This is a paper I wrote for my Strategy in the Global Economy class about collaboration and conflict between Apple, Foxconn, the United States and China and how their strategies have evolved over the past 15 years. This was my first assigned paper in the course and I completed it individually. I was required to discuss four specific factors that contributed to each entity’s strategy over a 15 year span: manufacturing, market share, trade and tax policies, and national interests. This required me to evaluate public statements, data, and analysis across numerous sources to determine these strategies and synthesize them. I had never written a paper focused on such broad swaths of globalization across multinational corporations and states; I learned a new way of thinking globally. This paper pushed me to succinctly analyze trends and provide a compelling argument about what strategies each party employed.
STRATEGY IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY LEARNING OUTCOMES: 1) discuss the issues, problems, challenges, and opportunities that arise from the confluence of commerce, culture and politics under the current regime of globalization, 2) critically analyze key global trends transforming our world and its commerce, 3) identify, negotiate, overcome, and utilize the aforementioned cross-border differences strategically.
