International Financial Environment

Order Description You are asked to assume that you work in the finance department of a large multinational corporation. Your day-to-day duties involve assessing proposed investment projects to see if they meet the company’s criteria for suitable investments. Your boss has now asked you to take some time out from your regular role to spend some time on a bit of ‘blue sky’ thinking. She was recently reading about a country *…MALAYSIA…………., and is wondering why our company hasn’t yet considered investing there. She wants you to complete a brief report to be circulated to senior management advising on the opportunities and risks of investing in *…MALAYSIA…………, including strategies to manage any potential or identified risks. As your company operates across 18 different industries and currently has operations in 80 countries grossing $75billion in revenue annually, there is essentially very little limit to what would be considered a suitable investment – either monetarily or industry-specific. Your report should; 1. Be presented in a professional manner. (10 marks) 2. Provide some relevant background information on the country. (10 marks) 3. Report briefly on the key identified investment opportunities in the country (20 marks) 4. Analyse the key risks associated with investing in this country. (30 marks) 5. Identify some approaches to managing the risks associated with investing in the country. (30 marks) Parts 4 and 5 should attract the majority of your attention in writing the report and should demonstrate good understanding of the course material and practical application.
