The purpose of this assignment is to understand how the political environment of a foreign country affects decisions of an MNC, such as entry, operations, etc. At some point, almost every MNC will encounter some type of political unrest in a foreign country. It’s important to be proactive as much as possible with decision-making.
Select a foreign country who has experienced recent political unrest (select up to the previous 10 years). Using the readings, lecture, and your own scholarly research, complete a political risk analysis of the country. Address the following in your paper:
- What is the current political environment for the country?
- How did the political unrest affect business for an MNC? Select an MNC to provide context as an example.
- What recommendations do you have for an MNC wanting to enter this country to expand its operations?
Use critical thinking to apply depth and breadth. Be concise and address the country and its political environment. Go beyond description and restating the facts.
