Country Risk Assessment and Presentation -
Student groups will adopt the role of a risk management team for a MNC to assess the political, economic, and social risks existing in a developing country. The country selected must be approved in advance by the instructor. Important in this country analysis is a recognition of the constraints faced by the developing country government, the role of the IFIs and NGOs, and the limitations of MNCs concerning their operations in that country. Papers should not summarize country data, but integrate course and text theories and concepts in a final recommendation for foreign investment. Statistical analysis of country data is especially useful. The country risk assessment paper must include a section outlining the risk mitigation approaches that MNCs must consider when operating in this environment. Do not base your research on a Google search or Wikipedia.
Do not seek or use any of the numerous country risk analyses already written on your chosen country. You have access to many online databases at the Armacost Library, as well as external sources of primary data listed on Moodle. Also, especially relevant are chapters 5, 6, and 11 from the Howell text Political Risk Assessment. These readings provide a range of considerations to include in assessing the type, level, and characteristics of risk in your chosen country. Chapter 6 provides outlines on various models used by organizations to measure political risk. Your team must select one model or a combination of them to anchor the analysis in your paper. Written drafts are due before our final in-class session via Moodle for instructor comments. Final papers clearly identifying all group members must be submitted in Word format (no PDF files) to Moodle.
Our final in-class session will include short presentations (will need to prepare powerpoint) and discussion of these assessments.
Would be nice to start the paper with a short executive summary

Can you please start getting some indices for India for the country analysis, and sent it to me maybe tomorrow or after tomorrow before starting the paper; do you know how to do the weighted average calculation?
