Managing International Risks & Ethics in Finance Investment
There are several risks associated with operating a multinational corporation. Anycompany doing business in a foreign country has to consider political or country risks. Especially if the target country has a relatively unstable political environment, financial managers must incorporate the potential risk into the cost of the project.
Discuss the following statements/questions:
1. Given the risks associated with an MNC, discuss why a firm would choose to operate as an MNC.
2. Describe political risk on a macro and micro level and provide examples of each.
3. Why is the repatriation of cash flows from an overseas project considered critical?
