Analyse an emerging/developing economy and a developed economy as a possible site for a firm to establish a subsidiary
Analyse an emerging/developing economy and a developed economy as a possible site for a firm to establish a subsidiary. Your selection of economies is limited to the following choices:
•‘Emerging/Developing’: Ukraine, Egypt, Vietnam (choose one from these three)
•‘Developed’: Norway, Canada, Hong Kong (choose one from these three)
Assume that you are responsible for a large Australian manufacturing firm that is keen to internationalise by establishing a subsidiary (office) in the host economy. Consider the following issues that would help you make such a business decision:
• In the context of political, legal, cultural and economic factors, what are the advantages and disadvantages of investing in each economy?
The report should be a balanced consideration of the potential positive and negative aspects of each economy. Consider the opportunities and the risks for each nation. It should be a balanced consideration of the overall prospects for successful investment there. Finally, you should conclude as to which economy will be the host of your investment – your final decision/recommendation must be supported and justified.
Report Format Guide (just a guide not a required format):
4. Analysis(3000 words)
This section will cover the following sub-sections:
Political, legal*, cultural and economic factors(750 words for each factor)
- Outline the advantages and disadvantages of each economy
- Consider drawing on (but do not limit yourself to) elements discussed in lectures and from your text
*You may wish to combine Political and Legal factors and spread the word count to other sections
5. Recommendations(1000 words)
- Identify and describe the choice of economy for strategic investment
- Justify your reasoning drawing on and expanding on relevant sections from Part 4.
- Make sure that you draw on relevant sections from Part 4
- Ensure that your reasoning is internally consistent
- Consider short term and long term goals
But I would have an answer for part 4 (the analysis section) soon, so I would just need answers for part 5 (the recommendation bit). Is that possible?
Thank you
