The purpose of this paper is to allow you to reflect upon and evaluate the impacts of the global supply chain on the current economic condition in Canada. Robert Reich is outlining the world and U.S. economic conditions in the early 1990s and providing insight on the future impacts on the global economy. Pick out four of his ideas, predictions or projections (scenarios) from the number of ideas he discusses. Reflect upon his thoughts. Define and explain his perspective. Place Reich’s observations into the current condition. His ideas are very close to the current reality of the global supply chain, although the current world order is being challenged by the likes of President Trump, Chinese foreign policy, and to some extent Brexit. The level of economic cooperation between nations is coming into question. You should read the book with an inquisitive mind set. I am looking for good reflective thoughts on Robert Reichs thesis and how his observations relate to the current business operating environment in Canada. Follow the 5-paragraphy essay format. Make sure you have a sound opening thesis statement to start your argument along with a well thought out yet succinct conclusion. Moving forward into the middle of the 21st century, I want you to think about the possibilities for the Canadian economy. This is really a story about the work environment you will be entering once you graduate from University. The Reading Section on the Blackboard site has a few reports written by the Martin Prosperity Institute based within the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. These reports might help you develop good critical thinking and creative ideas. This institute is no longer receiving philanthropic money and thus will not be conducting this important research. Fraser Institute, C.D. Howe Institute, and the Conference Board of Canada are the best alternate sources on business and government relationships in Canada. You are expected to conduct a little bit of on-line research looking at news events or reporting on current events in order to make your argument.
