You work as a junior researcher for a business magazine called 'Enterprise Today'. You have been asked to prepare the background material for one of the magazine's reporters, Tandy Jackson, whom is planning a series of articles on UK Businesses.
Tandy's first article was well received and she was pleased with the research work you did on the selected companies. She now would like to run a feature on UK companies that have expanded or sourced some of their business operations out to the Far East, ideally focusing on China. She has provided you with links to a couple of articles that either focus on or make reference to UK businesses operating in the Far East.
As part of your next task Tandy would like you to read these articles and then perform more extended research to find details further details about these or other businesses operating in the Far East.

Tandy has decided that the main feature of the article will be the differences that the business experiences between operating under the different economic conditions that exist in the UK to those that exist in the Far East.
Focusing on one of the businesses that you have researched, Tandy would like a report on that business that describes the main differences experienced in these two contrasting economies. P5
Add a further section to the report to expand on your findings described in Task 1 that discusses the extra challenges or difficulties that the business faces as a result of the contrasting economic conditions. M2
