This assessment consists of a written paper of 3,000 words. The theme for the paper is ‘The internationalization of an entrepreneurial venture: A critical analysis’.

The reading is TAVAZO CO case.
The paper should achieve four objectives with the following weightings:
1. Describe the main story of the venturing process and the entrepreneur (s) who made it happen (20 %).
2. Critically evaluate the business strategies employed (e.g. funding issues, opportunity development, intellectual property rights issues, growing the business etc.) and main problems when growing internationally (30 %).
3. Critically describe and develop criteria for market selection (30%)
4. Highlight the typical problems that small businesses face with internationalization, especially in an environment of scarce resources (20 %).
