Essay Instructions: Prepare a paper that supports your case study research (i.e., refer/apply to team company and web-group country) of not more than 10 pages in which you discuss and apply the following observation from Kelly:

Team Company: Scottish Energy
Web-Group Country: Spain

In the coming decade, an increasingly global economy will generate different and seemingly contradictory economic conditions around the world. The spread of the market economy ??" and its substantial reinvention by new entrants ??" will create new prosperity and opportunity for millions of people … this economic dynamic will also generate friction and decline for many (Kelly 2006, p. 131).

Support your analysis with reference to Hill and Kelly:

1. Economic Prosperity and Opportunity: Draw on research, current international press and your own experience with the foreign exchange market and/or the global monetary system. Identify factors that in your opinion contribute to economic prosperity.

2. Economic Friction and Decline: inform your paper with reference to scholarly and professional publication on the topic, including your learning from previous MBA courses. Identify sectors, countries, regions and causes of economic decline.

3. Your Recommendations: Based on your research, you should conclude with your best "Recommendations for Managing Global Prosperity", and include an Executive Summary for your case study client (use Executive Summary Tool).
