I have attached last assignment you wrote. I think this one need to connect to the first one.

First, read the following case:

U.S. Tariffs on Tire Imports from China

Then using some of the resources provided in this section you are asked to think as global managers in the same industry and review the questions at the end of the case. Prepare an internal memorandum to the CEO which overviews the issue and explains the talking points raised from the questions.

Please note your reply must be comprehensive. This denotes that all work must include proper citations and bibliography. All reference works must be scholarly, therefore, it is suggested to use the available links in the electronic library to aid your efforts.
