Business Analysis for Cross-border Investments

The course’s objective is to provide a framework for analyzing the key components of the business environment for cross-border investment projects into emerging markets. In the first part we’ll identify the major risk factors resulting from the international macroeconomic uncertainties as well as from the host country macro and regulatory conditions. Later we turn to more business-specific considerations behind cross-border direct investment decisions. Attractions resulting from relevant market opportunities, cost factors and infrastructure availabilities will be weighted against threats resulting from the difficulties of doing business in a particular business environment. We’ll use several international rankings as well as selected case study materials and classroom discussions to introduce the framework of the analysis in depth, which will be expected to be applied by each student to their own particular company in the form of the final written exam.
