A-Research the evolution of political and legal systems in a country that you are familiar with (not the U.S.) by using globaledge.msu.edu. Remember traditionally authoritarian countries are transitioning towards representative governments: this may be in response to changes driven by globalization and technology.

Part B

1.     Free market economies stimulate greater economic growth, whereas state-directed stifle growth. Discuss.

2.     You are the CEO of a company that has to choose between making a $100 million investment in Russia or Poland. Both investments promise the same long-run return, so your choice is driven by risk considerations. Assess the various risks of doing business in each of these nations. Which investment would you favor and why?

Part C

1.     Increased instability in the global marketplace can introduce unanticipated risks in a company’s daily transactions. Your company must evaluate these commercial transaction risks for its foreign operations in Argentina, China, Egypt, Poland, and South Africa. A risk analyst at your firm said that you could evaluate both the political and commercial risk of these countries simultaneously. Provide a commercial transaction risk overview of all five countries for top management. In your evaluation, indicate possible corrective measures in the countries with considerably high political and/or commercial risk. 

2.     Managers at your firm are very concerned about the influence of terrorism on its long-term strategy. To counter this issue, the CEO has indicated you must identify the countries where terrorism threat and political risk are minimal. This will provide the basis for the development of future company facilities, which need to be built in all major continents in the world. Include recommendations on which countries in each continent would serve as a good candidate for your company to further analyze.
