ideas to create the report. Faculty guide should decide
what to include in the report. Any suggestions or conclusion you are suggesting
in the report must be accompanied with evidence and arguments.
