Your Task: Evaluate the accuracy and importance of the above statement in International Business Transactions by addressing the following:

1. What legal and procedural considerations need to be taken into account when making a decision to import goods in Australia? How are trade remedies utilised and regulated? (12 Marks )

2. Evaluate the way in which non-tariff barriers play an important role in restricting imports. What are the fundamental rationales for these barriers and how are they ‘disciplined’ under GATT, SPS and TBT agreements? (10 Marks)

4. Provide a critical analysis of the role of the Appellate Body in dealing with export duties in the China Dispute DS394 under the WTO dispute settlement system. Does this decision provide adequate incentives for Member States to invoke the system? Support your argument by relying on scholarly sources. (20 Marks)

1. Value Chain and standardisation vs. local adaptation. marks
a. Has the student correctly used Porter’s Value Chain model as it relates to the Burberry business in China and identified a number of areas of the Burberry business that are standardised or adapted for China? 10
b. How well has the student explained why parts of the business have been standardised and why other parts have been adapted for the Chinese market? How much evidence have they used to support their explanation and how well reasoned is their rationale? 5
c. At what level of detail and evidence has the student explained how these standardisations or local market adaptations deliver competitive advantages (or avoid competitive disadvantages) in China? 15
I have already attached the Burberry case study and below is the marking scheme to the part of the assignment that I need editing , I will attach this part of the assignment that needs editing.
Attached is a case study on Burberry, which contains some relevant information. You will need to carry out more extensive research in order to complete your assignment successfully. The case study does NOT include all the information you need. The additional sources of information you will use for your assignment will be of a “secondary” nature i.e. will be readily available from existing published sources such as the internet. Referenced HARVARD style.

The previous writer didn’t take the points above into consideration and failed to answer the above, I’ve tried to break the point down further:-
• Using the Value chain how has Burberry kept parts of their business area in China standardised

Also

• Using the value chain Identify and explain how and why ,Burberry has adapted other parts of their business to China.

• Explain how these standardisations and local market adaptations deliver competitive advantages or avoid competitive disadvantages for Burberry in China?
