Week 1 Discussion 1: Impact of International Business (Initial post Day 3; Respond to a classmate’s post by Day 5)
How can you relate the impact of the issues discussed to your company’s activities and your personal responsibilities? How has your company or how have you been affected by globalization forces, trading, foreign direct investment, NAFTA or other regional trading blocs, the EU, and WTO rules?
Should you not work—or have worked—for an organization or company that is directly engaged in international business, your initial discussion post should either (a) relate this week’s readings and lectures to your company, its suppliers or customers, or (b) frame this week’s course concepts in terms of your personal life (Think of your experiences as a consumer, traveler, voter, citizen of a country, etc.).

purpose of a business impact analysis (BIA) is to identify applications
and data access requirements in an IT infrastructure. The BIA helps you
assess affected IT systems, applications, and resources and align them
with their required recovery time objectives (RTOs). It then helps you
prioritize the identified mission-critical business functions so you
know how IT systems, applications, and resources are impacted.
In this lab, you will define a BIA’s goal and objective, you will identify where the BIA fits in the business continuity plan (BCP), you will identify mission-critical applications and data access requirements, you will perform a BIA qualitative assessment approach, and you will create a BIA executive summary report for management.
