Question

Select an emerging market economy of your choice. For this economy:

(a)Comment on its industrial structure.
(b)Collect data for selected macro-economic indicators for this economy such as GDP, Balance of Payments, Imports/Exports, Inward/outward FDI, inflation, Unemployment,

etc., for the last 10 years. What can you conclude from this data? (30%)
Using examples from your research into Emerging Markets describe the different modes of entry for firms involved in FDI and comment on the attendant dilemma of global

standardisation verses local responsiveness? (70%).

You can use countries such as Brazil, Russia, Turkey or other emerging market. I would prefer if you don’t use China or India please as it will probably be the most

picked choices by other students. In any case, suit yourself as you think will be the best for my mark. Thank you
