Describe the country; completing a SWOT analysis; and describing the organization’s operations strategy for this new market. Describe the importance of project management techniques (e.g. PERT and CPM). The importance of forecasting, as well as different approaches that may be implemented by you the OM. As a group you will also be required to describe the design of goods and services for this new market. The design section should include the product development, issues for product design, ethics, and sustainability.
