Evaluate each of the assigned two countries on AT LEAST the dimensions listed below. Your analysis should be both factual (e.g., 32% of the population is malnourished) and evaluative (the poor nutrition is a result of poor agriculture and distribution rather than of poverty in this country).
Your written report will include both narrative and whatever tables, maps and figures are necessary to adequately describe the countries of interest. This is not meant to be a head to head evaluation, per se. The goal is to create a resource base for evaluation. I assign multiple countries in order to give context (i.e., researching one country alone is somewhat sterile and isolated).
Sources must be cited properly. As noted previously, the College of Business Administration is using APA style. Please reflect that in your paper. You need not attribute every “bit” of data, but I should be able to identify the specific sources through your in-text citations. If you use a chart, graph, figure or the like from a published or internet source, that “direct quotation” should be acknowledged.
