Country Analysis report
In this report, indicate the type of good (or the range of goods) that your firm is producing. It should highlight key points on economic-geographic, social -cultural, political-legal environments and the bilateral relations between U.A.E and the countries under review. It must also demonstrate research from a variety of sources (books, internet, journals...) by referencing in-text and providing a reference list.
1. Conduct a detailed analysis of the commercial environment of these countries i.e. their demographic, economic, political, legal and physical characteristics (relevant to the product) - and then argue (based on relevant theory) the choice you eventually make between them. (For this assignment you are not required to undertake a competitor analysis.)
2. Indicate clearly the type of good (or the range of goods) that you produce. It may be a processed primary product or a light or heavy manufactured item (hi tech or low tech).
3. For this project in 600 words or less you need to justify the mode of entry.
