OL 668 Final Project Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
Analysis and Recommendations Part III: Global Political Trends
Overview
In Milestone One, you analyzed the mission statement and technological factors of Nimble Storage after reading the Nimble Storage: Scaling Talent Strategy Amidst Hyper-Growth case study. For Milestone Two, you explored the cultural enhancements necessary to improve business practices for companies that are gearing up for a global expansion. In this milestone, you will analyze political trends and critical success factors and make the final recommendations necessary for Nimble during its global expansion by composing a short paper of your findings.
In addition to writing this short paper, this milestone also requires you to finish populating the remaining rows of the PESTEL Analysis Worksheet. This worksheet will be used as a visual aid to help you understand the data necessary to determine the steps Nimble Storage will need to take in order to go global. This worksheet allows you to work through the characteristics of the different countries.
As you finish filling out the remainder of the PESTEL Analysis Worksheet, be sure to save the document after you submit it to your instructor as you will be expected to upload the document with the feedback applied with your final project submission.
